So by all means dive in and update the Quebec Church Records page you mentioned was way outdated. The way the wiki is supposed to work is that when someone comes across information in it that is stale, outdated, or otherwise wrong, to just go in and correct it. If you screw something up in the process, you can revert the edit and start again if necessary. Salt Lake knows that all the outlines are outdated, yes, they said that many have not been updated for years. Knowing that, and knowing that we need the latest information available to find ancestors and the records that were left about them, they set up the wiki. It's for everyone, not just those at the library who run it. They provide the site, run the hardware and some moderation activity, but it's up to us to update it. If anyone wants to update a page about a locality and make it a group effort, have at it. There has already been a successful effort on the National Library of Wales page where they have listed all the microfilm numbers on a subpage, so you can find it no matter where it was in the catalog as far as its listing, some were listed under one heading, while others were in other headings.

Mary, I dont think there is an 1841 Irish Census on Origins (or anywhere else either) What is very useful on Origins is the Griffith Valuation (c.1850) which lists all householders/landholders in Ireland. Also they have maps linked to Griffiths, so if you are very lucky you might be able to locate your ancestors house on a map.

Does anyone have any connections with the McCullagh family at Ardee, Louth ?

Hi Theresa, Thank you and yes, I would like to work together. Just email me at my home email address. The reason I wanted to know about Origins was the 1841 Census. I am having difficulty in locating my gr-gr-grandparents and was hoping if I go through each Census I might be able to find them. My gr-gr-grandfather was Michael Dillon. The maiden name of my gr-gr-grandmother, Mary Dillon, is confusing. On the marriage register of their daughter, my gr-grandmother, has Mary's maiden name as Cannaught but on the pack of a picture of her the maiden name is spelled Cinnaught. Another confusion is the birth records for three of their daughters gives her maiden name as Tinsley (Kinsley). Needless to say, my search for them has been very frustrating, especially not knowing which county they immigrated from. I don't know if you would be able to located them or not. About Ancestry, I have found a lot of information that I haven't been able to find for free. The information on there has helped me further my search. I will be more than happy to look on Ancestry for you.

I have just joined the group and was wondering if anyone could help with information about Banteer Co Cork in the 1850's, and especially St Fursey's Church there. My ancestors Owen O'Neill and Catherine Foley married there in 1851, before emmigrating to Australia on the Northern Light in 1857. Thanks from Di in Australia

Does anyone out there have a tree for Michael Davitt, the Fenian? There was one posted at Roots.Web a number of years ago, but at that time, we didn't know he was of interest to our family. I am trying to trace our relationship to him through other Davitt's, in particular those that migrated from Islandeady, Co Mayo to the Green Isle, MN region. I have information on Davitt's in MN, but have been unable to make the link to Michael Davitt so far. He would be, I think, some kind of cousin, since the Davitt's in my tree would have lived at the same time he did. Thanks for consideration.

Hi Mary I've used Scottish Origins (which I believe is part of the same group) and it was brilliant! But, that may be because there's much more information recorded on Scottish BMDs. I thought it was very good value. At the moment, I have a subscription to "findmypast" which again, is very good value for money but they only have 2 counties of the 1901 census, which is a bit annoying as its that one particularly I need to see.

>From The Cork Examiner, 15 July 1865 - THE WEATHER. -------- DURING the last few days a good deal of rain has fallen, and the character of the weather has been, on the whole, rather gloomy. Last night the rain fall was exceedingly heavy, and it was accompanied by a strong wind from the S.S.W. From an early hour this morning the harbour, and the sea outside for a considerable distance along the coast was covered by a dense fog. The weather was so thick that the R.M.S. Asia, the homeward bound American steamer, had nearly entered the harbour before she was observed from Roche's Point. The fog lifted about ten o'clock, and the weather has since been fine though there are still threatenings of more rain. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
