I've received email from a number of you recently telling me our site http://www.geocities.com/~fiannag/ is not found. Actually what is happening is that Geocities is having trouble with the "vanity" name URL database, as they did on 3/2/98. So here's the "old style" url http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Olympus/8772/ and the "STATUS page for Geocities http://www.geocities.com/members/info/system_status.html After this, you should check the status page if you can't get to our "house" It SHOULD tell why and maybe even when things will be fixed. :) Peace. chirho Anne Boyes boyes@gardener.com http://www.geocities.com/~hoseahouse/genealogy/

The following are excerpts from his proclamation: "...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 brought with them a love of words that enriched American journalism and literature...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. 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."

Welcome aboard Myrt!) ****** March 4, 1998, Orem, Utah - DearMYRTLE, the pen name for one of America's most popular online genealogy experts, is bringing her considerable knowledge and unique style to the new chat rooms and forums at Ancestry.com, the World Wide Web's most popular site for genealogists (www.ancestry.com). DearMYRTLE is best known as the likable host in the Genealogy Forum of America Online where she provides research tips and encouragement to more than 80,000 daily visitors. Recently she has also been a regular front page columnist for Ancestry.com where she also authors a series of genealogy lessons to help people discover their roots. "After Alex Haley and Roots, DearMYRTLE may well be the name more people associate with genealogical research than any other," said Paul B. Allen, Ancestry's CEO. "We have been extremely fortunate to have her as a contributor on our site. Now we have the opportunity to utilize the skills she developed as a host for the genealogy chat rooms and forums on America Online to help our site become more inviting and friendly. We're obviously very pleased to welcome her to the Ancestry family." In her new role, DearMYRTLE will be responsible for developing chat rooms and forum discussion topics and managing the work of forum moderators and chat room hosts and guests. She will also act as a consultant to senior Ancestry management on future community building initiatives and will increase the frequency of her Ancestry column from twice weekly to daily. Despite the expansion of her role at Ancestry.com, DearMYRTLE will also continue to maintain her presence in the America Online Genealogy Forum. "I love helping people find people!" said DearMYRTLE. "I view the new chat rooms and forums at Ancestry.com as an extension of my work at America Online, only for a much larger potential audience. The opportunity to help even more people discover their roots is one of the most exciting and satisfying elements of this new position." According to DearMYRTLE, Ancestry.com is already looking for 50 volunteer hosts as well as featured presenters for scheduled chat sessions. "We plan to bring genealogy's most popular authors, research experts and vendors into our chat sessions to give the best possible guidance to our visitors. Our goal is to address every conceivable genealogy roadblock hindering people from making connections to their ancestors," she added. About DearMYRTLE DearMYRTLE started her online genealogy career in late 1984 when she began experimenting with Genie and CompuServe. In 1985, she became a regular contributor to "Your Family Tree" the genealogy forum on Q-Link (a forerunner of America Online.) As assistant genealogy forum leader for Q-Link, she contributed to its growth from one to four weekly online chats/classes. Later Apple-Link and PC-Link consolidated to form America Online at which time the AOL Genealogy Forum was created. At AOL she serves as a senior staff member and as the most visible of the more than 150 hosts/specialists who assist in the Genealogy Forum. DearMYRTLE received her initial genealogy training at the Washington D.C. Temple LDS Family History Center, and has completed extensive research at the Library of Congress and National Archives. She is the author of numerous articles for print and electronic media, lectures at local and national genealogical conferences, and teaches computer classes at her local community college. In addition to her various online responsibilities, she volunteers weekly at the LDS Family History Center near her home in Bradenton, Florida. =============================================== An Ancestry Classic - The Source - Now on Sale!

Hello everyone! Our front page has now had over 1600 hits, 1200 since we opened the site to the public in December! Several people have submitted material for "casual" pages and _The Guide to Irish Research_ continues to receive constant small updates as well as major ones with each class! Tell your friends! And while you're at it, tell folks about the surname pages for Irish names, too! Do we have YOUR names? :) http://www.geocities.com/~fiannag/ when's the last time YOU looked it over? It IS yours, you know! I'm just the coding secretary for the bunch :) For all those who are planning to get to/back to VU courses, the enrollments for the next one start March 9, 1998 on the VU site ( http://www.vu.org ). Remember there is a small fee now ($10 to take any courses and $5 per course (US) making it $15 to take the genealogy course and an additional $5.00 for each other course you take during the same term....) The next course will be starting April 12, 1998. This present course was called PRACTICAL INTERNET GENEALOGY and was predominantly review for those of us who have taken courses there before. The next course, INTERMEDIATE Practical Internet Genealogy will also be pretty easy for us. And then will come ADVANCED Pratical Internet Genealogy. (That IS "pig, ipig, and apig!" ;) lots of jokes on that, hehehe.) True to her word, Marthe is finding and including some added material in each course and making it interesting for all, and of course we ARE working on the Guide in each one. PLEASE, If you're even half-way planning to take the next VU course, go to http://www.geocities.com/~fiannag/signup.html and sign up with Fianna NOW! so we can get organized BEFORE the term starts and get down to work a lot sooner! (Including helping newbies with IRC earlier on :) . Then, whether you actually sign up at VU or not, we'll be hoping to see you and share with you more! :) We've had some "fellow travelers" this time, Fianna-folk not taking the course but sharing with the study group, and it has been wonderfully enriching! :) Peace. chirho Anne Boyes boyes@gardener.com http://www.geocities.com/~hoseahouse/genealogy/

Hello. I'm a new subscriber in Canada. I am trying to find my Irish relations roots. I have searched other families lines in one province, state, or country only to find out years later that my info was correct but they had moved, prior to and were originally from somewhere else, or moved after and no relatives remained in that area. I am trying to cover all the bases. Here goes. McMAHON- James and wife from Ireland immigrated to Canada James had a son William born in Montreal soon after arrival. William born 1827. William's mother died soon afterwards. An Aunt, believe sister to mother took William back to Ireland.James MCMAHON stayed in Montreal, remarried had at least 7 children and lost contact with William back in Ireland. William MCMAHONb.1827, md. Mary BROWNE 23 Oct 1846 Kinawley, Fermanagh, Ireland. Mary was from 5 mile town or Kinawley. Md. Trinity Church by it looks like Archibald Crawford minister. William was a bachelor, 19 at the time, a farmer, residence starts with Aughal---, father James McMahon,farmerand Mary Browne, 19, Spinister, residence Dromeb----, Father John BROWNE,farmer. United Church of Ireland The McMahon's in Canada married the Ross's from, at one time, Fermanagh I Believe the Ross family were in Ireland at the turn of the century (1800's) David ROSS and Ellen or Elle, had at least two children. A son born in 1860, I can't seem to find his name at the minute. Then my Great Grandfather William ROSS born 2 March 1862. I believe there is possibly records in Enniskillen. David had 3 wives, and children by all 3 wives. David Sr. had David (jr) by his 3rd wife. William's brother David, (David's son David) was known by Uncle David to all of us. His wife's name was Tilley. They had a son with a wife or sister named Linda. I believe they had a son Victor ROSS. Before Uncle David and Aunt Tilley ROSS died the address was something like Mullnahinshago, Knockraven, Enniskillen, Fermanagh, N. Ireland. I have seen pictures of the Thatched roof, white stucco home with adjoining barn. That is where all of David Ross's children were born including my Great-Grandfather. The picture was taken in 1969. Unfortuneately as the great aunts and uncles and my own Grandparents passed away contact was lost. The 'Black Thorn" hedges surrounding the home was the source of my Great Grandfather's two walking sticks. (I hate to admit I can't spell shaleighy???) My Grandparents other connection with Ireland was through ROGERS/McDOWELL. William Rogers and Margaret McDowell were of Scottish descent. William ROGERS was a tenant farmer They had a child abt 1830, Then I believe a son James about 1832, Alexander was born 1834 Emyvale, Monaghan, Ireland, John was born 1835/6 in Ireland or Canada. Two sisters were younger than John Ellen, and Elizabeth. They may have been born in Ireland or in Canada. The ROGERS and the William ROSS both had to leave Ireland because of 'problems' with the English land lord or overseer. Some of the stories are quite colourful, but tragic, and heartbreaking. William knew he would never see his mother and father ever again. As did William and Margaret ROGERS but the cruelty that awaited them if they did not flee was what sent them in great haste to the nearest port and first ship out. My Grandpa Ross came over on a Cattle boat. Possibly with a cousin. He left ironically on March 17. He was able to get the position of cook's helper in the ship's mess. If he worked hard and kept out of the way then he could eat what was left over. My Grandfather had never seen so much food in all of his young life. The Ross's always invited others over to visit and eat meals with them. No visitor was allowed to leave with out being well fed. The times were tough in the 20's and 30's on the prairies, but Grandpa had lived and seen worse. I appreciate your patience. Maybe there are some, McMahon, Ross, Browne, Rogers relations in Tyrone or someone who may know if there are some anywhere else in Ireland or elsewhere. Sincerely, Joy Irene

I'm researching my surname McCorrister. It has been spelt Machorister, MacChorrister and for the past 100 years as McCorrister. I am a descendent of a Hudson's Bay employee at York Factory in the 1700's. I am a member of the Manitoba Geneology Society. I read everything in the society's library , the main library and the net. I am posting this in the hopes someone can tell me if my family came from Scotland or Ireland and what(if any) clan I would belong to. Please email Doug McCorrister at bluestar@escape.ca Thank you

THE REALITY OF LIFE "God created the mule, and told him, 'you will be Mule, working constantly from dusk to dawn, carrying heavy loads on your back. You will eat grass and you lack intelligence. You will live for 50 years' The mule answered: 'To live like this for 50 years is too much. Please, give me no more than 20.' And it was so. Then God created the dog, and told him, 'you will hold vigiliance over the dwellings of Man, to whom you will be his greatest companion. You will eat his table scraps and live for 25 years' And the dog responded, 'Lord, to live 25 years as a dog is too much. Please, no more than 10 years.' And it was so. God then created the monkey, and told him, 'You are Monkey. you shall swing from tree to tree, acting like an idiot. You will be funny, and you shall live for 20 years.' And the monkey responded, 'Lord, to live 20 years as the clown of the world is too much. Please, Lord, give me no more than 10 years.' And it was so. Finally, God created Man and told him, 'You are Man, the only rational being that walks the earth. You will use your intelligence to have mastery over the creatures of the world. You will dominate the earth and live for 20 years.'And the man responded, 'Lord, to be Man for only 20 years is too little. Please, Lord, give me the 20 years the mule refused, the 15 years the dog refused, and the ten years the monkey rejected.' And it was so. And so God made Man to live 20 years as a man, then marry and live 20 years like a mule working and carrying heavy loads on his back. Then, he is to have children and live 15 years as a dog, guarding his house and eating the leftovers after they empty the pantry; then, in his old age, to live 10 years as a monkey, acting like a clown to amuse his grandchildren."

David asked about passenger lists from Ireland during the Famine years: >Hello All, > >I have traced one Irish line back a relative born in Bern >Ireland in 1833, he boarded the Julia-Heyn in 1850 for NYC. What are the >chances, or how would I go about, locating either birth records, census >records, or a more detailed ship record for the Julia-Heyn? > >Thank you. > >Dave Case, David, As you probably know there is an index of most of the immigrants entering the country at the National Archives, but there is no National Archives index for immigrants entering New York during the latter third of the 19th century. But Dr. Ira Glazier of Temple University has published a compilation of Irish Immigrant records from 1846 to 1851. It should be available at major academic libraries. He is also completing a study of Irish immigrants from the 1870's to the 1880's. He has also published studies on immigrants from Germany and Italy. There are plans to make some of his research available in the future on the National Archives site, but those plans are still pending. Here is the citation for the records from 1846 to 1851: TITLE The Famine immigrants : lists of Irish immigrants arriving at the port of New York, 1846-1851 / Ira A.

Hello All, I have traced one Irish line back a relative born in Bern Ireland in 1833, he boarded the Julia-Heyn in 1850 for NYC. What are the chances, or how would I go about, locating either birth records, census records, or a more detailed ship record for the Julia-Heyn? Thank you. Dave Case

Well, the comments that came in quickly were all concerned about having their profile material removed. Several suggested adding another directory. At this point, the site has been visited by a leprechaun who moved a lot of things around, revised several pages, and pulled the profile stuff out for good. So, please stop by and enjoy! The profiles page is gone for good. There no longer is a private area on the site. Peace. chirho Anne Boyes boyes@gardener.com http://www.geocities.com/~hoseahouse/genealogy/

Hi guys, Remember the weekly Fianna meeting at IIGs tomorrow night. We will as usual meet in #Fian at 10:00 EST, 9:00 CST etc.... If anyone still needs help or IRC information, please contact me b.roorda@msc.net Or Flipper far@abercrombie.polaristel.net Bye for Now Gail aka possum

Anne: I am all for dissemination of research to increase the sum total of knowledge, etc. And it sounds like you are having an awful hassle (and expense) to keep people away from the private pages. Maybe people who want to put up private info could form an e-mail group, but I for one am happy for my research results to be placed within reach of anyone interested. Irish research is difficult enough without building one more barrier. Thems are my thoughts.

In spite of the warnings in >> every notice about the private area being PRIVATE and to not post anything >> about it on the web Hi chiro, As I have said before, Keep together! So if things get too bad, I can give my Puter to my Gen. Society and go back to gardening. I'm 71. so maybe I can hang in for another 30 yrs. without too much hassle! ;-> I'm sure we have enough talent in Fianna to overcome these little annoyances. I for one, appreciate your effort, and all the other who help us "not so talented" get thru the hurdles. I'll bet some of those who show on the next Sunday "Chat" will expound on this subject. Hey "Fin", saw you site the other day. - Great - Need to upgrade mine! Time to call my "Knowledgable Son" for a session of learnin'. Got to stop surfing for a bit and do some genealogy. :-) Slainte, Hugh.
