I really don't know. I am open to any leads for either one. Jane McGLASHEN was married to John HATCH. Their son, John Alexander HATCH was born 27 Feb. 1842, most likely in Mokena, Will Co. IL. He married 16 May, 1866 (probably in Mokena. Will Co. IL). His wife was Nancy Matilda McGOVNEY, born 19 Oct 1848 in Mokena, Will Co. IL. Her parents were Ozias McGOVNEY and Matilda Jane ELSWORTH. Any connections?

Hi Everyone, I’m in central Queensland, Australia, I haven’t stepped outside to see what’s doing here, (working working), it’s very hot (about 34 degrees celsius) and I’m catching up with an Irish friend as my celebration!

We're celebrating Saint Pat's Day in Madison WI without a predicted snow, and only a hint of green turf. My version of Irish soda bread has golden raisins and mixed dried fruit plus fennel seed, a lovely recipe-- if I can find it. Luck of the Irish has been with us this year, having finally led us to our connection to George M. Cohan's grandmother Jane Scott in Springfield MA. Her 1897 death record lists parents William Scott and Jane /Mary Jane Carroll, both of Co. Cork. "No rest for the wicked," as my grandmother would say, since that find prompted further questions! Hoping for a good year for searching and sharing more on my Mahoney, Regan, Herlihy and Scott lines with Moore, Killian / Kilrain, Reynolds, and other Massachusetts, Rhode Island and California cousins. Wishing we were in Inchigeela today, whatever the weather, Barb Glassel

Happy St Paddy's Days from New Jersey. It might make 40 degrees today. But it is bright & sunday. Today marks the end of St Paddy's day season. It Starts with Belmar, NJ parade on March 6, more parades the following weekend in more then a dozen towns & ending today with the NYC parade. Too all those paved the way for me. The Dalys, McGuckins, Sullivans, Ryans, Kellys, Bennetts, Sheridans, Farrellys, Farleys, Welshs, Keatings, Fitzpatricks, Flynns. All from Ireland.

Hello, Jane: I know you--and this list--will be deluged with recipes; but here's mine. Cheers, Jude Irish Soda Bread 4 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 Tablespoon caraway seeds (I add more) 3/4 cup raisins 2 cups whole buttermilk Pre-heat oven to 375. Mix all dry ingredients. Add raisins and get them well coated with the flour mixture. Add buttermilk. Mix well. Turn out on a lightly floured board and knead gently for a minute or two. Bake in a buttered loaf pan at 375 for 50 minutes If you cannot get whole buttermilk, use the low fat but cut in a dollop of butter before adding the seeds. I know that on occasion she used evaporated milk instead of buttermilk and I am pretty sure that if you do that you have to use Baking POWDER. The raisins are optional; people couldn't always find them "in the old days."

Greetings from cloudy and cool suburban Philadelphia! Hoping the luck of the Irish and the fact that this special day was also the birthday of my great-grandmother will lead me to some more clues about her! BRIDGET CONWAY was born 17 March 1873 in Ireland and came to the U.S. as a young child. Her parents were Patrick and Bezie CONWAY and they settled in Scranton, PA. I have no idea where in Ireland Bridget and her family were from but there is a chance it could have been somewhere in Mayo. I have been unsuccessful in finding this family in the U.S. census or on any ship's list. Bridget married FRANK STEINBRECHER in Scranton on 25 June 1897. They had 2 children and Frank passed away in 1905. Bridget then married PATRICK IGOE in Scranton on 10 Dec 1908. Bridget died 8 August 1942 in Scranton. Time to go to the market to pick up the makings for our traditional Irish Beef Stew and Soda Bread feast!

This is my St. Patrick's Day gift to all of you . . . Just one year ago today I was diagnosed with Hereditary Hemochromatosis. It is also referred to as "THE IRISHMAN'S DISEASE." One in four people of Irish descent either have it, or are carriers of the mutant chromosomes. Since most folks on this listserv have Irish ancestors within the past seven generations, you are at high risk of either having this, or passing it on. We have already lost several relatives to the affects of this disease, so I just want to do my part to call your attention to this. You are also at risk if your ancestors came from England, or Northern Europe. Here is what it is: Iron overload. People with HH absorb up to 10 times more iron than normal, then do not expel it. The only way to control it is with therapeutic phlebotomies (giving blood). HH can cause diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, etc. The organs literally fill up with iron and solidify, causing major organ failure. We have lost way too many relatives in their late 50s and early 60s, AND NO DOCTOR EVER CHECKED FOR THIS EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE MOST COMMON HEREDITARY DISEASE IN THE COUNTRY! The DNA test for this is simple, or perhaps your doctor is smart enough to catch this, as was mine. During a regular blood test it was noted that my iron count was high, and although I felt smug and sort of like Popeye, my doctor said that too much iron is worse than too little, and that she wanted to do a DNA test. Next was a liver biopsy (which showed that my liver was on it's way to permanent damage). After three months of giving a pint of blood a week, my iron count is now back to normal, although I have to have it checked frequently, and my liver is back to normal. All three of my children are carriers, as is my husband. Good Luck, and God Bless.

It is cold and rainy here in Charlotte in the Piedmont of North Carolina. Snow up in our mountains. March is a temperamental and unpredictable month here in the US. My youngest son Michael was born on the first day of spring in 1967, so we always remember the first day of spring. Will celebrate tonight with my sons Paul, Patrick, Michael and my daughter Robin. Paul is cooking the corn beef and cabbage. I always get gifts from my children for St. Patrick's Day. Wonderful! Any relatives out there in Kilcar, County Donegal? My Grandfather was Patrick McShane from Kilcar. Would like to correspond with any cousins that we may have in that area. My Grandfather Patrick's parents were John McShane and Bridget O'Donnell. Bridget O'Donnell was from Churchtown. Patrick had siblings, Mary, Bridget, Annie, Kathleen and John. My Grandfather immigrated to the US (Brooklyn, NY) with his sisters Kathleen and Bridget. Have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day everyone! Nina Cobb

Happy St Patrick's Day to all, from dull overcast Dorset England. No general celebrations here in a few Pubs they will be celebrating tonight. Wish I was still living in Ireland. Eireann go Brach !

Greetings from Placerville California. It is about 46 degrees here this A.M. Crispy - the way I like it. Believe it or not - this is the first year (out of 71) that I haven't had corn/beef and cabbage on THE DAY. However, I will have it this weekend. I am searching for Raney (could be Rainey or Riney) and Longs and so far have not had much luck at all but I'm a novice at this. Sure is fun searching isn't it? Wish I had listened more when relatives talked.....I'm writing everything down so at least my children will know about me.

Several mention home made Irish Soda Bread and Brown Bread. Purchased the supplies while in Ireland but failed to ask the B&B landlady for an easy recipe. Anyone want to share an easy recipe with me? Jane Brown

A Warm St. Patrick's Day Wish to all from Connecticut. I looked outside the window this bright sunny mornin' only to discover yellow shamrocks growing in my garden!?!?! Or at least that is what I told my 5 year old grand daughter. There really crocus, but I'm not tellin' any different story for now, there shamrocks (the blarney doesn't fall far from the tree). On March 17th I take a few minutes to think about my gr. grandfather who immigrated to the US in 1877 and was a leader in the Bridgeport, CT. Irish community. Because of his strong Irish self, which he passed on to each of us, I went in search of my Ireland families and now enjoy each one of them. The man that he was, died March 17, 1939. That says it all, doesn't it. Enjoy the holiday, Jilly Researching: Murphy/Dullea/Regan/Crowley/O'Connell and many more from Dunmanway, Cork.

Another Happy St. Pat's Day greeting from the Chicago, IL area, where it is cloudy, snow flurries north of the city of Chicago, and chilly -- about normal for Chi-town! :-( I love the music of "Seven Nations" and have been lucky to hear them play twice! Carole Carr Magnuson Searching: HANLEY and WHITE surnames -- probably Co. Roscommon, and LEE in Northern Ireland. LEE to Ontario, Canada ca. 1853; HANLEY & WHITE to Milwaukee, WI, USA, during the famine -- not found in the "Famine Immigrants" series. In a message dated 3/16/2005 10:07:57 P.M.

Happy St Ptricks Day!! 50 % and sunny [at least part of the day] in northern Ohio.] I getting ready to get my corned beef dinner started. I'm researching the Hall, McAuley and Tate familys in Antrim County, particularly in Loughguile Parish. They left about 1845 and settled in Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada. The Hall's then moved to the thumb of Michigan about 1862. Ruth Hall

Happy St. Patricks from here in sunny Rome, Italy, we have a nice small Irish community. A group of us are going to the Irish pub for lunch, then to the Ambassador of Ireland to Italy after work for the celebration of St. Patricks. In Rome, we have an Irish Club and a yearly Celtic Ball in celebration of St. Patricks, which will be on Saturday 19th. Looking for surnames TRACY, BUTLER (Kilkenny), LEITH, JOHNSTON, CRAIG, NICHOLL (Antrim Co)

Hi I'm new to this but wanted to wish everyone a happy day! It's a beautiful sunny day in Cincinnati, Ohio we are even going to break the 50 degree mark! I am looking for St. John (County Cork?) William St. John migrated to U.S. in 1880's. Any info greatly appreciated! Jen

Searching for: BRADLEY (BROADLEY) around Strabane, Co. Tyrone DE AZELEY around Corballey and/or Drumskinney, Co. Tyrone McQUEY - possibly Co. Monaghan RODGERS - possibly Co. Monaghan Cheers! Betty (in sunny/rainy Delta, BC, Canada)

Yesterday I saw a florist's lighted message sign here in suburban Chicago. It read "Erin Go Brau". I guess the author was thinking of green beer! Bonnie

This is the Day of the Green...beer, whatever. Everyone in the predominantly Italian part of St. Louis, including Dog Town is Irish today! In fact nowhere in the world can I think of more wanna bees. Had corned beef, cabbage, etc. Tuesday because of daughter's work schedule, but sure am enjoying the left-overs. What could be better? Sun is shining even if a bit cold, but we are lucky because the Sun comes on a bi-daily basis....one day cloudy and dark with the next being sunny and bright. Of course then there is the marked temperature changes. One never knows what to wear, but today the choice should be GREEN for everyone, including those wanna bees! Looking in Limerick area for Hanrahan of which I think the "wee ones" brought and then took away as no trace can be found. Also in the same area...looking for different family...Bresnahans in same area. Still another branch of my family is McGrahan from Dublin or Belfast. Name was changed to Green when she came to America about 1821 at age 16 as a stow-a-way ! Will be visiting Limerick and other parts of Ireland in May. Wish me luck on finding a glimmer of information! Nora in Webster Groves, a "burb" of St. Louis, MO USA
