Hello. I am looking for information on the following surname, spelling variations. Thank you: Heffron Heffernon Heffernan Heffnan Thanks again. Until next time...

Hi All! I'm looking for info. on Peter CURLEY from County Kerry according to oral history. He came to the U.S. c1861 with his wife (unknown name who gave birth to Catherine on the trip from Ireland, then died), and daughter Mary about age 9. They settled in the town of Franklin, Warren county, Ohio. I need to find the town they were from. Family says they were from Killarney, but I've been unable to document this. All of Catherine's decendants are gone so I have no way of checking except for documentation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Lynn Parker mayo@glasscity.net

Okay, here goes mine! Johnston ROBINSON b 1879 d 1953 married Elizabeth WATT b 1880 d 1945. Married 1905 in Belfast. Emigrated from Belfast to NYC in 1920 (Johnston and son) and 1922 (Elizabeth and daughters). Children: Margaret b 1909, Anna b 1910, Johnston b 1913 and Mary b 1917. This is the only section of the family known to have left Belfast, so surely I have cousins there. Frank and Anna DARLINGTON emigrated from Dublin to NYC in 1912 (on the Lusitania) with their children: Anna Mary b 1898, Helen b 1902, Michael and James. Also Patrick HUGHES and his brother (from Anna's first marriage to Patrick HUGHES). Any recognition of these families? Mary Kleindienst maryrk@aol.com

I have ordered the films "Registers of Vessels arriving at the port of NY 1789-1919. which should be arriving anyday now.. My question is... Which port of departure would immigrants from Dublin be most likley to use in 1881 and in 1889?? I would like to make to the best use of my time, naturally.. Anybody have any ideas?? Thanks Trish

It would be such a help if folks who ask for help would remember to include their addy in their sig! I use Eudora, which does NOT store the header with the message. That means that I must pause after saving to copy your addy, open the saved message, add the addy, resave. Takes 37 seconds on a good day. Keeps me from holding things on file I might answer later! Tends to make me ignore questions where I have to go find the answer later...and I think this applies to many other folks as well. Such a small thing, but such a helpful one from folks who'd like me (or someone else) to take the time to write up an answer for them or watch for their kinfolk! or send them a nifty URL, etc. Please, if you must answer this, do so off list. Peace. chirho Anne Boyes chirho@prodigy.net

By Sunday morning EST, March 22, 1998 there will be a new area in the Hideaway, which has a guide to really getting some back ground on Irish names and where they might be found, as well as some history of names, etc. and a few valuable links. Also take a good hard look at the Guide, it really tells in detail, and with addresses, links, etc., how to research your ancestor. Since you have a manifest and believe it't the right one, we assume you've already done all your USA research. :) And you might also check at the bottom of the FAQ/Find page for the email lists you could join to ask a yet wider audience :) Hideaway http://www.geocities.com/~fiannag/ NO ads!

Hi everybody, I have been meaning to send in this site for some time. InGeneas http://www.ingeneas.com/ Warning: This is a commercial site like Lineages, etc. However, you can search the records for free. You are only charged if you find a record you want a coypy of. InGeneas has both an immigration and passenger list database. You can use the symbol % as a wildcard. I thought it was possible that my Houlihans (Houlahans, Houlins teehee) came in through Canada. The wildcard feature came in really handy because I could search on Houl%han. Also they have a list of other possible spellings of surnames. For instance for Houlahan: Hoolihan, Hoolehan, Hulohan, Hoolahan, Hanarahan, Houragan, Houlihan, Hoohilahan, Holahen, Holohan, Hollohan, Hourihan. I did find a Michael HOULAHAN, but the date was 1825 (far too early). I haven't searched on the all the alternate spellings yet. Another really neat feature is they do have a free data base. The misc. immigrant card index at The National Archives of Canada is databased here through an agreement with the national archives. I don't think that the card index includes a very substnatial number of immigrants, but who knows some of you Canadians might strike it lucky. Bye for Now, Gail aka possum

1. Examine the software packaging until you find a little printed box that explains what kind of computer system you need to run the software. It should look something like this: SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 2386 PROCESSOR OR HIGHER 628.8 MEGAHERTZ MODEM 719.7 MB FREE DISK SPACE 3546 MB RAM 432323 MB ROM 05948737 MB RPM ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM 2 TURTLE DOVES NOTE: This software will not work on your computer. 2. Open the software packaging and remove the manual. This will contain detailed instructions on installing, operating, and troubleshooting the software. Throw it away. 3. Find the actual software, which should be in the form of either a 3.5-inch floppy diskette or a CD-ROM, located inside a sealed envelope that says: LICENSING AGREEMENT: By breaking this seal, the user hereinafter agrees to abide by all the terms and conditions of the following agreement that nobody ever reads, as well as the Geneva Convention and the U.N.

Hand the software to a child aged 3 through 12 and say, "(Name of child), please install this on my computer." 5. If you have no child age 3 through 12, insert the software in the appropriate drive, type "SETUP" and press the Enter key. 6. Turn the computer on, you idiot. 7. Once again type "SETUP" and press the Enter key. 8. You will hear grinding and whirring noises for a while, after which the following message should appear on your screen: The Installation Program will now examine your system to see what would be the best way to render it inoperable. Is it OK with you? Choose one, and be honest: +-------+ +--------+ | YES | |SURE| +-------+ +--------+ 9. After you make your selection, you will hear grinding and whirring for a very long time while the installation program does who knows what in there. Some installation programs can actually alter molecular structures, so that when they're done, your computer has been transformed into an entirely new device, such as a food processor. At the very least, the installation program will create many new directories, sub-directories, sub-sub-directories, on your hard drive and fill them with thousands of mysterious files with names like "puree.exe," "fester.dat," and "doo.wha." 10. When the installation program is finished, your screen should display the following message: CONGRATULATIONS The installation program cannot think of anything else to do to your computer and has grown bored. You may now attempt to run your software. If you experience any problems, electrical shocks, insomnia, shortness of breath, nasal discharge, or intestinal parasites, you should immediately proceed to restart your computer 11. At this point your computer system should become less functional than the federal government, refusing to respond even when struck with furniture. 12. Call the toll-free Technical Support Hotline number listed on the package and wait on the line for a representative, who will explain to you, in a clear, step-by-step manner, how to adopt a child aged 3 through 12.
