Hi, Just joined this particular list and trying to help someone out with tracing descendants. Here is his message to me: "One family William and Anne [nee McKenzie] Reid were farmers in Tullyroan Co Armagh. Anne was a sister of my Grt Grandfather, There were ten or eleven children, Anne died not long after her last child was born. Three children died young, the seven survivors were, Mary Jane, Alison, Thomas, William, Elizabeth, Henry,and Rebecca. The ten children were all born between 1875 and 1895 in Ireland. Thomas and Rebecca emigrated to Santa Barbara in the U.S. about 1912. Rebecca married ? Fawcett, she may not have had any family. Thomas married ??? they had two daughters that I know of, dont have their names. So it is possible there would be descendants there, it would be good to find them. I still dont have anything on the other five children whether they emigrated or not, either way there would have to be descendants there as well" Any help appreciated. Ruth NSW Australia

I'd have you friend first check the 1901 and 1911 censuses to see if her people were still there: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/ Fully searchable and free. He might also want to join the Armagh mailing list at: http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/NIR/NIR-ARMAGH.html There are people on the list from County Armagh who might be willing to look in the phone book to see if the surname is still in the same area. Here is the site for the Northern Ireland Phone book where she might check the surname: http://www.numberway.com/phone-numbers/3/ Just joined this particular list and trying to help someone out with tracing > descendants.

This is a site from the Government of NSW Australia where they have indexed passengers arriving from 1836-96. The index is working and the digital images of the passenger lists are a work in progress. It goes well with the Archives of Ireland's transportation list. http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/guides-and-finding-aids/nrs-lists/nrs-5316 -- Pat Connors, Sacramento, CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

A recent posting to another list, reminded me that years ago when I first got into genealogy and the internet, there was an Ireland site that was free and had a database of those transported from Ireland to Australia. Since my family information has evolved the posting reminded me that I should look at those transportation records again. I found them at the Archives of Ireland website here: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy/transportation.html -- Pat Connors, Sacramento, CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
