Sean, Where in Ireland did your McCarthy and Mulcahy people come from? I am researching McCarthy from Broadford, Limerick and am sure 2 came over in the late 1880's. Also your Mulcahy line, is it from Limerick, I am looking for a Mary (Minnie) Mulcahy (and her brother) she came over about 1880-90 and settled in New Jersey. We lost track because her married name is not known. If these connect please get back to me.

Dear List Members, Patrick Neeson married Ann (Nancy) Darragh in Aughterclooney (I think), County Antrim in the early 1800's. If either of these names appear in anybody's research, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks, Frank Neeson, Melbourne, Australia

Hello, I wish to make a request. If anyone has any WW1 photo's of the "Royal Irish Fusiliers", especially those of "other ranks" I would love to have a copy. Firstly for myself as grandfather, William Lowry, was a l/corporal in the 7th battalion of the regiment and was killed in action in France on 26th April 1916. Secondly, to present them to the regimental museum in Armagh. After I paid a research visit to Armagh the lady in charge did say that they would love to have more information on other ranks. So, if anyone would like to send me thier family stories of the Faughs in the world wars I will collate them and present them to the museum, with proper accreditation, off course. Any hard copies of photo's will be returned to the owner. Also required are things like enrollment certificates, postcards, letters from the front. In fact any info at all that can be made up into a story of those who were at the sharp end. Thank for reading this. -- Gordon Lowry -- Gordon Lowry

I'll second that, wrong and incomplete!! Colman Ahern, Berkeley.

Hi, Can someone let me know the l911 census LDS film numbers for the parishes of Templerobin/Clonmel in Cork. This would cover the town of Cobh (Queenstown). Thank you, Colman Ahern, Berkeley.

Searching for info about O'Hallorans from co Galway LAUGHLINs from Co Wicklow CULLONs from Co Wickow Any one else searching for these surnames? Darcy

Yes, ten years ago I used them to find some information about my ggrdfr. in Roscommon.. I send them the necessary funds, and I received word that after the check had cleared they would begin my research. Having received no communique from them, eight months later I sent a strongly-worded letter to them that I was very unhappy with what had been (or not been) going on for 8 months and that I expected to hear from them immediately. Several weeks later, they sent me notification that they had been unable to find any information at all, and that was the end of our dealings. Good luck!

Hello, I am copying this letter from RootsWeb hoping it will help all of us realize what RootsWeb is providing for us. Can you imagine for only $2.00 a month you can be a RootsWeb sponsor . Sponsor gets: A bigger warm fuzzy because you're contributing something towards bringing new databases and services online. A search of several RootsWeb databases for your surnames, and automatic notification when your surnames are added to the RootsWeb Surname List. $ 24 2 mail lists and 2 boards Sponsor Plus A really nice warm fuzzy about all the genealogical content you're making possible. All Sponsor benefits listed above, plus Web space to be used for genealogical purposes, including GEDCOMs. (Software for assisting you in getting your GEDCOM on line is in the works, but meanwhile, if your genealogy package will generate the HTML pages, we're happy to host them.) $ 50 $ 10 every other month 4 mail lists 4 boards 25 Mb webspace $ 75 $ 15 every other month 6 mail lists 6 boards 50 Mb webspace This is very important and I hope all of you take the time to heed it's message: "When we launched RootsWeb, we assumed that our users would prefer to support us as much as they were able, in exchange for a site open to all, without banners plastered all over everything and without having resources locked up (as is done at other genealogy sites), available only for fees on the order of $60 per year. Instead, people can support RootsWeb for as little as $12 per year. We thus hoped that a reasonable fraction of our users, perhaps half of them, would support us in some way. And because we expected support from the community, we made promises to projects like USGenWeb that we would freely host them for the good of the Internet genealogy community. "We have no intention of reneging on those early promises, but it has been difficult, because the community support we anticipated has not been there. Although people use the site like crazy, fewer than 7% of our users have chipped in to keep things going. The other 93%? Perhaps they're busy, or they're broke, or they won't pay unless they have to, or they don't think RootsWeb is useful. Who knows? But it means that RootsWeb has run at a cash flow loss. In simple terms, Karen Isaacson and Brian Leverich have donated not only their time as system administrators but a substantial part of their personal resources to provide the genealogical community with RootsWeb. The rest of RootsWeb's staff have also made substantial contributions. "Because RootsWeb's costs exceed its income, we can't provide all the genealogical facilities we'd like to support. These could include online searchable databases of pension records, census indexes, vital records, or countless other valuable genealogical services that we could easily provide -- if only we could afford the staff to support them. And, ultimately, RootsWeb can't even continue to exist if we don't bring our costs and revenues into balance, something we want to have under control before the transition to non-profit status (as opposed to losing money status) is completed. "We are doing what we can to remedy the situation. For instance, we are selling banner advertisements where we can. However, this alone will never provide enough revenue to cover the costs of the unbannered volunteer projects which consume most of RootsWeb's resources yet by their very nature produce no direct revenue, even as they provide invaluable content to the genealogical community. "The new communities, from their inception, will be fully supported by advertising. They will be paying their own way. We can shift some of the costs of maintaining the Web, mailing list, GenConnect, and search engine servers onto the new communities, so that the new communities will subsidize a genealogical community that hasn't been supporting itself. "Although we have been disappointed in the amount of financial support of the genealogical community, we would like to express our deep gratitude to the writer of the letter above and the other 7% of our users who have helped make RootsWeb available to the whole community. Without their support and encouragement, there would be no RootsWeb. "If you would like to join the folks who are making RootsWeb possible and thus help us bring new genealogical data online, freely available to all, please visit: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html <http://www.RootsWeb.com/RootsWeb/how-to-subscribe.html> or send e-mail to: [email protected] " Laura [email protected] A Proud RootsWeb sponsor

MY GGGGRANDFATHER THOMAS ARPIN, came to South Africa via London abt.1833-1839 from Cork or Dublin. He was 19yrs old in 1939 and was a Farm Labourer in Caledon in the Cape. He came over as part of a scheme set up by the British Government to aid Destitute children. This society was called "friend's of the children society" and was chaired by Rev.John Phillip and the Secretary was a James Rose- Innes. If anyone has any information on the Arpins or this society, please contact me. Regards Lisette Cousins.

Has anyone used the Heritage Center in Leitrim for research? Good or bad experience? I'm looking for someone (Roger McKeon) on the 1796 Flax Growers list and it's sort of a long shot, so I don't want to spend a lot of money unless there's a chance I can connect to him.. or even eliminate him from the family tree.

If you know townland or parish you can get films from LDS Family History centers. I would still recommend a trip to Ireland because it is fun, but you need to do some research first. Have you tried the East Galway Heritage centre. For a basic $25 fee they do quite well and can tell you if records exist and even find the birth records if it does exist. maggie denver,CO

I am a Carberry descendant and researcher who has gotten to the point of needing a bulletin board to post my findings, which would also help other Carberry descendants search for links among the families and get guidance on good resources for this surname. So, I have set up a Carberry mailing list, which can be reached at http://www.onelist.com/subscribe/Carberry For those subscribing, remember to confirm when prompted and then post queries to [email protected] There may be some advertising but the siteowner does not circulate/sell subscriber names. This is a startup list so it may take a few weeks for much info to appear, since my time to post is limited. I have 5 years' worth of extra information to share, so please join if you have a Carberry in your past. Sharon Carberry
