A bit late and my first post to this list - still lurking - Happy St Pattrick's Day from Central West NSW Australia. Weather raining - Yeehah! - drought for at least 2 years. I have an Irish Orphan, Bridget/Elizabeth LEANEY (and various spellings) Co Leitrim; Samuel WARK mar to Elizabeth IRWIN, Co Donegal and Co Derry Thomas WESLEY and family Co Limerick; Patrick CORKERY family Co Cork; O'BRIEN Co Tipperary (just discovered this lot so don't know much about them) Have to unsub in 2 days time for a couple of weeks though because of major op but will appreciate any info or connection after that. Will post again when I come back, Alice.

If you have ancestor from Northern Ireland, like I do, you might get some info from this website. It is the website of Ulster Ancestry and they have many free databases that can be searched on line, including some passenger lists. http://www.ulsterancestry.com/ua-free-pages.php -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by ZoneAlarm AntiVirus

On a St Pat's day interview out of Vancouver where they have an "Irish street" with two pubs situated opposite each other, I heard one of the two pub owners explaining the finer points of making "green" beer. His clients were the "younger crowd" while the owner of the second pub, undoubtedly with his nose in the air, claimed his "more reserved crowd" stuck to Guiness properly pumped with a reasonable amount of nitrogen so as not to give it too much gas. Both pubs expected the usual full house from opening to closing. Ah! Such a day is this St. Patrick's. It is perhaps the most universal, non-holiday celebration. -- DAVE FOSTER Victoria BC [email protected] http://members.shaw.ca/davesfamily/

Happy Belated St Patrick's Day! Finally found time to check the email and couldn't believe it! I had 88 messages...hope to try the soda bread recipes. Still looking for Mathew McGurk birthplace. After going to Ireland (and I want to go back) and checking the phone books I think the best bet is Co Tyrone or that area. He was born in August or September in 1821 or 1822. He is buried in a Catholic cemetary in Sandusky, Ohio. I am not sure how to find church records and see when he was baptized. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Sue McGurk

Happy St Patrick's Day from London. Its is 9.40pm and it is rocking and rolling here tonight. The weather today has been that of a summers day. London held it St Pats day last Sunday central London with Trafalgar Square painted in green. But here in London like Dublin it is no longer a days celebration its St Patrick's Festival week. My young daughters English born are all out tonight celebrating with their Russian Polish Irish Chinese Black and Asian friends which makes London the most dynamic city in the world after New York. The Irish community in London is the biggest ethnic community in a city of eight million people with an Irish membership of two million people playing their full part in all aspects of London life. ciaran colgan [email protected] a hot summers day ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Foster" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 3:04 PM Subject: [ROLL CALL] Roll call: Loane/Winnett > Hi All, > Happy St. Patrick's!

Beautiful and sunny in Montreal for Saint Paddy's Day. Spring is coming! Finally attended my first (ashamed to admit having grown up here) Saint Patrick's Day Parade last Sunday and it was wonderful. Still looking for those elusive Chambers from Belfast Ireland Heather

Happy St. Patrick's Day (or evening) from a very wet Orlando, Florida. It started raining yesterday and hasn't stopped yet! I'm still looking for Timothy Creeden from County Cork. Kathy

Yes, Happy St. Patrick's Day to all from the Cleveland area. 40 degrees today--down right spring like for Ohio!!

Happy St Pat's Day to all those seeking their Irish Roots. Raining today at Papamoa Beach in the beautiful Bay of Plenty. Have had a glorious summer but we badly need the rain. Ruth Warner Papamoa Beach, Bay of Plenty. New Zealand.

Hi everyone, Here in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia the weather is just perfect 25oC (78f) and not a cloud in the sky. Today in the little bakery I visit for coffee the girls were dressed in green with little decorations all over the shop, Irish jig music was playing over the P.A. ... funny thing was when I asked, non of the staff were Irish, they just enjoy the day .. Ah sure isn't that grand! Mal .... Looking for Rogers, Butler, Bridges ... Dunleckney and Bagenalstown. 1800 +

It is time to say "Happy Birthday" to Eliza (Brown) Cotter who would have been 179 years old on St. Patrick's Day, Thursday, March 17, 2005. The Liggett Irish heritage comes from Eliza and her husband, William, who came to the U.S. in 1847 from County Armagh in northern Ireland and settled in Carroll County, OH. There are 34 million U.S. residents who claim Irish ancestry. This number is almost nine times the population of Ireland itself (3.9 million). Irish is the nation's second most frequently reported ancestry, trailing only German. An Irish Blessing May God give you: for every storm, a rainbow, for every tear, a smile, for every care, a promise, and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh, a sweet song, and an answer for each prayer.

Greetings from New Zealand. Warm and sunny day, nearly finished. will go for a swim after work! Very different from when I lived in Waterford, 25 years ago. We always celebrated as as my brother PATRICK has his birthday today. He is 41 YEARS OLD TODAY. Needs a nice wife, enquires welcomed.. Catherine Quin -----Original Message----- From: ConnorsGenealogy [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 17 March 2005 3:42 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [ROLL CALL] ADMIN MSG - St. Pat's Day We have had three messages posted from three different parts of the world and I think that might be a good way to have a roll call for the next 24-48 hours. How about everyone, post a short message saying where they are living, anything going on in your area of note (not political), the weather and how they are going to celebrate the holiday. Happy St Patrick's Day from Sacramento CA. Nothing much going on here of any consequence. The weather is getting warmer, dryer and the trees are starting to blossom and little leaves are starting to pop out of the branches. Today I bought my corn beefs, potatoes and cabbages. However, our family will not celebrate until Saturday when many of us will get together for dinner, brown bread and soda bread. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by ZoneAlarm AntiVirus ==== IRELAND-ROLL-CALLS Mailing List ==== To Unsubcribe from L: mailto:[email protected] To Unsubscribe from D: mailto:[email protected] Put the single word 'unsubscribe' in the message subject and body

"Tis a Grand St. Patrick's Day on the Lake Erie Shoreline just west along the lake from Cleveland, Ohio. The ice is still hugging the shoreline, but p erhaps the temps will even break 40 degrees today! My genealogy wishes came true last fall when I met Daly/Dailey cousins in Skibbereen, Co. Cork and my Wallace cousins in the Parish of Kilmacow, Co. Kilkenny. Still searching for Minihane from Ballyally, Co. Cork; Butler from Co. Kilkenny; and Ball from Dublin. Keep searching for the genalogy pot of gold! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Jean
