    1. NOTE:

    3. From Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter: - The Irish in America: Long Journey Home An historic new film will have its world premiere on PBS in the United States soon. "The Irish in America: Long Journey Home" is billed as an epic six-hour television and video event from Academy Award winning filmmaker Thomas Lennon in association with WGBH Television in Boston. This film chronicles the role the Irish have played in shaping America. It makes its world premiere on PBS over three nights: January 26-28, 1998. The film reportedly spans the 100-year journey from the potato famine to the White House, tracing the fascinating struggles and successes of the millions of immigrants who left their beloved Ireland and arrived on the shores of America. The film includes music from some of today's biggest Irish talents, including Elvis Costello, Sinead O'Connor, Van Morrison, The Chieftains with Paddy Moloney (who also serves as the film's executive music producer) and more. Quoting from the press release: "More than two years in the making, the film weaves stories of families, workers, churches, athletes, entertainers, and many more into a compelling portrait of Irish achievement. Its detailed historic tapestry is painted through powerful Irish music and authentic folk rhythms, rare black-and-white photos and film footage, drawings, and interviews with Irish- Americans who provide the film's narrative voices. Spanning six hours, the PBS special (airing 1/26-28) and Deluxe Collector's Video Set (available 1/27) is packed with dramatic stories and images that will have significance for all Americans, including the 40 million of Irish descent, and every American whose ancestors were immigrants to this country." Enjoy! I will! Joanie

    1. LAIDLIE,LADLIE,LADLEY,LAIDLEY,LADLY Surname
    2. Phil Ladlie
    3. The Ladlie name dates back to the 1500 in Northumberland ENG and Scotland as listed in the family history centers. My ggrandfather Andrew Ladlie & his brother John came to the USA in 1845 both were born in Ireland. None of the record we have show the location in Ireland where they lived so we are searching forward from England and Scotland . If anyone has information on this surname it would be deeply apreciated thanks PHIL
