I'm looking for anyone who has any information about the Von Rowland line. I'm trying to find one of the families that migrated to the U.S.A. Not sure when, but my husband thought his name was a Gustov or Gustof Von Rowland before he migrated to America and changed it to Rowland. I'm told he had a lot of mistresses you took his name so its awfully hard to track people down. What I have so far is not much. My husband's grandfather was a James Rowland, married a Helen Ryan. James's father was a Joel *Benjemen* Rowland. *not sure if correct spelling I believe he was married to an Elizabeth Maria Gram. Above that I can't find much. I thought maybe if I started at the Gustof Rowland and work my way down it might be easier due to the lack of information. If you have any information no matter how little, please email me at Ella.VonRowl...@gmail.com Thanks for any help

Full : info at: : www.jeaniejohnston.ie : BoatBoy I'm happy to hear that it has not been "sold foreign" but will continue to fly the tricoulor. I was afraid it would end up tied to the pier in the Dublin Docklands as a static tourist attraction. As I travelled around Ireland last year I asked people what they thought should become of the Jeanie. With one exception, the opinion was that Ireland should not spend another euro on it. Much maligned due to cost overruns, the future looked grim and prospects for another visit across the Atlantic looked slim indeed. I have to say that sailing on the Jeanie was one of the most satisfying experiences of my life, and I hope that other people will have the chance as well.

From The Times, 8 December 1881- The Irish Land Court The Sub-Commissioners sitting for the Nenagh division gave judgment to-day in the cases of "Matthew Ryan and others, tenants ; William Ryan, J.P., landlord." In the cases of Matthew Ryan, Peter Aherne, and Joseph Aherne no question except one as to the value of the land arose, and what was the fair rent that should be fixed. In two other cases a very serious question had been raised by counsel for the landlord, who had contended that the tenants were holding under a contract of tenancy other than a yearly tenancy, and that under the 21st section of the Land Act they were, therefore, excluded from the Act. With regard to the first-mentioned case, it had been argued that the rent had remained unaltered for a very long period, 40 years, and that that should be taken as conclusive evidence of the rent being a fair one. The landlord had stated that he had never raised the rent since he became the owner of the property in the year 1837, and also that he had been paid up to last year regularly and without demur. But the Commissioners could not take that as conclusive evidence of the fair rent. They had, they said, to consider that the lands had passed through great changes, in the meantime, some having increased in value, while others had diminished. Mr. Ryan's land was subject to flooding ; there were no substantial improvements upon them ; and, taking into consideration all the circumstances, they fixed a fair rent at £66, the old rent being £80 10s. In the case of one of the holdings held by Peter Aherne, they would fix the judicial rent at £31, the old rent being £37 14s. In the case of Joseph Aherne they fixed the judicial rent at £28, the old rent being £31. There then remained the two cases in which Mr. Mattheson, the landlord's counsel, had raised the serious question with regard to their being let under the lease or contract which was in existence at the time of the passing of the Act, which consequently excluded them from the benefits of the Act. The agreement was entirely a parole agreement, a lease never having been executed or sought by one side or proferred by the other. One tenant had admitted that the landlord had said he would give him a lease, but he had never got it. The Commissioners did not consider that the contract was proven to their entire satisfaction. In one case 18 years had expired, and in the other 11 years, since the leases were first spoken of. During the whole of that time no effort had been made either by landlord or tenant to have them executed. The Commissioners held that there had been no contract of tenancy under the Act, and would fix the rent of Patrick Ryan Long at £32 (old rental £42), and in the case of Peter Aherne's bog farm, they would fix a judicial rent of £14 (old rental £20) ; no costs. The Commissioners next gave judgment in the case of "Molony, tenant ; Hamilton, landlord." The applicant held 290 statute acres of the lands of Castlewaller, at a rent of £210 and claimed to have a fair rent fixed. The valuation was only £84. The question at issue was whether the land was demesne, and consequently exempt within the meaning of the Act. The Commissioners ruled that the lands came under the denomination of demesne lands, and dismissed the application without costs. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

From The Irish Times, 9 November 1922 - FIGHT NEAR MACROOM. A successful action by national forces against a large concentration of Republicans is reported from Carriganimmy, between Macroom and Millstreet. On Monday an armoured car left Macroom for Millstreet. On the return journey the road was found to be blocked, and an officer sent a wireless message to Macroom, from which soldiers were despatched in the direction of Millstreet. They found that the Republicans, who are believed to have been under command of Sean Moylan, M.P., were encamped in strong positions. Both sections of the national Army arrived at Carriganimmy about the same time and engaged the Republicans. After two hours' fighting the Republicans retreated across country. They were pursued for some distance and scattered. Their exact loses are unknown, but it is believed that they were heavy. On the other hand, the national troops had one casualty--Captain McDermott, wounded. Yesterday afternoon, shortly after two o'clock, the Coburg street branch of the Provincial Bank, Cork, was raided by armed men, who got away with a considerable sum of money. The barracks at Glanmire, near Cork, was attacked from three points on Tuesday night. The troops replied to the fire of the Republicans, who retreated after an exchange of shots. During the attack a girl was wounded, but only very slightly. The garrison suffered no casualties. The telegraph wires between Killeagh and Youghal having been cut on Tuesday night, the 9 o'clock morning train from Youghal arrived in Cork considerably over an hour late. The wires between Fermoy and Cork were also cut on Tuesday night, with the result that there was yesterday no telegraphic or telephonic communication with Fermoy. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I wonder if some kind person would lookup Robert Kennedy and John Kennedy of Mullagh in Co. Longford in the Trinity College, Dublin, Alumni book. There worked in the Exchequer of Ireland in the seventeenth century. I suspect one or both of them were educated at Trinity College, Dublin. Thanks. JP

Susan, It has been a few years, but I have many times obtained Alumni Dublinense entries by writing to Assistant Librarian Manuscripts Department Trinity College Library University of Dublin College Street Dublin 2 I believe there is a modest fee now, but the good information is well worth it. I suggest you ask for all the entries on your surname. It will be several pages of entries sometimes. I have been able to work out some family trees for several generations from the information. The entry tells the father's name, county, and occupation; the student's age at matriculation and the degrees he earned. If he is George son of Roger of County Longford, you can look up Roger and f in he is son of Stephen, etc. Rachel Smith Subject: Trinity College Dublin From: Susan Perrett <susanp@st.net.au> Date: Sun, 05 Feb 2006 00:18:00 GMT To: GENIRE-L@rootsweb.com Hi, Would anyone have access to a copy of Alumni Dublinenses for the years 1592-1860 that would be prepared do a look up for me, please. I am looking for one George ALSTON, who was there 1834? to 1836? and am interested in where he may have lived in Dublin while he attended Trinity College. I think he got his BA in 1836.

Maybe you should look to the International Star Registry web site instead, to get a star "officially" named for your family - forever and ever and ever!!!
