My e-mail address given here works without changing anything. My mother's family came to London from Cobh in the 1850s, although I now live in the US.

John, Happy Christmas and happy New Year to yourself, Marguerite and family from Seán, Mary and Cathal, Regards, Seán Moore.
I seek information about the birth of my 2nd great grandfather Patrick Hoey. He was born about 1836 somewhere in Ireland, the son of John Hoey and Mary Fitzgerald and served in the U.S. civil war from Connecticut. The last name has also been spelled HOY. His death certificate and all other information only specify "Ireland." I have been told that Sligo is a likely location. I will appreciate advice.
Could anyone direct me to an Irish language website that is user-friendly? Thanks!
Season's Greetings: God bless you and keep you, protect you and yours, and grant you all the joy of this Christmas and all the hope of the comming year. Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas!

Hi List, I received this bit of info yesterday. Just thought I would pass it along. It is from NEHGS (New England Historical and Genealogical Society): Irish Censuses to be Available Free Online Yahoo News reported recently that a cooperative venture between the national archives of two countries, Ireland and Canada, will index the 1901 and 1911 censuses of Ireland and make them available for free on the internet. The first phase will be released in December, 2006, with the records of Dublin. It is estimated that the project will take three years to complete. Information includes name, age, sex, marital status, occupation, country and county of birth, literacy level, ability to speak Irish, number of years married for women and the total number of children born. Visit http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20051206/tc_afp/irelandcanadahistory for more details.
On the townland map of Amargh just NW of the town of Armagh is Tyross Lodge and Tyross H?. Does anyone have any knowledge of these places.
I want to thank everyone for their help in this matter. Thanks to the many inputs, I can work around the problem by clicking on 'Search Results' in the details window of the IGI entry I select to view. I had always just used the 'back' button on my browser, but that seems to no longer get me where I want to go. My system uses Windows XP / Rev2, and - as some have proposed - I think the problem started following installation of some security (or other) update from Microsoft. Yet, the problem could also be at the Family History site. Thanks again, and I hope everyone has a great holiday season. Dave Riley Portsmouth, RI
Hi Derryhale, The wasp sting cure, was called a blue bag. They were used for washing white cotton clothes. The blue bags were dipped into the cold rinsing water, after boiling. The idea being that a hint of blue would make the white clothes look whiter. Best wishes, Maureen Jenkins Rhondda

In the States, I believe the substance was called "blueing" as there was once a factory for making it here in our town. Perhaps a blue wrapper was one that wrapped the cakes of this material. -dja

I hope you'll excuse me for focusing on history rather than genealogy but I've lost track of the story behind the "Twelve Days of Christmas." Was it in Ireland or England - or both - that Catholics sang and thereby learned of the Christmas Story, despite anti-Catholic oppression? What was the time frame?

The only thing I can think of is that she wrapped "washing blue" which was a block used to give the impression of whiteness to white laundry - in much the same way as some modern detergents have blue bits in them.
