SNIPPET: Genealogy is made all the more interesting against a background of events during a particular time period. In 1930, one out of every five Americans owned a car, the U. S. population was 122.7 million and life expectancy of the average American was 61 years. The median age for all living Americans at that time was 26.4. More than 1,300 banks closed in 1930. Fred MacMURRAY sings a song by George OLSEN and His Music: "I'll have to see my broker/Find out what he can do./'Cause I'm in the market for you." More than 14 million Americans are foreign-born, the highest number there will be in the United States for another six decades. The planet Pluto is discoverd by a 24-year-old astronomer Clyde TOMBAUGH. An article on bridal showers suggests that guests hunt for souvenirs: "such things as a ten-cent wedding ring, toy wash-boards and other articles suggestive of marriage and housewifery." The first installment of the comic strip "Blondie" appears. Grant WO! OD paints 'American Gothic." William Harrison HAYS, then president of the industry-created Motion Picture Producers and Distributors, established a production code to regulate the use of profanity, the depiction of sexual behavior and the treatment of material deemed to be unpatriotic. Throughout the 30s and 40s producers lobbied HAY's office repeatedly for the right to include certain material in their films. In 1931 between 4 and 5 million Americans are unemployed. "The Star-Spangled Banner" is made the national anthem by an act of Congress. Two white women claim they had been sexually assaulted onboard a freight train in AL. Despite scant evidence, nine black youths, who will become known as the Scottsboro boys (because the trial takes place in Scottsboro, AL) are convicted. Al CAPONE is ordered to pay a $50,000 fine and more than twice that in back taxes and is sentenced to 11 years in prison for tax evasion. James CAGNEY crushes a grapefruit into his girlfriend's face in the film "The Public Enemy." President Herbert HOOVER takes a 20 percent pay cut. In 1932 Franklin Delano ROOSEVELT is elected president after promising a "new deal" for the American people. On NBC and CBS, prices can now be mentioned in radio commercials. Popular songs include Jay GORNEY and E. Y. HARBURG's "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime," Irving BERLIN's "Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee," and Cole Porter's "Night and Day." The body of kidnapped baby Charles LINDBERGH, JR. is found in the woods near his parents' home. Radio City Music Hall, Skippy peanut butter, and Zippo lighters are new. Moving to radio, "New York Daily Mirror" columnist Walter WINCHELL begins his entertainment news and gossip show with the words, "Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America, and all the ships at sea." In 1933 at New York's Cotton Club, 16-year-old Lena HORNE makes her debut. FDR broadcasts his first "fireside chat." Gasoline costs 18 cents a gallon. Wtih its billboard inviting customers to "sit in your car, see and hear movies," the first drive-in movie theater opens, in Camden, NJ. Prohibition is repealed. Formerly found in packs of cigarettes, baseball cards are now packaged with gum as well. Like many scientists in Germany, Albert EINSTEIN fled the Nazis to come to America. He accepted a teaching post at Princeton University in 1933 and remained there until his death. In 1934, in separate incidents, Bonnie PARKER and Clyde BARROW, John DILLINGER, Baby Face NELSON, and Pretty Boy FLOYD are all gunned down. Interestingly, six weeks earlier, notorious Clyde Champion BARROW, had written from Tulsa, OK to Henry FORD in Detroit, MI: "Dear Sir: While I still have got breath in my lungs I will tell you what a dandy car you make. I have drove Fords exclusively when I could get away with one. For sustained speed and freedom from trouble the Ford has got every other car skinned, and even if my business hasen't been strickly legal it don't hurt enything to tell you what a fine car you got in the V8." In 1935, Louisiana's governor, 42-year-old Huey LONG is shot to death by Dr. Carl Austin WEISS. The Works Progress Adminstration is created by an executive order. The Social Security Act becomes law. Massive dust storms ravage the prairie states. Alcoholics Anonymous is founded by Bill WILSON and Dr. Robert H. SMITH. Pan American Airways becomes the first airline to serve hot meals in the air. In 1936, Margaret MITCHELL's first and only novel "Gone With the Wind" sells a million copies in six months. The Waring Blender and "The Joy of Cooking" are introduced. In 1937, Amelia EARHART disappears over the Pacific Ocean. The German airship Hindenburg explodes over Lakehurst, NJ. San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge is opened. In gratitude for their increased sales, American spinach growers erect a six-foot-tall painted statue of the comic-strip character Popeye in Crystal City, TX. In 1938, tanks are set up outside Gimbel's department store so swimmeres can show that the newly invented ballpoint pen will write underwater. In spite of four explanatory announcements during the show, panic sweeps the nation when Orson WELLES, 23, and his Mercury Theatre broadcast a radio version of "War of the Worlds," complete with reports of "poisonous black smoke ... death rays (and) monstrous Martians." In 1939, acclaimed black contralto Marian ANDERSON, denied the right to perform in Constitutional Hall, sings before 75 thousand people at the Lincoln Memorial. "Gone With the Wind," "The Wizard of Oz," "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, " "Dark Victory," and "Wuthering Heights" are among the fine movies released. Baseball can be seen on television for the first time. Frank SINATRA is hired by bandleader Harry JAMES as lead vocalist. It takes 22 hours (and $675 per passenger, round trip) to cross the Atlantic Ocean on Pan Am's new commercial Clipper service. The Perisphere and the Trylon grace the New York World's Fair and become symbols of the optimistic theme "Building the World of Tomorrow." -- Excerpts, "Letters of the Century, America 1900-1999," eds.

Hi Judy, I don't know if there is a connection. I believe Rosemary CLOONEY, who died in 2002, had five children by her first husband, actor Jose FERRER.. Some interesting bits from her recent autobiography, "Rosemary Clooney, Girl Singer," can be found on the Internet. There was Irish on both sides of her family - her father was Andrew CLOONEY, a house painter, and her mother was Frances GUILFOYLE. Rosemary was born in Maysville, KY, about 60 miles up the Ohio River from Cincinnati. She and her sibs often lived with relatives as they were growing up. She seems to have been close to her grandmothers. Besides her sister, Betty, she also had a brother, Nick. Some of her uncles were musical. With her "glowing" personality and lovely, medium-range voice, she was quite successful although she apparently never took voice lessons or could even read music. One of her songs that I particularly liked was "Tenderly." Her nephew is actor George CLOONEY.

Jean, you said Rosemary Clooney had several children. Would one of them have been Andy Clooney, the singer of the Irish song mentioned on this list a few days ago? Or did I miss parat of the thread? Thanks, Judy Dawe

SNIPPET: Rosemary CLOONEY (b. 1928) started to career in 1945 teamed with her sister Betty singing duets on WLW Radio in Cincinnati. Discovered by bandleader Tony PASTOR, they joined his band in 1947 as the Clooney Sisters. When Betty dropped out after two years of a grueling road tour, Rosemary made for New York, where she signed a recording contract with Columbia Records. Her first hit, "Beautiful Brown Eyes," sold a half million copies in 1950, but it was her 1951 recording of the novelty song "Come On-a My House" that launched CLOONEY to stardom. Six more hits followed in the next two years and in 1953 she landed on the cover of 'Time" magazine. She began an acting career and hosted her own television show from 1956 to 1957. Unfortunately, a collaboration with Duke ELLINGTON and BILLY STRAYHORN (Blue Rose), while artistically acclaimed, sold poorly. A second album of love song with trombonist Nelson RIDDLE was quashed by Columbia. Add to that the growing popular! ity of rock and roll and CLOONEY's career went into steep decline, as did her personal life. The bigget blow came in 1968 while campaigning for Robert KENNEDY. Standing just a few feet away from KENNEDY when he was fatally shot, CLOONEY suffered a breakdown. This spunky mother of many children eventually mounted a comeback in the mid-1970s, touring with Bing CROSBY. In 1977 she teamed with former 1950s singing stars (Margaret WHITING, ROSE MARIE, and Helen O'CONNELL) to become "Four Girls Four" They toured for six years before CLOONEY went solo again and continued to record and perform in concert. . --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

SNIPPET: In an article by Liam ROBINSON (photos by Ibar CARTY) in the Sept-Oct 1989 issue of "Ireland of the Welcomes" magazine, one finds that when Harry WEBSTER, of Britain's National Theatre Company, and one-time Abbey actor, was location manager for film director John FORD, he discovered that there were stage coaches, gigs and brakes hurtling around Hollywood sets that had been built in far-off Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford. Apparently American actor James CAGNEY, owned an Enniscorthy carriage, and was an expert at driving a four-in-hand.. In 1989, Enniscorthy, on the River Slaney, an excellent salmon water, had not change much down through the centuries. Its square-towered keep, rebuilt around 1586, was in perfect condition and was for a time owned by the English poet, SPENSER. Not far from the river-bank were the works where the BREEN family still made their carriages and coaches. This family was practising the same craft when Napoleon III capitulated and 108,000 of his army were taken prisoner or surrendered. From Co. Wexford, carriages had found their way to the places where the west was won, to continental Europe, and the Japanese had more recently discovered this elegant Irish alternative to the internal combustion engine for occasions of ceremony or leisure. On its way to the Far East in 1989 was the landau, a fastidious-looking canoe on wheels which British monarchs had used for generations to tour the race course of Royal Ascot. A fine specimen of Wexford craftsmanship, it was destined for use by the Japanese Racing Association, which commissioned the vehicle through Irishman, Jack DOYLE, working in Japan. In Enniscorthy, Colum BREEN, the man in charge, said that "they could make every conveyance to which a horse or horses could be harnessed.". People who owned horse-drawn vehicles were of the same temperament as vintage car collectors, frowning on the mass-produced article. Craftsmen like BREEN said that they could easily recognise the characteristics of each other's work as clearly as if it was autographed. BREEN insisted that coach-building was actually five trades in one: that of the wheelwright, the body-builder, the coach-painter, the upholsterer and the coachsmith who made the metal back-bone, axles, turn-table, frame and steps for the carriage. He said that a man was skilful, indeed, if he could emerge with this conglomeration of crafts and be able to call himself a coachbuilder after seven years. Elm was being used for the centre of the coach-wheel because it was regarded as a 'rubbery' wood, resilient ash for the rim, and stout-hearted oak for the spokes. Ten to twelve coats of paint were applied to the body-work, brushed on rather than sprayed to give a mirror-like finish. The gig, which the BREENs made and which were once favoured by the clergy and doctors, is a 17th century English invention, and its fore-runner was the French caleche or chaise, a word corrupted in America to 'shay.' Partially a family business at the time -- pictured are master craftsman Colum BREEN being assisted by his niece, Bridgeen BROOKS, Billy BROOKS, Michael WILDES, Pat SLUDDS, Tommy FENLONand Anthony LYNCH. Perhaps the BREENs are still in business today? . --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

AnneMarie, Do you know where your Dunne and McManus families are from? My husband's gg grandmother, Ellen Dunn, married John FitzGerald in Kildorrery RC Church in Cork in 1824. We have no other info on the Dunns. My great grandmother was Rose McManus from County Down. She married John Grant of Drumboniff townland Clonduff CP before 1850 (that when Clonduff RC Church records began). I've not noticed any McManuses in Clonduff parish but did in Kilcoo parish which borders Clonduff CP. Drumboniff townland actually borders the townlands of Kilcoo CP. I just noticed the Leonard name. My maternal grandparents (John Grant and Rose Morgan) settled in Pittsburgh, PA in 1906. My grandfather's two sisters, Roseann and Margaret Grant married two brothers, Richard and Patrick Quinn in 1891 in Pittsburgh. The Quinns had a sister Bridget who married Martin Leonard in Pittsburgh in 1880. Any connection? Thanks.
