I am trying to break down the brick wall as far as my g g grandparents are concerned. They were all before 1864! I have a copy of a letter from a cousin of my grandfather whose address is given as Priestfield. I can find no trace of Priestfield only Priestown. I am presuming that Priestfield was the name of her farm. According to his birth certificate my grandfather - Francis Starrett was born on Twentyninth March 1879 at Killian in the District of Malin in the Union of Inishowen in the county of Donegal. His father was Francis Starrett - Killian mother Sarah Jane Starrett formerly Fulton. His father was a Farmer. The Entry No of his birth certificate is "428 in the Register Book of Births of the above District deposited in my Office (Workhouse, Carndonagh)." Francis died in South Africa on 8 November 1961. Sarah Jane Fulton's death certificate No 137 in the Register Book of Deaths (Workhouse Carndonagh) states that her date of death was Twentyninth November 1914 Killian Widow of a Farmer, age 69 years. She died of heart disease - no medical attendant and the informant was Mary Ann McIntyre, sister, present at death at Killian. Mary Anne was obviously illiterate because "X" was her mark. The death was registered on 12 December 1914. Will I still find the "Workhouse" in Carndonagh? I presume that it is no longer called the Workhouse but would it be the records office? Can anyone help?

Check for Catholic records in U.S. search. Most who emmigrated from Ireland early were of that faith, unless they lived in the little section King Jamey tried to convert to Protestanism, and started the whole blame Sien Fien mess! There are two definite concentration places to start - Boston and New York City, both of which had high concentrated Irish neighborhoods. Public Libraries of both should be able to give you a diocese address to which you can write. It would be a start anyway. ----- Original Message ----- From: "norman behan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2003 11:47 PM Subject: Re: [IRL~ROOTS] [Fwd: Monahan] > Dick > > What I have been told is do has much search in the States has possible.

Dear Lister's. My name is EDWARD FELSTEAD and I live in West Lancashire,England. I am searching for my G-G-Grandfather - WILLIAM PHEALSTEAD/FEALSTEAD/FELSTEAD who was born in "AMERICA-BRITISH SUBJECT" in 1838/39. On his marriage certificate in Chester,England his name is given as PHEALSTEAD but on the 1861 census it is FEALSTEAD. The ONLY place I have ever seen the spelling FEALSTEAD is a reference to a GEORGE K FEALSTEAD from TYRONE,IRELAND. This ref (given below) is in TORONTO,CANADA. However I have found further refs to FELSTEAD connections to IRISH people in CANADA and these are also listed below. I am posting to the list in the hope that someone,somewhere may recognise one or more of these names and maybe help me track down my long lost ancestor. I apologise for such a long posting but I hope you will be sympathetic as I have really run out of places to look. Thank you for reading this posting Best wishes Edward Here are the references I have found to date - SAMUEL H. DEFRIES was born in Toronto, being the son of Robert Defries, a native of Devonport, County of Devon, England, who came to Little York, now Toronto, in 1829. The latter was for thirty-six years Postmaster in the Legislative Assembly, and after Confederation occupied the same position in the House of Commons, till his death in 1871. He died at his residence on Old Mill Road, and was buried by the York Pioneers, of which body he was a member. His wife was Susan, daughter of George K. Fealstead, from Tyrone, Ireland, by whom he had a family of six sons, viz.: Richard, Robert, George, Samuel, John and Mark; the last named was shot at Ridgeway, during the Fenian Raid of 1866, being at that time Corporal in No. 3 Company, Queen's Own Rifles. The subject of this sketch, Samuel H., at the age of fourteen went on a whaling voyage in the ship Navigator, of Edgartown, Mass., U.S., which occupation he followed seven years, then returned to Toronto, and has since been in the employ of the Grand Trunk Railway Company. In 1859, he married Sophia, daughter of George Ernest, of Toronto, by whom he has one child, a daughter. The only other surviving member of the family of Robert Defries is Richard, the eldest son.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Monahan Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 17:07:54 -0600 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Dear list, I am trying to trace my roots back to Ireland. My g-grandfather was Christopher Monahan from Dublin, but I don't know if it's the city of Dublin or the county?? Also he married Mary Ann Healy who came over as a young child(age 10) from Dublin. they married in NY but I don't know when or where. There is a Charles and MaryAnn Healy buried in the family plot but we don't how they were related to Mary Ann. The first child on record was born 1857, so they were both here by then, also there are numerous Patterson's buried in the plot, I suspect they are related and from Ireland too. Any ideas on how I can trace them back to ireland, I ahve'nt been able to find either of them on any ships list. anita
Hi Jim, I too started with the "charts" thing about 18 months ago with great enthusiasm, however, that quickly waned because the information is so static and boring. As a Christmas gift for my family I decided to "write" about the family and the times they lived in as well as including dates and place names and pictures, etc. when I had them. Writing about the farm where they lived, the church they attended (both of which I got to visit in June), having a cousin write about what life was like as a boy in Ireland in a somewhat rural area in this century, really made the family "come alive" for me and the others I gave the book to for Christmas. It was about 50 pages when I was done and everyone read it from cover to cover which really thrilled me. I don't think "charts" no matter how much time and research go into them can convey the same feelings or sense of their having been real people. Good luck with your project.

Hi Donna, O'Kane is from the Milesian tribe of Hy Nial. The founder was Nial Noy Giollach of the nine hostages, King of Ireland 379 A.D. O'Kane, ancient name "Cahane", founder of family Eogan son of Nial Noy Giollach, ancestor of the northern Hy Nails. The name meant "Beloved", the chief's title was Prince of Keenaght , and their county was Londonderry. Other spellings that might be related to the family are O'Cahane and Cahane from the same area.

Hi Jim, My husband's aunt had this book privately reprinted in 1965 as a gift for her family because she was an avid genealogist her entire life. The original book is titled "A Genealogical History of the Milesian Families of Ireland with the Monument to Brian Boroimhe: The Chart of The Armorial Bearings of the Same Families" compiled and edited by B.W. DeCourcy, published by W.F. Overdiek and M.L. Riegel, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1880. I assume the original book was long out of print when she had it reproduced. It is a small book, about 75 pages, comprised mainly of lists with no source material cited and very brief information about the names mentioned, but it is fun to read through. I agree about the Four Courts fire, if only we had a Time Machine and could go back before the fire, it would make the search for our families so much easier, but then would each new puzzle piece be as exciting when we find it? Good luck in your search, if I stumble across anything else I will post it. Maryann Jim Cassilly wrote: > Maryann, where o where does that leave me???? I'm laughing.

Maryann, where o where does that leave me???? I'm laughing. See my website, www.cassilly.org , under "Origins" on the menu, where my ggrandfather, Bernard E. Cassilly wrote a manuscript in 1890 pinpointing his home half-way between Keady in Co. Armagh and the Monaghan border, a distance of about ten miles. Also, his and his parents' names were spelled "CassiLy" in Ireland (verified by a genealogist), but were changed to "CassiLLy" when they migrated to the US! I have, under "Origins" on the menu, a positive, verified transcript of "James 1 Inquisition at Armagh" in 1607 saying that the O'CassiLy sept from Co. Armagh has been a long and faithful subject of the Bishop, so they could stay on their land! O that darn fire at the Four Courts in 1922 which destroyed the repository of all the ancient Irish records! It won the independence of the Irish Republic, but why, o why did it have to happen at that repository????? I'm still laughing. This genealogy is so much fun. May I ask what is the name of that book and where I could get a copy, if possible? Would you kindly tell me if there is any more info in that book about the Cassilly family and where they migrated from? Some other variants of my name include CassiLy, CassALy, CassELy, CassERLy, etc. Would that book have anything to say about these names? Thanks!

Hi Paula, >From a book on old Irish names: 1. O'Nowlan, ancient spelling Nuallan, were prevalent in County Carlow. 2. O'Nowlan, ancient name Nowlan, were from Donegal and Londonderry.

Just a bit of trivia you may find of interest. I have a book on old Irish names and there is a Cassilly family name, no Casserly, which was descendent from the Normans. Earliest immigration to Ireland is listed as 1647, with main counties of family residence being Dublin and Cork.
