Ciaran is indeed a gentleman and a scholar. I can attest to his generous nature, as I was the fortunate recipient of a Clare newspaper article which he located and which described the Dec 1849 eviction of my family. I have never met him, but he made that effort simply because he realized the significance of it to my research.

Hi Sharon, Marita Conlon Mckenna has written a trilogy of books for children on the famine called : Under the Hawthorn Tree, Wildflower Girl and Fields of Home. Published by the O'Brien Press in Dublin. Nicola.

Clare researchers would be interested in the book, "Houses of Clare", by Hugh W. L. Weir (Ballinakella Press, Whitegate, Co. Clare, 1986). This is an excellent source for many family links. Though not what one might call a genealogical book, it often shows a few generations of families associated with various houses, castles, etc. in Co. Clare. It is very well indexed by surname and the articles include excellent sketch drawings of the residences, as well as histories and locations (townlands and precise directions so that visitors can easily find them). I checked this for CUSACK and though I did not find a James, I suspect he would be very close to some of the persons mentioned in the book. A "Gentleman" leasing acreage sometimes indicates a Catholic relative of a larger landholder of Protestant faith who would ordinarily be described as "Esquire", if he did not hold any higher title. Actually, the suffix "Gent." (or "Gentleman") would be a person of ancient "gentle" (noble) lineage and was often preferred by Gaelic-Irish families that would otherwise be described as "Esquire". The book would certainly be available at the LDS Library in Salt Lake City, as well as most libraries in Ireland. It might be found in the larger libraries in the USA, AUS, etc. where Irish have settled, or available through inter-library loan. Len Keane Administrator, KEANE, etc. Y-DNA Project _http://hometown.aol.com/dolmenx/myhomepage/index.html_ (http://hometown.aol.com/dolmenx/myhomepage/index.html)

Nicola, Thank you. As it happens, I bought those for my daughter in 1998 when I was in Dublin (bookshops are a wonderful activity on a Sunday) when she was age 11, which I figured to be the perfect age for the series. They are a very lovely set.

Extracted from: http://www.irelandoldnews.com/Cavan/1825/AUG.html Cavan Herald Published in Cavan, county Cavan August 2, 1825 ENNIS ASSIZES--JULY 19 CASE OF CONNOR HOGAN AS PRINCIPAL AND BRIDGET M'NAMARA AS ACCESSARY (sic).--The extraordinary novel case came on this morning before the Hon. Baron PENNEFATHER. The prisoner HOGAN, was indicted for that he on the 21st of October last, at Kilclohane, in the county of Clare, did violate the person of Margaret M'NAMARA, and the female prisoner, Bridget M'NAMARA, was indicted for aiding and assisting in the commission of this outrage. There was a great deal of novelty attached to this case. The principal HOGAN, was charged as the principal in the outrage, in the commission of which five others, three women and one man, were concerned as aiding and assisting. Four of those two of the women and two, were found guilty at the lst Assizes, and sentenced to be hanged, but subsequently respited, the women declaring they were then with child, and to decide upon which a jury of matrons were sworn, who declared in the affirmative. The case to-day was the trial of the principal, and one of the women. The Court was unusually crowded, and after some persons were sworn to give evidence before the Grand Jury, the panel was called over. Those persons returned first on the Panel, by the High Sheriff, had frequently served the Grand Jury Baron PENNEFATHER complemented the Sheriff for returning such respectable Gentlemen on the Panel; it was their first duty to be in attendance, they owed it to their country; and he assured them in every instance their recognizances should be estreated. The High Sheriff said he felt happy that his conduct was approved of by his Lordship. We may say that a more extraordinary case never came before a court of justice. At the last Assizes, four persons were found guilty for assisting in the commission of the crime with which HOGAN was charged, upon what was considered by the Court and Jury, the clearest and most satisfactory evidence, and yet the same evidence given now against the principal, was overthrown in such a manner, as to occasion his acquittal by the Jury, without any hesitation, and equally to the satisfaction of the Court. The prisoner, Bridget M'NAMARA, was defended by Mr. WOULFE, and Connor HOGAN, by Mr. FREEMAN, Mr. DAVERON, Agent. Mr. BENNET appeared for the prosecution, Mr. M'GREENE, Agent. The following are the convictions which took place at the above Assizes:--Michael M'INERHENY and Patrick MOYLON, guilty of manslaughter, to be transported for life; William BURKE and Mathias MALONE, for manslaughter, to be transported nine months; Roger M'NAMARA, cow-stealing, William DEVIT, pig stealing, John LINAKEY, sheep stealing, John PIERSE, robbery of 6l, John BARRY, alias O'BRIEN, picking pockets, and Mary MADDEN, larceny, to be transported seven years; John JOYCE, concealing £12 10s which had been stolen, to be imprisoned 13 months; Michael O'BRIEN, Michael BOYLE, and James REILLY, rioting and assaulting Margaret M'NAMARA, the prosecutrix, in the rape at Ennis, to be imprisoned twelve months; Honora WHELAN, larceny, pleaded guilty, to be imprisoned six months; Bridget MEEHAN, larceny, to be imprisoned four months from the time of committal; Kitty LILLIE, larceny, to be imprisoned three months; Michael BURKE, illicit distillation, to be imprisoned six months; Thomas M'INERHENY, ditto, to be imprisoned one fortnight; William BUTLER, Hugh CUNNEEN, Michael BURNS, Patrick MOLONY, Luke O'NEILL, and Pat O'BRIEN, illicit distillation to be imprisoned one months each. Note: A free pardon has been granted to Jas., Susan, and Margaret M'NAMARA, and Andrew Conyngam, charged at Ennis Assizes, as accessaries in the outrage upon the person of Bridget M'NAMARA. **** Reply to LIST only, please.

Dear List, Years ago, I read a book about the famine and the politics in Ireland. It was so disturbing, that when some years later, I could not get further than the first few pages. I believe that the book was The Famine by Liam O'Flaherty. Alanna

Hi Sharon, Just one other point of clarification. Can you tell me the full title of Rosemary Ffolliott's Biographical Notices for County Clare please? I just checked the LDS website and the only one I can find covers Cork and Kerry. Does this include Clare or is that a separate publication? With thanks, Jo

Sharon: Thank you very much for the posting about the famine book. I have been on the look-out for just such a book for my children. The library in my hometown has -zero- when it comes to anything relating to Ireland, except for a very cutesy picture book on leprechauns. We travelled to Ireland last year and on some of the lengthy car trips, I told them what I knew of the famine (more than your average U.S. citizen, but probably much less than many of our listers). They were quite interested, but I couldn't produce anything for them written at their level to read. I'll be headed to Borders tomorrow to place an order - Thankyou! Meg Mulvey

Good Afternoon All I'm e-mailing to ask if anyone on this list is researching the abovementioned John DUGGAN whose father's name was also John and his mother's maiden name was COGHLAN (given name unknown). On John the son's death certificate, it states that his father was a gentleman. John (born 1833) died in Victoria, Australia in 1890 and I would like to learn more about his background in Ireland, for example his parents and his siblings. I have heaps of stuff on his life in Victoria which I would be more than happy to share. Many thanks. Anne Hanson Beechworth, Vic. Aust. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

If someone is going to "publish" original material, the obvious step in preventing copyright infringement is to prominently claim copyright where the material appears. I put quotation marks around the verb since publishing covers more than issuance of material in print form, as we all likely know now that the Internet is a place on which material is placed. The legal codes of many jurisdictions provide copyright entitlement without a formal statement (or symbol) to that effect appearing with the material. Nonetheless, prevention includes effectively causing removal of infringed material when it has been pirated. Enforcement of any legal right, unless done by a public authority, can be expensive. Typically a "demand letter" is sent in order to secure cooperation prior to filing of a law suit. Some legal codes, such as in Georgia (so I am told by a lawyer friend), provide for recovery of attorney fees and court costs when a judgment is entered for an intentional violation of a person's rights (for a tort, in case you are familar with that term). So, the major decision regarding copyright is whether to place the material out for public view or not. Unless you have funds for litigation and a means for detecting infringement, anything after display of your material depends on the ethics and legal awareness of those viewing it. Please note that I am not addressing what copyright encompasses, only what infringement "prevention" entails. Hope that adds some clarity. I did this by request, not by inclination to get into this subject here.

If readers believe that by giving your family tree to the Mormon's will bond the deceased to their church, then don't do it. That is the reason they are into genealogy ; and also be careful that your collection will not be copied without permission and end up on some commercial CD's. Sharon, being of a legal mind and profession, might have advice on how to prevent copyright infringement. **** Reply to LIST only, please.
