Dear Jean Recently, while researching my Irish ancestors, I came across an "ebook" published on the website www.gutenberg.org/etext/14764 . The title was "Illustrated History of Ireland from AD400 to 1800" written by Mary Frances Cusack and first published in 1868. The full text can be downloaded for FREE. I found it very enlightening, especially on the land laws of the 19th century at the time when so many of Ireland's landless poor were emigrating to the US, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Your readers may wish to access this book. Another useful websource is the CMCR (Christening, Marriage, Cemetery Records) Project which can be accessed at www.cmcrp.net . I was able to find some very detailed records of my Bandon, Co. Cork ancestors which had been very carefully and thoroughly researched, and which I was able to follow up with my own investigations.

FYI: Passing this along from another Irish e-mail list: "Irish Times" newspaper archive (beginning March 1859) is available online for free until April 6, 2009. www.irishtimes.com/150

SNIPPET: The first three decades of the 19th century saw a wave of immigration of Irish Protestants, most of them from Ulster, who arrived with skills and at least enough money to establish a business or buy a piece of land. Many were weavers, blacksmiths, stonecutters, and tailors, and they knew nothing of the hardship, deprivation, and discrimination that the next generation of Irish immigrants would face. Nor did they share the hard life of the pioneer Ulster Protestant Irish who had preceded them. In the 17th and 18th centuries, these immigrants had fanned out into the wilderness of Appalachia and the Blue Ridge Mountains, carving farms out of the rugged terrain rather than settling in the cities of colonial America. From these pioneering farming families came familiar names from early American history, including Daniel BOONE, the son of Ulster immigrants. For the skilled Irish immigrants, most of them Protestant, who arrived at the beginning of the 19th century, America was everything it was promised to be. Their view of the New World was summed up by John DOYLE, who arrived in NY in 1818 and described his adopted land as a fine country and a much better place for a poor man than Ireland." Adjustments were necessary, he noted, and life surely was different; still, "an enterprising man is allowed to thrive and flourish without having a penny taken out of his pocket by government; no visit from tax gatherers, constable or soldiers."

SNIPPET: An article on Bandon, Cork, by Alannah HOPKIN was featured in the Sept/Oct 2005 issue of Dublin's "Ireland of the Welcomes" magazine, accompanied by no less than twenty-two photos. Bandon, the gateway to West Cork, was previously a place that tourists passed through, heading for Bantry or the villages around Roaring Water Bay. Where its neighbours on either side, Kinsale and Clonakilty, are fun, brightly-coloured little towns full of restaurants and bars, Bandon is the sober, sensible one, all grey cut stone, schools and churches. Today, you find a new energy in Bandon, renovation of old buildings, new businesses, apartment development, projects and ideas. Bandon developed on both north and south banks of the river. It was given two market houses, one on each side, and two Church of Ireland churches. The earliest, in Kilbrogan, dates from 1610, deconsecrated in 1973, and is now the state-of-the art West Cork Heritage Centre. Last year Bandon celebrated the 400th anniversary of its foundation, at which time President McALEESE unveiled a fine sculpture which symbolises wildlife along the Bandon River. While the town still abounds in quiet charm, (allowing visitors to experience the everyday life of the local people), education, location and recent renovation is attracting new residents and tourists. The two communities are no longer polarised as Nationalist and Loyalist, but work together on many levels. Location-wise, Cork City and Airport are just a few miles away. The coast at Coolmaine, near Kilbrittain, has sandy beaches, surfing and sailboarding. Rivers are excellent for game angling, and there is nearby deep sea angling. Tourists enjoy golfing on a course laid out around the ruins of Castlebernard, and the town offers gentle riverside walks, one of them following the tracks of the old West Cork Railway This line was closed in 1961. Bandon's railway station has been painted in red and white, the county's colors, and converted into Council Offices. The town has a little bookstore. On Monday's there is a busy cattle mart with farm stock auctioned - evidence of Bandon's position as the hub of a large rural community. . Elizabeth O'BRIEN, an Independent Town Councillor, is typical of the new generation. A daughter of Ivan McCUTCHEON, legendary headmaster of Bandon Grammar School from 1944-1972, she married a Catholic, her late husband, Dominic O'BRIEN. She and her husband were well-known fundraisers for the Chernobyl Children's Project. Bandon hosts about 25 children from the stricken area of Belarus each summer, giving them a much-needed break from their contaminated atmosphere. The Project is one of several charitable enterprises enthusiastically supported across the community. Per Elizabeth - Last October, during the Bandon400 celebration, there was a very symbolic and touching Ecumenical Service of Light. Services were held in each of the three churches - Catholic, Church of Ireland and Methodist, and then everyone proceeded down to the car park in the centre of town, carrying a flame from each Church. There were a few prayers, then one torch was lit from the three, and everyone turned around and shook hands. --- CIVIL PARISHES (1851) BANDON TOWN (CORK) KEY: Townland AKA Acres County Barony Civil Parish PLU Province: BANDON T. xx Cork, W.R.

THE HOME PLACE A little west along the road, on higher ground Beyond the Big Blue River, you can see the house And barns cut farmer-spare against the cobalt sky, A mile away across the level stand of beans. A century hasn't changed the home place much at all. The windows still throw back the light, defiant as A young girl's eyes when there's a secret to be kept, Here she was born, on this two hundred acre range, Where first her grandfather farmed and now her son, Where planting could be dry and easy; calving, wet And hard. How many suppers had she warmed again Because machinery quit out in the field before The work was done? Perhaps the peaceful kitchen knows The hunger laid to rest within its walls, all built, She says, her eyebrows up, with timbers taken when They tore the casket factory down. Folks made do then. She sold the house some years ago, but kept the land Because one doesn't trade her soul. Now living in The neighbouring woods behind, she's near enogh to hear The massive iron bell out on the shed. How rare it is To find a life so rooted to a single place, Just like the rugged elm beside the house today, Surviving prairie wind and summer lightning. She's Among the few whose vision of the world improves By standing still, by watching every harvest come. And if, in leaner years, she walked these rooms at night To battle with her ghosts, she must have cast them out. Her blessing shines. This is a house that's fit for life. -- With permission of author, Thomas Alan ORR, from "Hammers in the Fog," Restoration Press, Indianapolis, IN (1995). Tom's Scots-Irish ancestors have a connection to No. Ireland and to Orrs Island, Casco Bay, off the coast of ME

SNIPPET: Englishman Richard LOVETT's notes on his trip throughout Ireland in the Victorian era were published by the Religious Tract Society in 1888. On his travels, "keeping an open mind," in his own words, he came to respect and admire the culture and the people of Ireland and often stated that if his peers would take the time to visit the Emerald Isle "they, too, might have a different view of the Ireland and its people." Some of his notes are as follows: "Belfast is a capital centre for trips to noted towns and districts of Ulster. As in the case of Liverpool, Glasgow and other great ports, the growth of Belfast has been both recent and rapid. While in Belfast all the varied industries that necessarily centre in a city of over 200,000 inhabitants are to be seen in full activity, the stranger will naturally devote his attention to the two chief - the linen manufacture and ship-building. Armagh, one of the oldest towns in Ireland, and the seat of the most ancient Irish archbisphoric, is only a few miles distant. The town occupies the slope of a hill which is very finely crowned by the handsome pile of the Cathedral. The Roman Catholic Cathedral is also magnificently placed on Banbrook Hill. The narrow streets with their ancient appearance harmonize with the great antiquity of the place. They are clean and neat, and the whole town wears an air of prosperity and extreme respectability. St. Patrick's first church is now represented by the Bank of Ireland; the Provincial Bank comes close on St. Columba's; St. Bride's shares its honours with a paddock; St. Peter and St. Paul afford stabling to a modern 'rus in urbe'; and St. Mary's is lost in a dwelling-house. No city in Western Europe has been burnt or plundered more frequently. In very ancient days it was noted for Emania, the seat of Ulster sovereignty and of the Knights of the Red Branch, and later on for the Damhliag Mor or Great Church, built by Patrick, the great school or university, and the royal cemetery; but except the first none of these have any traces. The present cathedral, in all probability, stands on the site of the stone building which St. Patrick founded, and was begun about 1268. It has undergone many vicissitudes, and has been restored within comparatively recently years. It is well worth careful study, and it stands upon a site that for fourteen centuries has been consecrated to Christian worship. The Archbishop of Armagh is Primate of Ireland, and such men as USSHER, HOADLEY, and ROBINSON have held the office. A main line of rail runs to Londonderry, passing some famous and some very pretty places. At Antrim, there is a noted Round Tower, very perfect and standing in a beautiful park. Antrim Castle, near to the town, is one of the many celebrated Irish residences."

SNIPPET: Argentina provided a minor destination for Irish emigration during the 19th century, receiving a total of around 7,000 settlers up to 1870, and another 3,600 by 1895. The prominence among these settlers of migrants from Cos. Westmeath, Longford and Wexford suggests a classic pattern of chain migration, in which existing settlers encouraged and assisted the arrival of relatives and former neighbours. Up to circa 1870, Irish settlers were in many cases able to build up substantial cattle ranches in a rapidly expanding economy; thereafter this type of spectacular upward mobility became more difficult to achieve.

I have transcribed the tithe applotments for the Ballyadams Civil Parish (1824) and they are on the County Leix section of my website. This is a large tithe applotment with around 300 names, and includes many Whelans, Brennans, Dunnes, Fennells, Greenes, Kellys, Lalors etc. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

I have added the following County Kilkenny tithe applotments to the County Kilkenny section of my website: Ballycallan Civil parish, 1833 Ballybur Civil parish, 1828 The tithe applotments are much like the Giffith's Valuation, in that they only mention the head of the household, but they can give you an idea if you family lived there at that time period. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

SYDNEY Lying on a beach in Sydney, scorched and sore in the dry heat, the sand burns my toes. I wander back to drizzly days in Leitrim, when I paddled in my wellingtons in puddles on the farm where I grew up. Here, rain seldom falls, and only in quick downpours. I long for soft days and misty rain, to moisten my face. -- Mary Guckian, "Perfume of the Soil," Swan Press, Dublin (1999)

For the Chicagoans on the List -- CHICAGO Hog Butcher for the World, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler; Stormy, husky, brawling. City of the Big Shoulders. They tell me you are wicked and I believe them, for I have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys. And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes, it is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again. And they tell me you are brutal and my reply is: On the faces of women and children I have seen the marks of wanton hunger. And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer and say to them: Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning. Flinging magnetic curses amid the toil of piling job on job, here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the little soft cities; Fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning as a savage pitted against the wilderness, Bareheaded, Shoveling, Wrecking, Planning, Building, breaking, rebuilding. Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with white teeth, Under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young man laughs, Laughing even as an ignorant fighter laughs who has never lost a battle, Bragging and laughing that under his wrist is the pulse, and under his ribs the heart of the people, Laughing! Laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of Youth, half-naked, sweating, proud to be Hog Butcher, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Rail- roads and Freight Handler to the Nation. -- Carl Sandburg (1878-1967) - Celebrating Chicago's Past

I have added the following tithe applotments to the County Tipperary section of my website: Ballybacon Civil Parish, South Riding, 1827 Ballycahill Civil Parish, North Riding, 1834 Ballyclerahan Civil Parish, South Riding, 1831 The Tithe Applotments are much like the Griffith Valuation, in that they only list only the head of household. But they help to see if your family was living in the area at the time. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Barb, I am living in Ireland and just looked up my AA Road Atlas, and I couldn't find Glackenstown. It is a townland or a large area of land, rather than an actual town or village, and the closest 'real' town is Wilkinstown, not far from Navan.
