At present my Irish ancestors seem linked primarily to Dublin, City Centre (there were a few events also in Dublin South) and Maynooth, County Kildare, and Tyrone. My great grandparents (William J. Weekes & Mary Anne Leavy) moved to Waterford for about 5 years and lastly to Limerick for about 9 years before our part of the family came to Philadelphia. I have the events of my great grandparents family and descendents nailed down pretty well (1875 to the present). And I have marriage and baptismal records for the Leavy clan (Michael Leavy & Brigit Gibby) in Maynooth going back to 1849. At present I am trying to flash out my great great grandparents' ( Henry Weekes & Catherine Delany) family in Dublin. My father's mother's family includes folks from Tyrone - Catherine McCusker (b.4May1860) John McCusker (B. 4Mar.1863 ) & Patrick Meenan. Names: WEEKES, DELANY, LEAVY, GIBBY, BYRNE, MCCUSKER, MEENAN, O'DONOGHUE, LYNCH, MCDONNELL, GROARK, MOONEY,TOOHEY, NOLAN, DAVIS, etc. Thanks to all.

This letter from Pat Traynor appeared on another newsletter: "This came from the Cavanet newsletter; Genealogical Help; I had a message last week from a reader who was wondering how to get a genealogical enquiry published in the Anglo Celt. Such letters are a regular feature of the Anglo Celt (this weeks issue has 3). Anyone interested in getting a letter published, should draft a (reasonably short) letter, with the names, locations (townland and/or parish), dates and any other relevant details you know about your ancestors and send it to. The Editor, The Anglo Celt Church Street, Cavan Co Cavan Ireland. Include your email address"

I don't know whether this will be of use to anyone or not. This appeared on another list. However, I do know that some of your ancestors arrived much earlier than my famine immigrants.

This posting is certainly a fabulous gift to the mailing list. Since there are millions of Irish emigrants yo8u might need to do a little leg work to find your family's records. I have found ships passenger lists a wonderful source of information about many members of our family who emigrated from Ireland around the turn of the century. The National Archives (which has regional offices in many cities and central HQ in Wash.D.C.) has indexes of passengers by name entering all ports of the US - except for one glaring omission - entries into the Port of New York during the last third of the 19th century. One index handles entries up to the beginning of the 20th century. The other has entries from about 1890 onwards- they overlap somewhat. They are films of block printed index cards filmed two across on narrow film, so they are not always easy reading. And the transcription is not always accurate. It helps to know some particulars - especially town of last residence in Ireland and possible relatives names to sort through them all. The regional offices also have some microfilms of the actual ships manifests which are filed by port and date. These can be found by using the name index. In Philadelphia I found the films of original manifests for Philadelphia, Baltimore and several souther ports. I spent a few hours tracking down each one because there are often around 500 names on each manifest, but it was worth the effort. Be sure to make a large xerox of the pages of ships manifests that you find because you might find some other interesting names of friend, godparents inlaws, etc. bundled near your known relatives. Good searching! Dennis Dennis Weeks Chairman, Dept. of Fine and Performing Arts

Here is some more information I received on ordering a birth certificate from Co Clare: "Civil registration of births, marriages and deaths began in 1864 in Ireland. If you can use the Family History Library, it is a do-it-yourself project. Use the Index; then order the appropriate microfilm for the certificate. To order a certificate (which you need for dual citizenship) the cost is 5.5 Iriish punts to General Register Office, 8-11 Lombard St., Dublin 2. Other Clare addresses: Clare County Library, Mill Road, Ennis, Co Clare, Ire. Clare Heritage Center (Ignatius Claery), Corofin, Co Clare Clare Archaeological and Historical Society, Sister Francis O'Dwyer, Colaiste Muire, College Road, Ennis, Co Clare"

Today I was deleting email from the old Genuki digest. As I said this morning the Heritage Centers DO tend to be controversial. This is one Genuki subscribers opinion of them. "Subject: IRISH HERITAGE CENTRES To enlighten Lisa and others who may be interested. The Irish Genealogical Centres were set up with the idea of having all computerized databased records of church records availabe to anyone on one large Nationwide database. The idea was that you could visit any Genealogical Centre in Ireland, they would look up your inquiry on their National database and bingo!!, up pops your ancestor. Great Idea, but not really feasable. The people employed to carry out this mammoth task, were inexperienced to say the least. The records were transcribed and put to computer databases by teenagers who were taken off the dole registers for this purpose. The teenagers had no real interest in what they were doing, the result being, that names were transcribed wrongly, as were the townland addresses and any other information in the church records. Also, bored teenagers added their own personal comments and remarks to those records, and in many cases, those persons in charge did not check the finished databases for errors. Enough to say, that any records from those centres should not be accepted as true and correct. For the most part, the staff who were selected to oversee these youngsters, also had no trainig regarding setting up such a Network, to ensure that all information from all centres in Ireland could eventually be put together into one large National database. The centres used different software programs, and different computers for the task. Mackintoshes were used, as were IBM Compatibles and older computers which were not compatible to either of those computer types. The project was started around 1985, and it was not until 1990 that they got themselves together and realised that the project would not be a success at a National level for the reasons I stated above and for other reasons which I will not bore you with. The project collapsed, and it is now left to the individual centres to give out information relating to their own areas. They do not encourage visitors to their door, as it is too time consuming to conduct a search in that environment. Also, I suspect that now they are better equipped and more knowledgable regarding the type of work the are doing. Most of the centres will now be in the process of going back to the beginning and starting all over again. Thus another reason why they prefer that the general public do not land at their doorstep. What I would ask now is, who benefits from the monies taken in by these Genealogical Centres? The churches do not get anything for giving their records. No other persons or agencies gains anything from these project excepting the committees who are responsible for overseeing them. What do they do with the money they make? That's what I would love to know".

Hi everyone! Hope a lot of us are going to take channel 33 - "Beginning Genealogy" with a new twist. Look at the new page Marthe's put up to explain some ideas: http://www.eskimo.com/~mnarends/vustudy.html So Fianna needs to look at that long page and make some decisions! Let's hear some ideas!

Lynn, So far I have received two responses to the request I posted on your need for a birth certificate. The first on said you have to go through the County Clare Heritage Center. However, the writer had had experience dealing with the County Clare Heritage Center and was very satisfied. This is not always the case since the heritage centers apparently vary considerably in their level of expertise and the quality of their service. I will post the web address for the heritage centers to the list sometime. However, I do think that since you have a name and this is a later birth you could just order a certificate. (However I am rather new to genealogicla research myself.) This morning I recived the following letter: "Civil Records of BDM date from 1864. Certificates are available from the General Register Office, Joyce House, Lombard Street, Dublin 2. They cost £5.50 (say $10 including postage). You need to tell them name, Father's name, Mother's maiden name, date and place of birth. "County Clare" is unlikely to be enough to locate the entry and they may charge more if they have to make an extensive search. The Clare Genealogy Centre, Corofin, Co. Clare, have most or all of the parish records indexed. You would have to inquire direct for their charges. They almost certainly have the 1879 records but you may not require them if you get the certificates you want from the General Register Office." I think this is reliable information. This informant usually knows what he is talking about! Gail in MO

Hi all, received this on Somgen list (Somerset Co, PA)......Had to share it as it is great! Laura akaCloudy ***Dear All: Ran across this poem in WV, author unknown. I pass it on for your enjoyment.....................RJR*** Searching For The Voice In My Heart It was the first day of census, and all through the land each pollster was ready ... a black book in hand. He mounted his horse for a long dusty ride, his book and some quills were tucked close by his side. A long winding ride down a road barely there, towards the smell of fresh bread wafting, up through the air. The woman was tired, with lines on her face and wisps of brown hair she tucked back into place. She gave him some water .. as they sat at the table and she answered his questions ... the best she was able. He asked her of children. Yes, she had quite a few. The oldest was twenty, the youngest not two. She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red. His sister, she whispered, was napping in bed. She noted each person who lived there with pride, and she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside. He noted the sex, the color, the age... the marks from the quill soon filled up the page. At the number of children, she nodded her head and saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead. The places of birth she "never forgot"...was it Kansas? or Utah? or Oregon ... or not? They came from Scotland, of that she was clear. But she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been there. They spoke of employment, of schooling and such. They could read some .. and write some ... though really not much. When the questions were answered, his job there was done so he mounted his horse and he rode towards the sun. We can almost imagine his voice loud and clear, "May God bless you all for another ten years." Now picture a time warp ... it's now you and me as we search for the people on our family tree. We squint at the census and scroll down so slow as we search for that entry from long, long ago. Could they only imagine on that long ago day that the entries they made would effect us this way? If they knew would they wonder at the yearning we feel and the searching that makes them so increasingly real. We can hear if we listen the words they impart through their blood in our veins and their voice in our heart. Author Unknown (Unfortunately!!)

For new members of FiannaL, the classes are free and we'd LOVE to have you joining us there! To add to bpossum's post (quoted at end)... Basically nothing more was said about the upcoming class in Thursday night's meeting. This looks like a way for a lot of the Fianna-folk (fennidi) to get together..maybe even in two groups...one of "beginners" and one of old class 325 folk....Though if enough "old timers are on board, they should be able to help the "beginners". As usual, I will happily code up our study group notes and such... We'll need a Rigfennid (main leader) for the study group...It was for such a possibility that we changed Wendy Garner's nick to FIRSTRIG... so we'd have room for a next Rig..(who then could of course, if he/she desired, could retire to RIGTWO or such! ;)))) Let's try to get things in place EARLY!
