Top o' the Morning to all Patricia and anyone else with these hard to find Irish ancestors, mention dates you think they may have come over and if known section of Irish. You can always check the Irish surname book by McLaught or something like that (think Waldomere has it) and it will tell you areas that surname is most common and I think the meaning of the name.

Top o' the Morning to all my fellow HCGS researchers. Although I have some Irish ancestry, it's proving to be more elusive than I thought it would be to trace it back to the old sod. Anyone up for sharing their Irish ancestry today? Let's see - I do have the COURTNEYS and BODLEYS who are ancestors of my DENNISONS. Thomas Courtney was born in Northern Ireland. Was he one of the Orangemen? I don't know but he and his were buried in a Methodist cemetery in Monongalia County. I grew up hearing the romantic story of how Patrick Dennison had eloped with the daughter of Lord Courtney who was the mayor of Dublin. No one has found any factual evidence to this. However, since there is a Courtney line that married into the Dennisons (Isabella Courtney and Charles MATHES' daugher Mary Jane Mathes married John Dennison in 1851) and a couple of the Courtney descendants went back to Ireland to try to claim some property, it's easy to see how the story could get confused. Add to this that there was a Patrick Dennison, an Irish immigrant, that was living in Wood County in the late 1800's. I can just imagine some of his family meeting up with some of my line and thinking that they were somehow related. And the COSTELLO line is supposedly Irish. However, no one has traced anyone back to Ireland. I have the surnames FERRELL and MAGEE - both Irish sounding. I'm sure that there are a few others but I don't have my notes with me. Maybe if Mom gets online later, she can add more. It appears that I'm not as Irish as I originally thought. I'm wearing green and preparing a traditional Irish dinner anyway! My daughter, however, has a grandmother that was pure Irish-American. Annie's great-great grandparents didn't get here until 1888. The surnames I have for her are KELLY and LANGAN who were both from County Galway. Her great-grandmother was a CARNEY. That family was here slightly earlier. They probably immigrated around the time of the famine. I'm determined to get to Garrett County, MD this summer and see if I can find more on them. May you find a pot of genealogical gold sometime in the near future! Patricia
Ruby, I had a DAR member offer the sheet music and if you want me to email her I will be more than glad to write her. Let me know.

Hi Christine, I didn't even think about the Coast Guards but someone sent me the words to their song and it is beautiful. We certainly do need them to guard our coasts. I don't think we have anyone in church that was in the Coast Guard. We have more Navy than any other branch of the military. We are a small church but have several Veterans as our congregation is an older one. Thanks for the reminder. I'm trying now to find the sheet music. We have the Navy Hymn in our older Methodist Hymal because one of our ministers had been in the Navy and every so often he would want to sing it.

Ruby, Duane Hardman gave that service at our Church several years ago, He might have what you want. Betty
Thanks to the ones who answered me on obtaining the words and music for the military songs. Sharon I sent an e-mail to sheetmusic to see if they have the music and the words. I also visited the webpage that Jim Cottrill sent and will contact them if sheetmusic does not have it. Thanks once again and I know everyone in our area is enjoying the beautiful day we are having here in West Virginia. The last time I looked at the thermometer it was 76. Can you believe that?

Hi Ruby, I hate to be a real stickler, especially when you are doing something nice, but the Coast Guard is also a branch of the military. I know the members of the Coast Guard would appreciate being included in your special day. The info for the Coast Guard is on the web site that Jim sent earlier.

Sharon I checked 1870 Upshur and Harrison and didn't see any Asbury POST. Do you have any idea of an age or anyone else that should be in the family?

Ruby, I've requested the site from the DAR list. One of them had posted it and I (slipping again) didn't keep it. I'll forward it to you ASAP.

Hi Folks, Our church will be having a Veterans Appreciation Day and we are in need of the words and music to the songs for the four branches of service. Navy, Air Force, Marines and Army. Does anyone have the words and music or know where we can get them? Last year we had an Over 80's Tea. Thanks, Ruby Casto [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
Does this describe any of you? It sure does me. Genealogy-You Know You Are Addicted When: by Cindy Carman You can't pass a cemetery without stopping to see if one of your relatives is buried there. There's a microfilm reader installed in your bathroom You call traveling 10 miles to the shopping mall a lengthy trip but call a 100-mile trip to a cemetery a quick jaunt. You spend more time in the county courthouse than your local trial lawyer. You ask every person you meet the last names of their grandparents. You have a massive collection of articles in which your surname is mentioned only once. You have carpal tunnel syndrome from cranking microfilm reader handles. You can recite the day, month, and year of your great grandmother's birth but can't remember your own spouse's birth date. When someone says they have a new Chicago CD you think they are talking about a vital records CD for Chicago, IL. More than half of the photographs in your photograph albums are of dead people. When someone asks you if you've seen any of the newly released films you think they are talking about the newly released Federal Census films. You can remember things that happened 100 years ago but can't remember what happened yesterday
