I think last week I saw where someone had access to the Irish phone directory and did a look-up. If that person is willing to do another look-up, I'd appreciate it. Are there any HEENANS listed for the city of Tuam in Co. Galway? If there are only a very few, I'd appreciate all of the names and addresses. However, if there are several, I don't want to make an unreasonable request. In that case, if you could give me info on any Heenans with a first name of Willliam or Patrick Joseph, or any with an address of Barroch Street, I'd appreciate it. My great-uncle William Heenan lived on Barroch Street. He was still there in the 1950s as I have an old letter from him. He's long dead by now, but one of his sons might have taken the house, or they might still be in Tuam but at a different address. Thanks a lot. Mary Ann Heinsz Maheinsz@AOL.com

Hi- Would anyone know if records were kept (early 1800s) by SCT and IRL concerning sailings between the two countries? (I can't really tell from my maps just how long the journey would have been, nor what types of vessels would have been required.) Any info appreciated! Thanks, Tracie

Dianne,i have no connection with this name but a dear friend and now dead spent all of his life researching the name he was a solicitor Kelvin Eaton and he spent many years overseas looking and finding the origins etc,he had a massive libary of information on this name,when he died he donated all of it to the Hurstville Libary in Sydney Their address is the Civic Centre and the post code is 2220,Kelvin was probably the authority on the Eaton name ,he was a solicitor.

Forwarded - looking for generous folk :) GENUKI is also looking for folks to help with their county pages. Some of you devoted folks out there might kill two birds with one stone! Do a great page on the county of your choice and let it link to both GenTree and GENUKI, and also work on the Genuki formatted page for your county. Now there's a wondrous project!! :) :) I'm willing to give HTML help and consolation to any "adoptive parents" - web pages become quite easy once you begin to get the hang of it :) BUT - please reply directly to Maura to volunteer, and/or to Brian Randall for GENUKI to volunteer there. They are listed as cc:'s on this email. Peace.

Hi...my sister lives in Killarney and we have visited this wonderful town in Ireland many times. There is a castle there that I know of , this is called Ross Castle...I believe it was sacked by Cromwell and/or his men. CP Williams

ps - Jim in subsequent years when I ended up running the hotel - a man from Killarney in Ireland came in and I couldn't understand a bl..dy word he said. His daughter had been out here in Australia for about 5 years and she couldn't understand him either!!

Dear Jim i live in Killarney in Victoria in Australia. This area has been serviced by a hotel that was originally built in the 1850;s and was little more than an Inn. some years ago a couple bought the hotel and had plans drawn up to make a great big Killarney Castle. They were going to have helicopters fly in and tourists everywhere........it was of great amusment to the 100 odd locals who were surrounded in acres of Potatoes and crops. Now I know this is not the Killarney Castle that you are seeking - but I had to have a chuckle when i read this. seriously - I would look at Killarney in Ireland. in all the years I as doing my research on my elusive Sheedy family - my mother neglected to tell me that the property we lived on was called Birdhill. When she finally did after about 8 years and 8 years of NEVER locating anything relevant on Old Pat - I laughed - and thought it was because of the seagulls [we live near a beach]. Two years later I learnt the painful lesson of paying attention to clues when I finally located the birth record of my Pat at - yes - Bird Hill in Ireland!!
