Hi Tracey, I can't help a lot but I know you can research for passenger lists online, but I think it is only for those who paid their own way. I guess the Assisted passenger list would be huge.. Try putting Unassisted migrants or something similar into Google and see what you come up with. I think the website address has changed from when I tried last. I have seen the microfiche for this at the Victorian Public Records Office in Melbourne. What I can't tell you is whether that is only for the ships that came into Victoria. My great grandparents by name of Kemp also arrived into South Australia from Cavan, and it was on the ship Adamant arriving a year apart so 1863 and 1864. They married at the BC Mission House in Auburn Sth Aust and their kids born around Auburn, Blyth's Plains, McCloud Bay etc Perhaps yours and mine knew each other! I certainly empathise with you having Irish ancestors. I haven't been able to get far at all with mine and both having the same surname didn't help at all, at all! Where in Cavan did Henry come from? One lot of mine was from Castleterra and the other lot from Urney.

Hi, I'm writing from Australia, and hoping someone can help. I'm in search of a Henry Smith who was born in 1843/1844/1845. and his father was Henry Smith. Apart from that I have very little details on him. Is there a web site, or government web site that is a good one to research someone, that you don't have a lot of information on, or any web sites that you think are helpful. Any help will be appreciated. Also is there any web sites for passenger ship list of people who left Ireland and came to Australia. We know Henry was here before 1869, because he married in Auburn in South Australia then. Thank you, and I await any replies Tracey Ives Australia

Hi Joan: It is unbelievable how much new info has turned up. I`m, perhaps 1/3 the way through putting births / christenings into an excell table. It is slow going because everything has to be checked, but it has been fun.

Hi Listers, I haven't posted of some time so I am trying it again. I am looking for any information on the Welsh or Shepherd (verious) spellings. They are from County Cavan and came to the US about 1810 George Shepherd married Jane Paggett in Ireland. John Welsh married Margaret Shepperd in the US. Arthur Weir was a friend of this family in Irleand and married Margaret after John died. Any information on this family would be appreciated. I have some info on the families in this country and will gladly share. John __________________________________________________________________ Switch to the New Netscape Internet Service.

This is just a test-please delete.

1st let me say I am not one looking for some royalty just the story of some stone masons Ok my results are in.And they paint a much different picture then the one I thought was there.I was thinking Ireland,Scotland & England. Maybe Germany & Scandanavia. You know something simple. I did have 16 + people with exactly what I had as shown below So the first 12 markers came back and this is what i matched country#entries background # of matches Australia (65) Greek 1 Austria-Hungary(45) - 1 Belarus (99) Ashkenazi (Volozhin) 1 England (3083) - 5 France (228) - 3 Germany (795) - 5 Greece (56) - 1 Lithuania (130) - 2 Lithuania (130) Ashkenazi (Volozhin) 1 Romania (103) - 3 Russia (1193) - 1 Russia (1193) Ashkenazi 1 Russia (1193) Ashkenazi-Levite 1 Scotland (889) - 1 Sweden (86) - 6 Unknown Origin - 11 The Hungarian might be linked to the Marie Therese of the Ausrto-Hungarian Empire and the French could be conected to the Plantagents of French and British Monarchys.All this is still to be proven but the links to the area are there.The reason for so few Scotland & Ireland is simple not many with this name& Variants have tested. The Clendinnins ,Dunnings ,Dennis ,and Dunn's some are close to this, The Clendinnins show some real results. Now yesterday my final 25 came back and it a bit clearer but not so obvious I had no matches and what it shows is this. With people who have 3 Step Mutations they fall like this Country (#Entries) Comment Your Matches British Isles (77) - 1 Germany (418) - 3 Unknown Origin - 2 Maybe the real base of the name is Dennig. So it narrows the closer relations to Britian and Germany. This can be explain any number of ways Anglo Saxons the easiest. But this is still an incomplete picture until we get more results. So we need you and your males to find the answers. Oh! one more thing,I have a EB Hallogroup which is slightly different from the norm in Britian. and my twelve markers does seem to have a Jewish root. This can be explained in migrations west from the Russian steps or by Berbers coming thru Spain.

Hello fellow listers, I am new to this list and would like to share what I have and what I am searching for; as well as ask for your experienced insights about Cavan County. The family (or families) I am seeking, I believe came from Cavan County, Ireland, before migrating to Canada. While I have found nothing concrete, there is enough circumstantial evidence to believe this is the case. Not to mention, many of the families they married into were very populous in that County. For all the data that I have, my genealogy is uploaded to World Connect Project on Rootseweb.com...the link is listed below. As for a brief insight, here's the 411... FAMILY OUTLINE: Edward Ross, b. c1797, Ireland; d. bef. 1881, Marlborough Twp., Carleton County, Ontario, Canada m. Anne Cairnes Elliott, b. c1796, Ireland; d. 9 Jan 1878, Marlborough Twp. Children: William H. Ross (b. 16 Mar 1819, Ireland; d. 27 Oct 1903, Marlborough Twp.) John Ross (b. 1824, Ireland; d 1 Nov 1895, Marlborough Twp.) Mary Ann Ross (b. 12 Jul 1830, Ireland) Edward Ross, Jr. (b. 1831, Ireland) Alice Ross (b. 1832, Ireland) Andrew Ross (b. 1833, Ireland; d. 27 Jan 1887, Marlborough Twp.) Eliza Ross (b. 1834, Ireland) Jane Ross (b. 1835, Ireland) William H. Ross was still alive in 1900 when it was required that all aliens note their year of immigration. His year listed as 1842. His sister, Mary Ann's immigration year is listed as 1844. It's possible that they may have just not remembered (given they were both pretty elderly when they gave the info. If not, then the older brothers must have come over first, then sent for the family to join then. There are land records for William and his brother, John, in the mid 1840s, then a few years later, land records show up for Edward and Edward Jr. Edward and Anne were married about 1818. Unfortunately, there appears to be no link to where they all came from in Ireland. But, as I noted, many researchers of this line have been led to Cavan County. Families that married into the Ross line include: Potter, Elliott, Craven, Montgomery, Halpenny (var.), Good, Flood, Reddick. Well, that's about it. I would love to hear from any of you that may have some advice on what I can do next to find my family. I understand records in Ireland are quite limited because of that fire and the fact that they were not the best in keeping track of important events. Any insights would be very appreciated. Thanks! and very nice to meet you all!
