Hi Fiona, Within the Open University Site you'll find the attached Pdf (see link below) - this was an extensive guide (issued some time ago) to what survived in Police Archives unfortunately very little is listed for Lancashire (I typically mention this source for Policing) http://www.open.ac.uk/arts/research/policing/sites/www.open.ac.uk.arts.research.policing/files/files/ecms/arts-policing-pr/web-content/guide-to-police-archives.pdf Another possibility would be to track down copies of the Police and Constabulary Almanac (commenced in 1858) initially it lists senior officers but I believe later editions had more details. You might find this deposited in Dublin ? A final possibility might be to contact the Police Historical Society (I am a member because of my Newspaper and more particularly Police Gazette interest) to see whether any current member has done research on the early 20th century Liverpool Police force and might be aware of any other records . Incidentally Police Orders can be also a good source if they existed for Lancashire - I have the Printed Metropolitan Police Orders from 1937 (I believe they started in 1865) which provides all kinds of printed details on joiners leavers etc. Very Best Regards Richard Heaton -----Original Message----- From: Fíona Tipplevia Sent: Friday, November 21, 2014 12:24 PM To: RENNISON john.vayro@sky.com ; goons@rootsweb.com list ; higham@clara.net Subject: Re: [G] Liverpool police personnel records Thanks Rennison, Anne.

I just went on the Profile update section of our Guild website and finally added a number of sections to my blank profile. This is something I originally drafted in Word and just had not gotten around to doing on the old website for any number of reasons. After watching the Next Stage seminar presentation about websites and listening to Susan Mastel's comments that our Profile is a very easy to make and share as a first step website and link to anyone searching our surname - I went ahead and did it. SUPER EASY - so thanks to our webmaster Nigel Osborne & his team working on the website, thanks to Kim Baldacchino and her team working on seminars (great presentations - watch them at the Guild YouTube channel) and thanks to presenter Susan Mastel for the gentle "kick in the pants" that I needed to get started. More to come! Have you updated or started your Guild Profile? Why not give it a go. Tessa Keough Guild of One-Name Studies, Member No. 5089 Keough (Keogh, Kough & Kehoe) Registered ONS

Actually they are found by " Griffith's Survey Maps & Plans, 1847-1864" and you have to search by place name for the correct map. There is no link at all with the surnames. But this is hardly surprising as they are awful! I bought a copy (reduced size) of the area where my great-grandfather came from and could hardly read the plot numbers, so I was hoping for help with that. These are reduced far more, so that it is a job to read the names of the places! What a disappointment!

"you have to search by place name for the correct map" To clarify, as an example, when I entered "Kilkenny" under "Place" and "Finnan" under "Townland" I got nothing, but when I entered "Finnan" under "Place" that townland came up. Martha Bowes Guild #5048

There are other alternatives for this source. For some years now I have been searching Griffith's survey and viewing corresponding survey pages and maps for free at the Ask About Ireland site http://www.askaboutireland.ie/ It's nice to be able to locate actual farms, when you can believe the notation on the maps. Unfortunately, the numbering for individual locations on the maps does not always correspond to the numbering in the actual survey.

BTW, what you will actually see is the OS 6-inch sheet on which the townland is mapped, so you unless you’re very lucky you may have to hunt around a bit for the townland itself. It helps if you have a vague idea of where it is in the locale - checking a modern OSI map (I use the Discovery 500 series) or the OSI website first can be useful. I’ve emailed FMP to enquire why there isn’t a direct link to the relevant OS sheet from the results page. This was the way the Origins site used to work, as far as I remember.

The belief that it is possible to pinpoint the location where one's ancestors first took their surnames approximately 1000 years ago is the basis of case study reports produced and marketed by English, Scottish and Irish Origenes. This review will examine the claim with particular reference to the application of the methodology to English case studies and the use of farmers as a reliable locator for a testee's genetic homeland. It will not directly address the question of Scottish or Irish case studies, although many of the same points could be equally applied in the context of these reports. http://geogenealogy.ca/farmer.htm

Ancestry regularly shows 'updated' record sets in their New Records notifications. Is there any way of limiting responses to the records that have been changed since the last loading (or even since a given date). I suppose I'm really asking whether there is an 'accession' or 'modified' date that is searchable? Or does anyone have any other trick for this? Apologies if this is a repeated question.

I know some of the people who were involved in this project through my work, I gather about half of the remains that were recovered during the archeology were identified and all were given a proper burial in a war cemetary. I will ask if the two people I know would write a short piece to share with you, they were involved in the X-ray examinations that took place on the site, these were X-rays of both the remains and artefacts Chris Usher (studying Gilhome) On 12 November 2014 12:39, Debbie Kennett via <goons@rootsweb.com> wrote: > I believe a lot of the work to trace relatives in these cases is done by > volunteers. > > For anyone interested more about how this work is done you might like to > watch Michelle Leonard's excellent talk from Genetic Genealogy Ireland 2014 > on "The Fromelles Genealogy Project: from WW1 Mass Grave to 21st Century > Named Grave". > > http://youtu.be/wpAhtZSIAac > > Some of the audience were apparently moved to tears. > > The Fromelles Project are using both Y-DNA and mtDNA.
