The different National Archives (local offices) have passenger records relating to their area. Us, being in Sacramento, would have to use the San Francisco NARA office but they would only have passenger records from the West Coast. If you want to see NY or PA or MA records, then you have to go to their local offices or the main NARA in DC. However, the Family History Library has copies of many, if not all, of the films. Go to the website at FamilySearch.org and under the button, Search Records, click on Library Catalog and then click on Keyword Search. In the search record put, passenger records. Wow! See how many you can choose from. You can then go over to Eastern Avenue and order the film to view.

I have added two new civil parish tithe applotments to my website. They are Tullycorbet CP in County Monaghan and Tullymellan CP in County Tipperary, South Riding. The new addition of Tullymellan, completes all the tithes for the Iffa & Offa Barony in County Tipperary and I am currently working on an index for it, much like I have for Clanwilliam and Killnamanagh Lower baronies. I should have it online by tomorrow. I do have Google search engines connected to the site also, for easy searching. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

The Carlow Sentinel. Saturday March, 15th, 1919. At Monday's Carlow Petty Sessions before Mr. J.C.Ryan, Resident Magistrate and Sir Deny's-Burton, a licence was granted to the recently formed "Comrades of the Great War" Club in Carlow. The club , which has a large membership is now in full working order in their well-equipped rooms, in Burrin Street. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Nationalist , 11th August, 1919. Letter to the Editor. Dear Sir---- We have all heard of the proposed Irish War Memorial to be erected at a Soldiers' Club in Dublin in memory of those brave Irishmen who fought and fell in the recent war : in this club there is to be kept a complete roll of honour of all these giving the name and regiment of each man. I am anxious to obtain from the Queen's County at least £1.000 for this excellent object. The population of our county taken at the last census amounted to 54,000. If 20,000 of these gave one shilling each , we would have our £1,000. If more were given, of course a larger sum would be obtained. I should be glad to have the names of any friends who would be willing to collect in their own districts and to send me the total amounts. I am Dear Sir, Yours Faithfully, Algernon Coote, His Majesty's Lieutenant in the Queen's County. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Nationalist, 31st January, 1920. Letter to the Editor. Browne's Hill, Carlow. 27th January, 1920. Sir---I see by your last week's issue that I was shown as elected as a Unionist member of the Carlow Urban District Council. I beg to point out that I stood as representative of the Comrades of the Great War, an organisation , which is strictly non-political. ----Yours faithfully, Robert Browne-Clayton, Browne's Hill House. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Nationalist, 7th Feb. 1920. "CARLOW UNIONISM IN THE QUICKSANDS" Letter to the Editor. Sir----In your issue of last week Lieutenant Colonel Browne-Clayton repudiated the publication of his name as a Unionist in connection with the recent Carlow Urban Elections. He says he stands as a "representative of the Comrades of the Great War" and for the life of me I cannot understand why such an association can be interested in local municipal life. Why did not the gallant Colonel issue an election address stating what he was proposing to represent. Is County Carlow Unionism in the Quicksands ?---Yours truly, UNIONIST. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nationalist. August 1920. FFRENCH ---In sad and loving memory of Gunner John Ffrench R.F.A. , Castle Hill, Carlow, killed in action in France, August 22nd , 1917. Day by day we sadly miss him, Words would fail our loss to tell, But in heaven we hope to meet him, Whom on earth we loved so well. Inserted by his loving mother, brothers and sisters.

Nationalist, 15th Nov. 1919. De Valera and the American Indians. "Nay Nay Ong Abe"---meaning "Dressing Feather"---was the designation conferred on Mr. De Valera by the Chippewa Indian Tribe at Spooner, Wisconsin, on his adoption by them as one of their chieftains. The title was once held by a famous chief of the tribe who secured for them their rights under the treaty of 1854. Describing the adoption ceremony, with its interpolated series of Indian dances, an "Irish World" report says :--- Chief Billy Boy resplendent in a head dress of feathers reaching his ankles, greeted De Valera in Chippewa. Billy Boy was followed by Joe Kingfisher, the headsman of the tribe. Kingfisher, who presented the Irish leader with a handsome beaded tobacco pouch and moccasins, expressed a poetic sentiment as he tendered the gifts; I wish I were able to give you the prettiest blossom of the fairest flower on earth for you come to us as a representative of one oppressed nation to another. Chief Billy Boy then invested Mr. De Valera with his new name and informed him of his adoption by the Chippewa nation. Mr. De Valera accepted the head-dress and signifying he wished to speak, the music ceased and he talked in Gaelic. " I speak to you in Gaelic" he said reverting to English, "because I want to show you that , though I am white, I am not of the English race. We, like you, are a people who have suffered , and I feel for you a sympathy that comes only from one who can understand as we Irishmen can. You say you are not free. Neither are we free and I sympathise with you because we are making a similar fight. As a boy I read and understood of your slavery and longed to become one of you." Mr. De Valera then told the red men how Ireland had been oppressed by England for 750 years. "I call on you, the truest of all Americans to help us win our struggle for freedom." The Indians listened to his impassioned address with owl-like gravity, but when Ira Isham, the tribe interpreter, translated Mr. De Valera's words into Chippewa they cheered him wildly. The ceremony was preceded by a memorial Mass in the reservation church by Fr. Phillip Gordon, Chippewa priest, for the Indians who died in France during the Great War.

To the Editor of the Carlow Weekly News. 19th Feb. 1863. Sir---I shall feel much obliged if you will allow me, through the medium of your Paper, to express my acknowledgements and thanks , and those of Mr. Pack-Beresford, to the inhabitants of Carlow and its vicinity, for the very kind and flattering reception accorded to us on the marriage of my daughter. I assure you that it has made a deep impression on us all, and that the demonstrations of kindness and respect shown to us on that occasion, will never be effaced from our recollection ---I remain your obedient servant, Robert Clayton-Browne, Browne's Hill, Carlow. (same page). Insubordination in The Workhouse. Michael Walshe, Mary Helighan, Mary Costello and Ellen Esmonde , all inmates of the Workhouse were brought up charged with insubordination. Mr. Kerr , Master of the Workhouse, when sworn deposed. ---At about seven o'clock on Friday night I was informed that there were some of the inmates outside the Workhouse wall. On going out with the schoolmaster, I found Michael Walshe and Mary Helighan outside the gate. On enquiring how they got out , the gate-man told me that Walshe had forced his way out, and then the girl got out. They would not return, although he (the gate-man) desired them frequently. I thought it my duty to lock them up in seperate cells to punish them. At nine o'clock, I gave directions to send over a bed to Mary Helighan, and she would not take it. She threw out the bed clothes. On going over to the cells, these girls, Foster and Esmonde, put their heads out of the window of their dormitory, and commenced to curse in a most frightful manner. I desired them to go to their beds and cease. In a few minutes I was going around the house , when I heard Foster encouraging Heligan to sing, and told her to sing so loud , so she would be heard in Dublin Street. I desired her to stop, and she did, but when pressed by Walshe she commenced again, and finished the song. Several of the old women complained to me that they got no sleep. Several people were congregated about the gate in consequence of the noise. When Walshe heard the noise of the women he commenced battering the cell door with stones. There was no other person in the cell but himself. I attribute the whole blame to the girl Foster. She is out of jail only a week, and when she was coming in the Guardians gave her a great caution. Walshe---On the virture of your oath was it with a stone that I knocked the door ?. Mr. Kerr---There were stones in the cell the next morning. In justice to him , I must say, that he stopped when I asked him., but he made use of very impertinent expressions. Esmonde ---I have nothing to say only I made noise, and it was I who cursed. Judge---Mary Foster, it appears that you are an old offender, and a person who has raised great disturbance in the Workhouse. You may depend upon it, we will not allow this to go any further. We will put you into prison for a month, with hard labour. Walshe, you have been before the barrister, and this is not your first or second offence. We will give you a fortnight in prison with hard labour. Helighan and Esmonde, it is your first offence, and we will send you to prison for a week with hard labour. Drunkenness. John ? was summoned for being drunk on the 7th, 9th, 10th and 11th of the present month and was fined 5 shillings with costs of £1 four shillings, or 48 hours imprisonment.

Thank you, Pat, for your constant and tireless efforts. You are much appreciated! Melody I started transcribing the names and I am gradually getting them online on the Ireland section of my website.

I recently downloaded an 1899 report to the English Parliament on the transportation scheme of Cromwell which moved the Irish to Connaught and County Clare from the Google Old Books website. Within the report were over 30 pages of names of those moved in the 1855-59 time period. There are over 900 names grouped by alpha but not in strict order and, of course, using old spellings. Much info includes where they moved from and some have names of their parents, late husbands, children and more. I started transcribing the names and I am gradually getting them online on the Ireland section of my website. So far, I have A and B names completed and online. In the, Others Mentioned column, however, you will find surnames starting with other letters of the alphabet (in laws, maiden names, etc.). My goal is to get a letter done and online each day, so keep checking. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

This may well have been the last time that a Military Funeral was held to acknowledge the role of an ex-British Serviceman in the 26 counties Irish Free State / Republic. ] Nationalist, September 21st 1921. MR. F. GUNNING. We regret recording the death of Mr. F. Gunning, which occurred at his residence, Burrin Street, Carlow, on Sunday. Deceased had reached a very advanced age and had been resident in Carlow for upwards of half a century. The late Mr. Gunning was one of those who had few enemies and many friends, and he was highly respected by the people of Carlow of all shades and classes who appreciated his gentlemanly qualities. Having seen service in various campaigns, including the Crimean War, Mr. Gunning became attached to the 8th Battalion King's Royal Rifles (Carlow Militia) as Sergeant Major, and on returning took up permanent residence in his adopted town. The internment took place in Killeshin Churchyard on Tuesday, and the funeral --a military one -- was very largely attended. The band of the 5th Battalion Norththumberland Fusiliers played the Dead March and the Last Post was sounded. Rev. Canon Ridgeway, M.A., officiated at the graveside.
