GRO will accept personal cheques/bank drafts, International Money Orders and Irish Postal Orders denominated in € Euro drawn on a branch of a bank located in the Republic of Ireland and be acceptable for clearance through the Irish cheque clearing system. Since the changeover to the Euro€ in January 2002 and now with the introduction of a credit card facility, the historical reasons for the practice in this office of accepting payments in £Sterling and U.S.dollars (i.e. the difficulty and expense of obtaining cheques denominated in Irish punts in the U.K., the U.S.A. and elsewhere) no longer prevail. From the 8th October 2002 GRO will accept credit/debit card payments in the following manner: In person at our public counters on the 1st floor of our office in Joyce House. By post to General Register Office, Joyce House, 8/11 Lombard Street, Dublin 2. By fax @ +353-1-6354527. Online applications will not be possible until they have an appropriately secure online facility (They hope to introduce this facility sometime in 2003). GRO will accept Mastercard and Visa credit cards. It should be noted that applications where payment is by credit card will not be expedited or treated any differently from applications using other payment methods. (Note: I do not see any indication that there will be an additional charge for using a credit card.) New application forms (which contain a provision for the inclusion of credit card details) for Birth/Death/Marriage Certificates, designed for the ongoing computerisation/modernisation programme will be posted on the Apply for a Cert page of this website [http://www.groireland.ie/fees.htm] These forms can be downloaded and then submitted to this office by post or fax. A photocopy of an entry will contain the same details as a certificate but is not suitable for administrative matters. However, it is ideal for genealogical purposes. The Euro is about a $1.10 but they do not accept USDollar checks anymore. Ellen "Lorraine Conroy" <timlorr@warwick.net> wrote: >Does anyone know what this equals in in our currency E6.98 ?

Go raibh maith agat for all that have sent some very helpful suggestions regarding Boston passenger ship lists and other ways to track when my Grandmother Katherine Flanagan arrived in the Boston. Also it was suggested to look at the census for 1910 and that should tell how long she had been in the U.S. Since she went to Ireland in 1952 thought it would be helpful to see her information on her passport application. Received the following information from Joe: The National Archives has passport applications from Oct 1795 to March 1925. After that you would have to contact the Department of State. For info on optaining passport applications from them see... http://travel.state.gov/passport_records.html Slan go foill, Margaret (Mairead) Have decided to try another method of finding when my Grandmother Katherine Flanagan arrived in Boston. When she went back to Ireland in 1952 the story was that she hadn't been home in 50 years. Have since found out that it was unlikely that she arrived in 1902 but it could actually be anywhere from 1902-1907, more likely the earlier dates. I have looked at the Index through 1906 and haven't been able to find her. Does anybody know if I can get a record of her passport request in 1952? Possibly this will help narrow down the date of her arrival in Boston. Go raibh maith agat. Slan go foill, Margaret (Mairead)

Thought I would post the following exciting family news! Recently received some exciting news about my cousin Tony McLaughlin of Ballyhillion, Malin Head, County Donegal.( Ireland's most northern townland.) He has just been hired as the new manager of the Innishowen Peninsula Board. Tony's grandmother Ellen Doherty McLaughlin (born 1872) was my Grandmother Catherine Doherty Smith's (born 1870) sister. Cousin Tony McLaughlin of Ballyhillion, Malin Head, County Donegal has made the news! The following article appeared in the Derry Journal's online issue. The Derry Journal is Ireland's second oldest newspaper founded in 1772. Tony also writes a weekly article for the Derry Journal - Inishowen News. Tony's the New Face of Local Tourism Mar 28 2003 INISHOWEN TOURISM'S new boss is no stranger to having a bit of craic so it seems apt he should head the body which promotes all that is fun in the peninsula to visitors from home and abroad. As Tony McLaughlin settles into his new role at the helm of the society, he realises there's "much work" to do, but he hopes his experience of the hospitality industry and knowledge of the area will prove fruitful in the drive to bring tourists to the peninsula. Speaking to the 'Journal' this week, the Malin Head man sits back in his office chair at Chapel Street, Carndonagh and declares he's "very much looking forward to the challenge" of drawing tourists from far and wide. But he seems under no illusion that the staple of Inishowen's tourism industry is visitors from Northern Ireland. And Tony is especially aware that, due to the success of the new Foyle Ferry service which alone brought in more 220,000 visitors last year, there is ample scope to market the peninsula's breathtaking scenery in tandem with the more familiar tourist attractions of the Causeway Coast. "I feel I'm very familiar with tourism activities on both sides of the border having spent most of my managerial life working in border areas. In particular I'm familiar with the industry on both sides of Lough Foyle - I even know the middle of the Foyle well, where I fished oysters," he quipped. "And as for Inishowen there's hardly a nook or cranny that I don't know in some form or description," he added. Accompanied by Joint Treasurer Peter McAvenue, Tony this week outlined the Society's plans to help increase visitors numbers to the area. He explained that in the 20 years of its existence Inishowen Tourism Society Limited had been "very beneficial" for businesses in the area. "Over the years Inishowen Tourism has been quiet about the successful impact it has had on the local industry. Each year it prints between 12,000 and 20,000 promotional brochures for distribution all over the world. But when tourists arrive from various parts of the globe they don't happen to mention that they came because they noticed the peninsula in an Inishowen Tourism brochure," he added. "We have updated the website this year and that version will be up and running by next week. The current site gets around 30 hits a day. It includes a comprehensive list of details including attractions and general places of interest in Inishowen - it has listed every place where rare wildlife may be found from Blanket Nook, and the Foyle and Swilly, to Malin Head." One forthcoming event nurtured by Inishowen Tourism as a major attraction is the O'Doherty clan reunion, scheduled for 2005, and anticipated to draw quite a number of people from countries all over the world. In the short term Inishowen Tourism, in conjunction with Inishowen Community Radio, is in the process of organising a peninsula-wide car treasure hunt for the May 5 Bank Holiday. "Money raised from events such as this as well the efficiency and dedication of our hard working staff, Mary McKinney, Pat McPherson and Anne McGonagle help keep the office in operation," explained Tony. And agreements have been made between the organisation and Limavady Borough Council to cross promote summer festivals on both sides of the Foyle.

In the 1920 census is listed my uncle Andrew Faherty & his wife Margaret, daughter Eleanor, Margaret's mother Margaret Mc Donald & her sister Helen O'Brien, both widows. The entire family lived at 207 Moffat st, Bklyn. The daughter Eleanor was 8 , which brings her to be born in 1912, her g.mother was 60, Helen was 56. Andrew & his wife Margaret were 35 & 34.He worked for what is known today as Keyspan,(Bklyn Union Gas Co). Has anyone out there any knowledge of this family . I met my uncle & aunt about 2x in my life and never knew he had any children Andrew's sister Mary Conroy was my g.mother, and their parents were Michael Flaherty & Nora Ford. Andrew kept the original spelling of their last name. Believe that Andrew died sometime between 1950 & early 1960's anyone that might have infor on them please email me. Did young Eleanor marry and have a family, are there cousins out there? thanks Ed Conroy
Looking for information about Hussey Burg - Chief Baron of Exchequer in late 1700s. Have searched the net and found some information. What I am looking for is his natural son, William Dowdall. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Go raibh maith agat, Margaret (Mairead)
Fianna, a list for general Irish genealogy and some general Irish info, still exists :) Some of us really miss the classes we shared.... And our web site is being updated (finally) as chirho struggles with recovering data from a hard drive crash last fall. If you go to any page on Fianna <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/"> http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/</A> you'll see that some of them have newer dates at the very bottom of the page. That indicates a page that has been recovered and updated. :) PBN has been faithfully coding the surname submissions and chirho is working at getting the surname pages caught up again. Hope this answers questions!
Irish Guards and Royal Irish in action tonight J

NOT GETTING MUCH IF ANY LORRAINE
May there always be work for your hands to do; May your purse always hold a coin or two; May the sun always shine on your windowpane; May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain; May the hand of a friend always be near you; May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
