Would anyone know where Howard State for the Insane was around 1900? Many emigrants worked there. Thanks, Carell [email protected]

You might try the Library of Congress site on WWW. The "American Memories" section has a lot of WPA material.

Just so everyone knows - CNN news just announced tomorrows launch of the "Family Search.org" site. I think it's going to be busy! Deirdra

Hi, Does anyone have or know where to find records of the British Army Welsh Fusiliers or Munster Fusiliers? Deirdra

Can anyone tell me where to write to get information on a person who worked on the WPA in Queens Cty, NY for the years of 1933/34 to 1939. Is there more than one place to write according to the type job the person had? My father in law was employed by them in the above time period and am hoping that they might have information on his background. Appreciate any and all help. Thanks to everyone. [email protected] Lorraine Conroy / NY

ADAMS, BROOKS, KIRK, JOHNSTON/JOHNSON, JONES, WALKER, DUNN ...probably all in Northern Ireland. For sure Kirk, Johnston, Walker. Maybe Bigger/Biggert/Biggart. All in southern states late 100's and forward. DALY/DALEY, REILLY in Illinois and Ohio in mid to late 1800's. Very little on these. Especially looking for any information on a Matthew REILLY worked for the railroad in Cincinnati in 1892, married to Catherine Cusick/Cusack...one son..William Matthew REILLY born Feb. 1892. Father Matthew died about 1900, where is unknown. Son and mother ended up in Chicago. Loudene Kirk Tollar Houston, TX

The Irish wills did not survive the Four Courts fire in 1922. Ellen

Bud, I wanted to touch base with you, since I am doing East Clare research for my Carberry and Donnellan families, who lived in the early to mid-1800s in townlands only a couple of miles west of Broadford. I assume you have seen the LDS film of the parish records of O'Callaghan Mills, which covers Broadford (back to 1841, I believe). Also, about two years ago, I was contacted by a Carty descendant whose ancestor lived in Kilkishen and wrote a diary entry about one of my Carberrys as his schoolteacher in 1872, thus establishing that at least one of the family stayed behind after the others either died or emigrated in the 1850s. I am also very interested in the Connell family of Ballymcdonnell and any families in Killuran in the mid-1800s. I found that a Carty was a teacher in Kilkishen in 1862 or so (doing this from memory) as the teacher salary books show, which I consulted in the National Archives in Dublin. Finally, since I am researching Hudson Co. in NJ, I know there is a fairly new CD out on brides and grooms records in NJ. I don't know how extensive the coverage is but it did turn up marriages back to the 1870s, if I recall correctly. My lookup was done by a volunteer, probably on the Hudson County mailing list, the archives for which you can find on the Rootsweb site. Happy hunting. Sharon Carberry

I had an opportunity to go to the state library in Hartford Ct, which has great books for genealogy. I used Glenariga as a means to examine which of the Irish placename books is most detailed. The clear winner was the Genealogical Publishing Co.'s 1984 reprint of the 1851 "Genealogical Alphabetical Index to the Townlands and Towns, Parishes, and Baronies of Ireland." My observa- tion is that there are relatively few placenames using "glen" as a part of the word (as opposed to placenames using the Irish words for rock, rock fortification, field, etc., e.g. "cloon" or "carrig." My candidate for Glenariga is a townland in Co. Limerick, in the Poor Law Union of Glin and the (civil ?) parish of Kilfergus: Glenagragara, which, if I tried to pronounce it and then spell it down through the years, might well reduce to Glenariga. My understanding of Glin is that it is very close to the county border with Clare, and that the old church parishes of Limerick used to flow over into East Clare, which I believe was the case for towns and townlands as far west as Broadford, only about 15 miles east of Ennis.

Hello Everyone, I have copied some pages from Index to Irish Wills Edited by W.P.W. Phillimore and Gertrude Thrift. Are wills still available in Ireland or do only the indexes survive? I am researching Roulston LAIRD in Raphoe Ireland. There is a will listed for: LAIRD, als. Roulston, Jane Raphoe 1822 Roulston LAIRD and his wife Elizabeth JAMESON were having children in Raphoe in the 1820's--1830's so this could be a close relative. Any information on the availabilty of wills is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Kathy Karn

Does anyone happen to have an old issue of LIFE they are willing to part with, or at least photocopy for me? I just found out that a family member is shown on page 13! << I wanted to give you the info on my uncle appearing in Life Magazine. It was page 13 of the Sept. 28, 1942 issue. An Admiral Leahy was on the cover. >> Desiree
