Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! And as my Mexican American Godfather always tells me "Prospero Ano y Felicidad" As internet genealogy and family history have grown, the number of "first timers" joining our lists has diminished and we don't see the huge numbers of new users that we used to see after the holidays. However, starting today, Santa, among others, will still have delivered new computers, internet service, and genealogy gifts (software). Thus, we may be seeing some new "rooters" on our lists. This is GOOD! But while you may see new cousins, friends, and contacts coming on-line, joining email lists, posting surnames to databases, they will be asking all those questions you have seen posted over and over again. Unfortunate as it may be, new users mean we have to reinvent the wheel. *Grin* Please welcome any "newbies" to our lists, have PATIENCE with them, help them and hopefully send them in the right direction. For a month or so it will be helpful if we can refrain from using a lot of initials and abbreviations in our responses. When discussing the FHC, let's all take a couple of seconds to type "Family History Center," and give an explanation of who, what, where, when. Please don't assume that EVERYONE knows what it is, or has one near them. I can't stress enough how important your patience and help is for the next month or two. Mistakes will be made, (like posting a message that is blank, or no subject line, or leaving entire digests in replies or my personal favorite, "Researching John Johnson. Send all information"!*LOL*) Questions will be asked like "What is the FHC, what is the SSDI, what is, can you explain, where do I find, etc...Remember that these were once OUR errors and OUR questions. We were all new once, and many current subscribers are still learning, so let's continue the spirit of cooperation throughout the year. This list is about helping each other. Let's be specific and clear in our responses to folks, and give a little extra in explanations. Also keep in mind that new subscribers may know little about computers, the internet, and genealogy, resulting in many extremely inexperienced researchers. If you see questions on the list regarding computers, software, etc. please respond to these questions off list if at all possible. REMEMBER these new researchers may have file cabinets full of information regarding YOUR own family tree, so let's be as cordial, helpful and informative as we can be! Stay warm, drive safely and may your day be Merry and Bright..... Beth Cherkowsky researching Bradley in Co. Donegal, Donahue/Donohue, Boylan, McHugh, Manning/Mannion & Forrester in Co.

It's that time of year again when we reflect on the past & look forward to another new year. We would like to take this time to wish all our friends a very Merry Xmas & a safe & Happy Holiday Season. Also big thanks to everyone who helped us locate new family members in Ireland. It has been quite the adventure . It has been so nice being able to finally put names to faces.We look forward to emails & letters. And we will be able to catch up on a past that has been lost for so long. It is wonderful to know we have made a connection with family we didn't know but we also made many new friends along the way from all corners of the globe.. Without your help we couldn't have done it. Please keep in touch. All the Best in 2006 June, Kent & Family Thunder Bay,Ontario Canada J & K Warren Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada

List I have a 3rd great grandmother born around 1800-1820 in Ireland. Her death certificate says that she was born in Ireland. Her maiden name was Mc Carroll or Mc Carl. I have seen it both ways. Can anyone pin this name down in Ireland where most of the people by this name would have come from. Also what clan they were or part of ? Mike Trowbridge USA

Looking for any information on Bernard Cullen (b. 1845-1849) who was born in Ireland. He came to the US around 1860-65 and settled in Philadelphia, PA. He married Catherine Kelly there in 1867 and raised three children before dying in Philadelphia in 1924. His death certificate lists his parents as John Cullen and Bridget Devenny from Ireland. I've seen one reference to Co Leitrim on some paperwork but have no other confirmation of his birth location in Ireland. Unable to find his ship passenger list. Merry Christmas to all... Jim Cullen http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jimcullen/

Dear Abby today she asked her readers to write their own history and to ask elderly relatives to do the same. What a great idea for next year's Christmas gift. Peace and many blessings to all my undiscovered realatives out there.......and to the wonderful people on the list who contribute such great help year 'round. Thanks.

Hi Judy, do you have any more info on your McClelland's? I have an Alexander b. 1807, in Ireland and married to an Eliza {Elizabeth} Morrison b. 1804 in Ireland, they both died in Ontario, Canada. She is the daughter of a William Morrison {no info on her mother}. Does this make any connection with your family?

I have been trying to a year to get info for my 6th great grandda John B McClelland, who was suppose to have been born in 1710, in Antrim, Ulster, N Ireland. But have hit brick walls continously.

Teri From what I am told, the McClellands/McClellan's are all related somehow or another. But I do not have much information on my McClellands from Antrim. I think after Christmas I am going to try and join a few of the Ireland sites, but not sure which ones. But I did get some information from Clan McClelland and I will check to see if there is an Alexander McClelland included. Have a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.

Hi Listers, I wonder, does anyone have any information about Nancy H. TYLER, who appears in a typed LDS transcript (for Ballykelly, Londonderry) as the mother of a *George*, christened 16 May 1809? He seems to be the George GERGISON I have, as born Londonderry, Ireland, 26 April 1809 ... would welcome any further information/comments about this link. Cheers, Lesley (Melbourne, Australia ... cooler here today, after a *hot* Friday)

Subject: [Irish-Roots] surnames I'm trying to compare the marriage records of 2 sisters to determine their mother's surname. One looks like Dowbey the other like Denolly or Denelly. I'm guessing Donolly. Is anone familiar enough with Irish surnames to make a good guess? In looking at the book Irish families by Edward MacLysaght I find the name O'Donnelly, but remember not everyone was well educated and spelled names the way they sounded to them.
