One thing I have learned since I began looking for the nuts in my tree was that without a sense of humor, one can soon become the nut that cracked. (I know this is corny, but it is after midnight after all.)(chuckle) These good laughs help us relax and become re-energized so they are a good thing. Thanks to all of you who shared your sense of humor these last couple of days. Pops

Hi everyone, I'm sorry about my sidebar comments. If they offended anyone, then either you don't have a sense of humor or you just never had any of the experiences that I have had researching online. So please don't judge me...just laugh. You have all started out as a beginner at one time and probably did have to deal with one of those... Anyway...the above links are great links with lots of info that can help anyone. Good luck! Ella

Ugh! I know! I swear! I just said to my husband last week...you know how people lose 90% of their body heat through their head....well...genealogists lose 90% of their sense of humor through their genes. LOL. I know...corny! Ella

I did`nt realize these"personals" were going to the list. Mea culpa, Barbara : (

Hi everyone, I'm currently transcribing the 1857 editions of the old New York City newspaper, "Irish-American." The paper printed a few obituaries and news of deaths around the city for the Irish population. I have the March-August 1857 transcriptions uploaded to my website, if you'd like to take a look: http://www.irishinnyc.freeservers.com You can search the entire site by surname off two search engines located on the Home page. If you'd like to go straight to the obits, you'll find them on the Deaths in New York City page. News of deaths occurring around the city appear under News in New York City. I hope this helps someone! Take care, Tracy
