I have just been hunting for over an hour. I thought I had a web site for Ireland maps. The best I found was a map of Northern Ireland showing Belfast. I have been trying to find a map of Fermanagh that would show Five-mile-town, Derrylin, Lisaskea, and Enniskillen. When none of the maps I tried would show Enniskillen, I knew I had a problem. Is there somewhere I can get a plain old map of Fermanagh? I found geological, census, cemetary, tourist maps or N. Ireland showing Belfast, but nothing else. I seemed to end up going in circles. I tried several Yahoo, Excite, etc. I found meticulously detail U.S. maps but only extremely poor United Kingdom maps. (Oh I did find one detailed map of Derby, or Derbyshire. But when I put in Ireland, or Northern Ireland. No matches. Nothing found. I realize I must be extremely thick to have so many problems but is there a good web site for Irish Maps. Road maps, county maps, city maps? Anything? Sincere Thanks, Joy Irene

Thanks so much for responding. I only received one reply about the Ross's and 2 for the McMahons, I for the Rogers, and 1 for the McDowell's, zero for the Browne's from Kinawley in Fermanagh. The last known address I had was Mr. and Mrs. David Ross Mullnahinshago, Knockaraven P.O. Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh, N. Ireland From a letter March 12 1972 from Uncle David and Aunt Tillie says sorry for not writing as a nephew hit with a car and was unconscious for 11 days without gaining back to speak toany of us till he died, and we were down every day at hospital seeing him, his mother was a sister of mine. (I think Tillie, but possibly to David) I am sending on the blackthorn stick this week. I have if quite a while but with strikes and all the trouble we wer afraid to send it ...The times are very bad and I am afraid it will get worse before it gets better. As for your Grandparents they are all dead. William ROSS was a brother to David. David did not know your mother's name before she got married, but is to find out from the people in Five-mile-town, and let you know. (William was David Ross Sr. Son by his first wife. David Jr. was a son to David Sr. by his 3rd wife. David born in 1862, David in 1890's I believe.) David and I took very bad cold and I was 3 weeks in bed. Well Dear, some of the trouble is not too far of us here for we live close to the border and can hear some of the boms and the shooting going on when we are in bed. Let me know if your wife would like something form Ireland. So now I will draw to a close hoping to hear from you soon. Love form David and Tillie Ross (Victor will write got your letter...) Everything is so dear, 1 lb butter 6 shillings, 1 lb tea is 7 shillings, 2 loaves 4 shillings. I forgot to tell you that we have no phone as we have got no elictricity in the house and I would like to have it only it cost to much.....Best of love (exerpts from 1972 letter) Later Knockaraven P.O. Enniskillen 18 9 74 Dear Mrs Ross We have advised David and Mrs. Ross on the day of receipt of your letter of your concern for a reply. As that was a week or so ago, you will have by now received a reply. It seems they had not written since before Christmas, but I think they are keeping fairly well. You are no doubt living in a rather more settled part of the world than we here in Northern Ireland. Thanking you for dollar. Yours faithfully, Joseph Hall I assume the Post Master. Having lost contact in early eighties Dear Percy and Ruby (Ross) Hope you wil be able to make out this address O.K. Aunt Tiulley and Uncle David Ross Mullnahinachago Knockraven P.O......the rest is the same as above. If I get a letter later I wil send it on to you. Bye for now, Love form Henry (My grandfather Henry Eaton, marrried to Eva May Ross William Ross's daughter born 1896. A letter to me in 8 / 8/ 80 Derrylin Parish Enniskillen Co. Fermanagh 8/8/80 Dear Ms. Eaton I am sorry for taking so long to answer your letter. But I am at present trying to run two parishes which leaves me very little free time, I have jotted down a few Baptismal enteries on the back of your letter also enclosed a list of names on the Ross Headstone. Victor Ross a member of your family still lives at Mullnahinshago. You might like to contact him the address is the same as you have on your letter. yours Sincerely, C. M------- Ian, I apologise in advance as I cannot decipher most of what was written, Paper being typed on one side, written on the other, abbreviation etc. Here goes, You mention Carragole, I think that answers one of the words I couldn't make out. Born Oct 1853 Sarah Ann Ross of Corrz (Poss Carragole abbreviated) Fermanagh, Parent William and Eliza(poss Elizabeth Born 15 August 1857 Robert of Corr---poss Carragole Parents William and Eliza Born 15 Oct 1857 William of same poss Carragole parents William and Elizabeth Born 1859 George of Carragole parents John and Anne Born 1860 March 19 Edward of Mullnachigo)Mullnahinshago? Parents David and Hellen Born 1861 Mary of Corragole? Parents John and Jane **Born 1862 (we know March 2nd) William of Mullinchago parents David and Ellie Born 1865 Alexander of Corragole? Parents William and Eliza (I found again on LDS IGI) No date of birth Anne of Corragole? parents William and Eliza You say your family came from Corragole, Knockninney to the North of Derrylin so please let me know if William and Eliza/Elizabeth, or John and Anne are your family. I hope this helps. I wonder if there are any Ross's in the phone book in Derrylin, or Enniskillen. I wonder if there is still and Knockraven Post master. If I could find an obit for David and or Tilley it might lead me to a relation that might have suggestions. I wonder if a newspaper advert in Five-Mile-Town paper might find Helen, Ellen, Ellie married to David Ross of Mullnahinshago with at least two sons Edward born March 19 1860 and later William March 2 1862 would have any relations that might recognise the names and know where I might find her maiden name or names of either David Sr parents, or Ellie's relations. Just a thought, Please reply. Yes I live in Saskatchewan. Where do you live? Sincerely, JOY IRENE all these years I've been trying to find a Corry, Corrg in Ireland

Hi, I am getting a lot more mail than that! Tell you what, starting Sunday, I will count the e-mail generated on Fianna for a week, here at my addy. Anne, you should get this message twice, as the mail you sent is from one of your other accounts, gardner.com is the one you get your subscription through. Are you checking all of your accounts? And for some reason tex^mom, until yesterday, your addy was not on Fianna, like it dropped off the face of the earth. I fixed that! I have 7 pages of addys subscribed to our little Irish researching group. Any corrections in addys and I will gladly fix.

But millions of Irish >>immigrants who came to the United States in the 19th century were >>fleeing not only persecution, but also the specter of starvation and >>disease brought on by the Great Hunger, the devastating potato famine >>that began in the 1840s. Many of them did not survive the journey; >>many of those who did arrive at America's ports were hungry, ill, and >>crushingly poor. >> >> But the Irish did not come to America empty-handed. They brought >>with them strong arms and an even stronger spirit that would help to >>build our Nation's great canals, bridges, and railroads. They would >>wrest coal from the mines of Pennsylvania and raise the skyscrapers of >>New York. They brought with them a love of words that enriched >>American journalism and literature and produced writers such as John >>Boyle O'Reilly, Ring Lardner, Eugene O'Neill, and Mary McCarthy. They >>brought as well a great reverence for education and created schools, >>colleges, and universities across the country renowned for their >>scholarship and social conscience. >> >> Perhaps their greatest gifts to America have been a abiding love of >>liberty, and an patriotic spirit. Irish Americans have served with >>distinction in every American conflict, from the Revolutionary War to >>the Persian Gulf, and their keen sense of social justice made them >>among the first and most effective voices for labor reform. From Mary >>Kenney O'Sullivan to George Meany, they have been in the vanguard of >>efforts to improve working conditions and wages for all Americans. >>Generations of Irish Americans entered public service to reach out to >>those in need -- to feed the poor, find jobs for the unemployed, fight >>for racial equality, and champion social reform. From the Kennedys of >>Massachusetts to the Daleys of Chicago, from Governor Al Smith to >>Ambassador Mike Mansfield, Americans of Irish descent have made >>important and enduring contributions to the public life of our Nation. >> >> The United States continues to draw strength and vision from our >>multicultural, multiracial society. This month, when citizens across >>the country celebrate Saint Patrick's Day, we remember with special >>gratitude the gifts of Irish Americans: faith in God, love of family >>and community, and an unswerving commitment to freedom and justice that >>continues to enrich our Nation and fulfill the promise envisioned by >>the first Irish immigrants who turned their eyes and hearts toward >>America so many years ago. >> >> NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United >>States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the >>Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March >>1998 as Irish-American Heritage Month.
