    3. Thanks Macha Have a look at the bottom of this page for Roddy: http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/mlynn/01_Lynn/FT_Lynn_02.html It will be interesting to see if Vincent has any information - I look forward to hearing from him. My family and associated ones from the same area in Antrim (Lynn, Walls, Graffin, Dimond) lived in Gisborne and Napier and I have the feeling there were others there too. I am amazed at how looks carry through a family. I am trying to contact a Lynn family in Bellaghy (not far from Kilcurry) who look exactly like various family members! We just met an American family who - if they are related - would be connected to my wife's at the latest in the 1650s. Her very unusual ear shape is identical to the family here in NZ and apparently is common in both branches!

    3. My apology. I have never posted here and am unfamiliar with the protocols. I am responding in reference to the Norwegian inscription on the medallion. The "Dom" seems to be ignored in the suggestions I have seen so far. This medallion inscription could be in reference to the commemoration of a church on the specified date. It is the "Dom" that caught my eye. The word for church in Swedish is kyrka, the word for a large church or cathedral is domkyrka. I believe the same word in Norwegian is domkirke and that it can be shortened to simply dom. The "Erindring" certainly connotes remembering, recalling, etc. Again, this medallion could be a memento of the commemoration of a new large church, an event for which the familiar member was honored. -----Original Message----- >Message: 6 >Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 19:27:41 -0700 >From: "Norsky" <norsky@mtintouch.net> >Subject: [IRL-ANTRIM] Fw: 1733 Medallion - THE ANSWER! >To: <fermanagh-L@rootsweb.com>, <ireland-roots-L@rootsweb.com>, > <irl-antrim-L@rootsweb.com> >Message-ID: <001201c740f1$8e007880$6400a8c0@D1BW9ZB1> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > I received a TON of response to my request for help in deciphering my 1733 medallion, and I want to thank all of you who took the time to help out.
