More Resources -- "Random Acts of Genealogy Kindness" website may have a volunteer to help you obtain documents, acquire photos of tombstones, look-ups in directories, etc. Just type that title in your browser in place of the URL. There are also cemetery look-up e-mail lists on the web via Rootsweb. Check out what Rootsweb has to offer in the way of e-mail lists. Also check out Cyndi's List of Genealogical Websites: http://www.cyndislist.com/ Google Searches are great! Best to use advanced search and put in a few keywords to limit number of hits and zero in on what you are looking for. Your genealogy library may have the Filby volumes. This set of several volumes contains data painstakingly transcribed by Mr. Filby from hundreds of old passenger lists of immigrants worldwide to the USA and Canada over a wide period of time ending circa early 1900s. Information is alphabetical by surname, contains names of traveling companions, destination, etc. Especially good for unusual surnames. Just remember to keep track of which volume you have looked in. You might want to photocopy pages (magnify?) take them home and look them over at your leisure. Microfilmed St. Albans VT emigration/immigration records at your local LDS (Mormon) Family History Center and archival libraries. Soundex Index to Canadian Border Entries Through The St. Albans, VT District (1895-1924) is film set M1461. (Note, I found some 1925, later info., as well!). Records stored in Vermont but pertain to aliens crossing the USA/Canadian border back and forth during that time period at any point along the ENTIRE border. Wonderful resource!! Can't praise it enough!!! Gives personal descriptions (color of eyes, hair, weight, scars, etc.) as well as last address, names and addresses of relatives in the "old" country and same at "intended destination." Names any ship involved in their travels, port, which can lead to another microfilm with original ship's manifest!! Information for entire time period can be found on one (at the most, two) soundexed by surname microfilms. Even if you don't think your families had any connection to Canada, you owe i! t to yourself to check these out.. I was surprised to find records on my England to USA family as they emigrated from England on steamers owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway, disembarked in Canada, immediately took CPR trains across Canada, entering USA at different points along the border. Records also generated when they returned to visit family left behind in England. Also found records on some family members when they went to Canada to marry, to work for short periods of time. The St. Albans record set is a little-known but wonderful resource for family info. If you have trouble locating at LDS FHC, try entering film number 1472801 into film field and it will bring up information on this set and others. USA Social Security applications - Even though the price has gone up to approx. $27 each, these records give valuable information on your relatives --i.e. circa 1936 addresses, employment, as well as birthdate, place of birth. Can find/order these on-line.

FOREVER Those we love truly never die, Though year by year the sad memorial wreath, A ring and flowers, types of life and death, Are laid upon their graves. For death the pure life saves, And life all pure is love; and love can reach >From heaven to earth, and nobler lessons teach Than those by mortals read. Well blest is he who has a dear one dead: A friend he has whose face will never change -- A dear communion that will not grow strange; The anchor of a love is death. The blessed sweetness of a loving breath Will reach our cheek all fresh through weary years. For her who died long since, ah! waste not tears, She's thine unto the end. Thank God for one dear friend, With face still radiant with the light of truth, Whose love comes laden with the scent of youth, Through twenty years of death. -- John Boyle O'Reilly (1844-1890)

Hi, I'm trying to find the civil registration district that would include Maam Cross but I can't find Maam Cross (or Maam) listed as a townland. Am I mistaken in thinking that Maam Cross is a town near Oughterard in County Galway? Eileen in the USA etprince@aol.com

I've had the same thing as this happen to me twice. It's a hoax. You can't just delete a virus from your computer. Unfortunately, the first time it happened, I was told to go into the 'regedit' folder and delete a file, which I was told later I shouldn't have done as it was a necessary file, and subsequently I had to re-install Windows. It's just another hoax.

Hi, Margaret, (See her post below). Be sure and post your information at a Rootsweb Message Board if you haven't already, as there are many researchers who are also researching both Regan & Murray surnames connected to their families. I saw a Tom Finn on the Internet who had connections to Finn's from townland Tully, Moore Parish, Co. Roscommon. (You said that your families had Roscommon and Sligo connections). One of his posts has been deleted, but if you click on his name you can read his other posts on Rootsweb Message Boards. If you had a Regan marriage in Boyle they may have had a child or two in that location, check out the LDS IGI index on line for mid 1860s-70s births. You can contact the LDS and request any further information they may have on their civil registration index, such as name of townland instead of registration district, etc. I believe you can request additional information they might have on up to eight entries for only two dollars total. Right off the top of my head I think that I would: 1. Contact all living relatives for pieces of the puzzle. 2 . Contact the Sullivan Co. NY Historical Society and ask if they have a volunteer who would gather documents on your family for a donation to their society, I have done this with amazing, amazing results! I got back marriage applications (not to be confused with marriage certificates) as these often had information on the parents of the bride and groom, also got back wills and b/m/d/ extracts, newspaper clippings, cemetary information, etc. Each document will provide more clues for you. Important -- To demonstrate your interest, first subscribe to the society's interesting periodical; you can look forward to each issue for details on the history of the county where your relative lived and you might even find a mention in the winter issue's everyname index of your family. You can also post a query in these fine periodicals that are seen by nonInternet researchers. Likely, the historical society will go "all out" to help you if you show interest in "their" county, and they are in the best possible position with their resources and knowledge to assist you. 2. Post a note to Rootsweb Message Boards, possibly on the Finn board. 3. Read all you can about your surnames in a good Irish surname book such as McLysaght. If there was a "Lady" Finn in Dublin, likely she were involved in some way with the Dublin Drama League, possibly as benefactor, and "Peggy" might be a Margaret. (Remember, there was a "Lady Gregory" who was connected to the Dublin theatre and benefactor to William Butler Yeats). Keep an eye out for references to Finns in Dublin who were in high society. 4. Go to your genealogy and public libraries and bring up the surname Finn on their computers and see if someone with a tie-in to your locations has written a biography or autobiography. 5. Read about Dublin theater, look at the index in the back of the books for any listing for Finn. 6. Check out the information on Ed Finn's Leitrim-Roscommon website. He is interested in these areas and may be able to assist you. Be sure and read the old archived notes, post a note with your surnames of interest, check out the databases. 7. The PERSI (Periodical Resource Index) CD and set of books in your genealogy library is an index to previously-published in-depth journal and periodical articles on a variety of families/surname, subjects, and locations. Using the PERSI to locate the name of a particular magazine and issue, you can then contact the Allen Co. Library, Ft. Wayne, IN, and request photocopies of same. 8. If you have a good idea of where in Ireland your family lived (from letters, etc.) contact the Valuation Office (Dublin); they are on the Internet. Using their cancelled land books, current land books, survey, tenure, field books and old maps, they may be able (for a fee) to trace all transactions on particular parcels of land from the time of the Griffiths evaluation (mid 1850s) to the present. 9. You can order microfilmed copies of USA newspapers (to look for obits. and death notices) as well as old USA county history books via your reference librarian. Order the newspaper for the two days following a death. Your librarian has a reference book that tells her the names of newspapers in operation in particular locations in particular years. If you don't have a definite death date, check out the microfilmed death indices at your local LDS FHC. They are divided by state and approximate 10-year increments. They will give you the name of the deceased, date of death, location of death, spouse's name, age at time of death, and best of all, the number of the death certificate. Regarding old USA county history books, you don't need the name of the author or book to order some of these with the help of the reference librarian. To my amazement I found two pages on one of my families in Indiana just because they were early settlers, belonged to particular agricultural, fraternal, religious societies, were school teachers, participated in the Civil War, etc. You could have knocked me over with a feather!

I have been lurking for a few days and now think I am ready to put a tantalizing mystery before you.

Dear fellow Dundons, Welcome to issue No. 5. I hope my new Yahoo email address will make me more accessible. I would be happy to hear from anyone with comments about The Dundonian or from anyone who would like to contribute something to it. I would appreciate record of any Dundon births, baptisms, marriages, deaths etc. The rains have come here to Yambio at last. The place is looking lush. I was in a compound a few days ago and saw mangoes, bananas, oranges, custard apple (Anona reticulata to you!) and coffee. But a Bic, an exercise book, a pair of decent shoes are not easily come by. I hope to visit the schools with the Education Secretary during May. We will bring some school materials for them, purchased with money given me when I was at home in Ireland last year. God bless, John. 1. MEET PATRICK DUNDON AND HONORA FITZGERALD Patrick Dundon and Honora Fitzgerald lived in Patrickswell, just outside of Limerick city.

THATCHER Bespoke for weeks, he turned up some morning Unexpectedly, his bicycle slung With a light ladder and a bag of knives. He eyed the old rigging, poked at the eaves, Opened and handled sheaves of lashed wheat-straw. Next, the bundled rods: hazel and willow Were flicked for weight, twisted in case they'd snap. It seemed he spent the morning warming up: Then fixed the ladder, laid out well honed blades And snipped at straw and sharpened ends of rods That, bent in two, made a white-pronged staple For pinning down his world, handful by handful. Couchant for days on sods above rafters He shaved and flushed the butts, stitched all together Into a sloped honeycomb, a stubble patch, And left them gaping at his Midas touch. -- Seamus Heaney "Pinning down his world, handful by handful" - what a wonderful line! The art of thatching is one of the oldest building crafts in the world and is still practiced widely in Ireland, England, Scandinavia and continental Europe, and to a less extent in the U.S. Materials used in thatching, including reed and straw, were first brought to the U.S. by Spanish traders in the 16th century. Thatched roofs were commonly used by the original settlers of MA, PA, and VA, and were widely used in the 1800s. William Cahill, a present-day thatcher from Cincinnati, OH, who grew up in Salthill, Co. Galway, has created thatched roofs across America for people's private homes, gardens, on a gazebo, for a guest cottage or barn. He points out that in the 1940s, roughly 70% of homes in Ireland had a thatched roof. Cahill states he gets his wheat straw (used on the ridging of the roof) from the Amish in Lancaster, PA, but sometimes it comes from Turkey or Holland. The reeds (used on the r! oof itself) comes from southern NJ and near Lake Erie. The scallops and hazelrods (employed to hold down the straw at the peak of the roof) comes from Ireland. "Just like Aran sweaters, whose designers use their own signature style, so do thatchers. I can tell in Ireland who did the thatching by their ridging at the very peak of their roof," said Cahill, who incorporates an upside-down shamrock as his trademark. -- Excerpt, "World of Hibernia"

THE MAN OF THE NORTH COUNTRIE He came from the North, and his words were few, But his voice was kind and his heart was true; And I knew by his eyes no guile had he, So I married the man of the North Countrie. Oh! Garryowen may be more gay, Than this quiet street of Ballibay; And I know the sun shines softly down On the river that passes my native town. But there's not -- I say it with joy and pride -- Better man than mine in Munster wide; And Limerick town has no happier hearth Than mine has been with my man of the North. I wish that in Munster they only knew The kind, kind neighbours I came unto; Small hate or scorn would ever be Between the South and the North Countrie. -- Thomas D'Arcy McGee (1825-1868)

Some time ago, I came across this listing: Townland of Ballymoran is on the water side of Killinchy Parish. Just off the coast is the island of Conley. For obvious reasons, I am interested in the island of Conley. Can anyone tell me where this is? Dave Conley

Offaly. It extends mostly in a north south direction, from nearly the Grand Canal on the north, to about two miles from Kilcormac to the south. It is all bog country. The Bord na Mona has a peat-harvesting operation in the townland, which has an extensive series of railway tracks for transporting the harvested turf.

I don't see a Dower or Hill House on my maps, but there are/were a Rathmoyle House and a Greenhills House in nearby townlands of the same names.

Hi Michelle, Per the IreAtlas -- There is both a Leabeg placename and a Ferbane placename in Co. Offaly (King's Co.) Ireland in the Province of Leinster, Poor Law Union of Parsonstown. It is possible that the former is a town and the latter a townland, so would be just one location. I don't know for sure. Some detective work on the Internet would give you the answer. (It is also possible that the landowner lived in more than one place). There is a large Leabeg townland area of of 751 acres in Co. Offaly, Civil Parish of Lemanaghan, Poor Law Union of Parsonstown. (It should be noted that there are Leabeg placenames also in Cos. Wicklow & Roscommon). There is a large Ferbane townland area of 356 acres Co. Offaly in the Civil Parish of "Wheery or Killagally," Poor Law Union of Parsonstown. (Check and see if this parish had a name change over the years, and check and see if there is a small town called Leabeg located in Ferbane townland. This would be my best guess. To complicate matters, there is also a Ferbane Town in Co. Offaly which is evidently partially in the Civil Parish of Gallen, partly in the Civil Parish of "Wheery or Killagally." This is also located in the Poor Law Union of Parsonstown. You could try some of those nifty map websites on the Internet you can zoom in and zoom out and move around to better define these locations. Look for Ferbane and go from there.

On the Index CD from FTM called Irish Source Records 1500-1800 I came across a marriage listing that was both sad and courageous, and it made me wonder ...is there a place called Norton anywhere that might house, or be a home for invalids? The names were Caledenhall and a "Miss" Tunney. It gave the date of the marriage and said "at Norton. Oct. 1802". But the part that caught my eye was the notation after the entry which said "(the bridegroom had only one arm, the bride used crutches, the groomsman had only one leg and the bridesmaid was blind)" This is what made me think "Norton" may have been a hospital or home for invalids. I hope they had a happy marriage, they deserved it. Michelle Wilson
