Hello, I trust it's not too late for the "Roll Call"? The principal families I am researching in Ireland are as follows: From MUNSTER, mainly Clare, Cork and Limerick, and Dublin: DINAN, HARTNEDY, McNAMARRA, GALLAGHER From ULSTER: BALFOUR & WHITE (mostly FERMANAGH) BLAIN & HILL (mostly Belfast, ANTRIM, also DOWN) I would love to hear from anyone researching any of these families.

THE EMIGRANT IRISH Like oil lamps, we put them out back -- of our houses, of our minds. We had lights better than, newer than and then a time came, this time and now we need them. Their dread, makeshift example: they would have thrived on our necessities. What they survived we could not even live. By their lights now it is time to imagine how they stood there, what they stood with, that their possessions may become our power: Cardboard. Iron. Their hardships parceled in them. Patience. Fortitude. Long-suffering in the bruise-colored dusk of the New World. And all the old songs. And nothing to lose. -- Ms. Eavan Boland, b. 1944, poet, lecturer, and reviewer, is a native of Dublin, was educated there and in London and New York before graduating from Trinity College, Dublin. She played a central role in the development of Arlen House, a feminist publishing house in that city. In this elegantly spare poem, the emigrants from the famine are remembered for their strength and ability to survive.

Bob~ Here is the on line site for the New York Emigrant Savings Bank - http://www.genexchange.org/esb/index.cfm Another dealing with changing emigrant names - http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/aboutins/history/articles/NAMES.htm Remember that many given names of Irish as well as other nationalities have numerous forms. An example is the name Joanna, it is also Julia, Joan, Judith, Judy, Hannah (which can be Honora also). Won't even go into the versions of Mary. In the former given name, all of them were on documents relating to my husband's great grandmother in Ireland.

There is a Ginocchio who fought on the confederate side in the civil war but I am 99% sure he is not mine. My Louis Ginocchio doesn't seem to have applied for citizenship. I haven't looked at Emigrants Savings Bank records because I am not sure it can be done on line or through the LDS church. Louis Sr. is buried in Evergreens in Brooklyn in 1881 with a married daughter who died young in 1889. There is no wife buried there with him. If Mary died on Staten Island, and they had a lot there then why is he buried in Brooklyn? It is true that earlier I was looking for Julia Maloney, but her name on the childrens marriage records is listed as Mary. The family name is severely misspelled in the 1860 census as Genarkey, and this is why I didn't find them for so long myself. In 1865 on Staten Island, the name is listed as Ginnocker the head of the house being "Pat" born in Ireland, which is a complete mistake. Also "Ellen" along with two children instead of three by then. In 1870, they are still listed as Ginnocker. The entry reads Louis, age 37, machinist, born Italy. Ellen, age 30 born England, along with Julia, age 14, Sarah, age 10, and Louis, my g grandfather, age 9. Julia married James Emmons in May of 1874. She died in 1889 at age 33. Sarah married a man by the name of Martel but I don't have the date. She was a widow probably by 1890 and married an attorney, Patrick H. Loftus, in September of 1895. My g grandfather married Louise Barbieri in Nov. of 1881 at 22 Baxter St. Manhattan. Louis Sr. died Dec. 6, 1881, and was buried in Evergreens in Brooklyn. Louis Jr. is buried where I live in Windsor Locks, CT. Thank you for your help and ideas.

Hi Bob, I suggest you take a look at the ages of the family in the 1865 census and compare them to both 1860 and 1870. When doing census lookups one has to realize the information contained in the censuses may or may not have been provided by a family member, hence numerous errors are found in names and ages (and sometimes ladies fudged considerably on their ages.). I suggest it may be possible that Mary Maloney's name could have been Mary Ellen Maloney. You indicate Louis Sr. is buried with his daughter Julia Emmons in Brooklyn. Perhaps Louis Sr. was buried there because the lot was available. The strange thing is it appears you have not found a burial plot for either a Mary or Ellen Ginocchio.

Hi MaryPat, I was catching up on my e-mails and saw your kind offer to do look-ups. I was wondering could you do one for me? I have a Hugh McCaighey(widower) tailor, , married to Elizabeth Mercer on 4 Jan 1856, Lisburn.(Ref Reg.15, p.35, entry 70) I am trying to find out who Hughs' first wife was or who his children are? Any information on Hugh or any other McCaighey from Lisburn would be appreciated. Thanks Brian --------------------------------- Yahoo! FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.

Hello Mary Pat, In order to do a look-up, does one have to have the exact area in Ireland? My ancesters, I think were from Cavan, all I have is their names. William McCabe/ Mary groves B. abt. 1766 married abt. 1787 Michael Murray/ Letitia McCabe born abt. 1794-1801 married 1827 all above in Ireland..... I have never found William or Michael. Letitia and Mary I have found in the 1841,1851,1861 census in Kirknewton, Scotland. Just a shot in the dark! Thank you for your attention. Joanne Brown maggie1115@aol.com
