    3. Hi list members, I hope your research is going well. I have posted below a few bits and pieces that I have picked up over recent days from other lists. >From Ireland GenWeb Fianna is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~fianna/ and the passenger and ship list data should be pretty complete there, as well as lots of other goodies - 200 pages and growing...and some carefully chosen links in various areas... And lots and lots of links at http://www.geocities.com/~hoseahouse/genealogy/ Wild Irish Roves has six pages of Irish/Celtic links Linking to Lives is eight pages of how-to's and classical sites for genealogy, and then there's Britain, Wales, Scotland (including some clan and tartan sites) and the USA >From Scotland GenWeb "Memoirs of the Rebellion in 1745 and 1746," by The Chevalier De Johnstone, Aid-de-Camp to Lord George Murray, General of the Rebel Army, et al. Second Edition. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown. 456 pages. 1821. The first edition was published in 1820, I believe. It's an excellent contemporary account of the Rebellion by an individual who certainly was in the thick of it. It contains over 250 surnames, mostly at the officer and clan chief levels, but also many of the 'common' people Johnstone interacted with during the period. I finally indexed it and can now do lookups for anyone who had relatives involved in the Rebellion. John Jardine jjardcinc@aol.com "Historical Records of the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders - Now the 2nd Battalion Princes Louise's Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders." Complied and edited by Roderick Hamilton Burgoyne, Late of the 93rd. London: Richard Bentley & Son. 1883 It is a 430 page record of this well-known and highly decorated regiment, from its beginnings in 1799 to its amalgamation in 1881. Many officers are mentioned throughout; few enlisted men though, unless they were cited for bravery in action, or had received a medal. Unfortunately, it does not have an index, but I could try to do lookups and photocopy selected pages for any one who had a relative in the Regiment during this period. Name, rank, period served, and locations, would be very helpful. John Jardine jjardcinc@aol.com I would suggest that if you are researching in Ireland or Scotland that you should belong to either or both of these lists.

I hope some of this helps in your research, Regards Bruce
