Happy Easter to you all. It is good to hear that Virginia and others will be visiting Ireland. I hope they have a great trip. There are others who do not get the chance to visit the land of their forefathers or who get fewer opportunities than they would like. Again, there are our ancestors who immigrated to far off continents. We may never see in person where or how they lived but technology can now allow us a glimpse of the relevant locality.

Lindel posted: I was sent this article from the Irish Times Thu Mar 13 2008, which you can read for yourself at: I'm not sure whether to laugh or be appalled - there's a new website online, sponsored by the Irish Family History Foundation, which was launched by the Minister of Arts, Sports and Tourism, Republic of Ireland and the Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland. Lindel and List, Alas, this is not something new but a continuation of a trend that started about twenty-five years ago. I am reluctant to take up space and time here as it may be a subject that is not of interest to everyone. Nevertheless, I feel that it is important that the issue should be aired so that people may judge for themselves and hopefully take some action. Please bear with me as I give a short account of the changing landscape of genealogical research over the last couple of decades, as I found it here in Ireland. I am not an expert but the fire-side stories from my childhood home in Donegal made me want to find out more about who we are and where we came from. In my early twenties, I used to go to work-related courses in Dublin and this is where I must confess to a little deception. When the course tutors heard that I had a six hour bus journey home (true), I would be excused before noon on Friday and told to report back any time Monday. Paidí Thaidgh's bus did not leave Dublin until 18:00hrs. Friday and the return journey ended in Dublin at 12:00hrs. Monday so I sneaked off to various places of research during the supposed "traveling" time. Don't tell anyone, please. The first port of call was the old Registry of Births, Marriages and Deaths in the cold and draughty basement of the Customs House. You paid, I think fifty pence for a book and you sat outside in a sort of lobby area where you could look at the index of names. If you did not find the name that you were looking for, you swapped books and some banter with the person at the next table and you had more years, free of charge. The staff were friendly Dublin people and they played cards in the back rooms when they were not busy (I often felt like ditching the genealogy and joining the twenty-five card school). Fast - forward a few years and the records have been moved to a lovely, warm building across the Liffey. The prices are unbelievably high, the service is professional but unfriendly, and forget about the card school. Give me back the fun in the basement anytime. O.K. Lets forget about the BMD Records then. There is good information to be had from the Valuation Records, where you can follow on from the original Griffiths Valuation of circa 1857 and see the change of ownership for each piece of property from 1857 to, I think, 1932, with a map that shows the location of each property. The Valuation Office was in Ely Place, not far from St. Stephen's Green if my memory is correct and again, the records were down in the basement, although maybe not, as you went up steps to enter the building. You filled in the registration form at the front office and you could happily spend the whole day looking at the hand-written records as well as admiring the old building. The charge when you returned to the front office and the hours were added up was minimal. There were no card schools though but you can't have everything. I cannot stress the importance of what you could find here, as there was at least some sort of continuance from the mid eighteen-fifties, almost until the present time, at least where it concerned land or other property. The last time that I visited the old building in Ely Place, the new rules were being introduced, only I did not know at the time. I spent hours in the place, like a child in a sweet shop. Then, I called the attendant and handed him the card that showed the time of entry. He was a real 'Dub' gentleman and as we walked back towards the front office, he totted up the time and informed me that it would cost an awful lot of money (not his words as anyone who has visited Dublin can imagine). He then said "I'll see what I can do", and the final cost was very affordable. He did not ask for or indicated that he would welcome a tip but he got one anyway. I did not go back to the Valuation Office, which I believe has moved to a nice new and warm building at a different location, as I felt that I could not afford their new prices. Not to worry though. There is now a reasonably decent road from Gweedore to Letterkenny, despite the efforts of certain politicians. It is possible to get to the Donegal County Library in less than one hour and they have the 1901 and 1911 Census Returns on micro film. I copied 1901 returns for most of the Gweedore townlands, at a cost of ten pence per copy (I may be wrong and stand to be corrected, but I think that it was ten pence). The price then went up to fifty pence per copy and after the Euro came on the scene, seventy cents per copy. I had hoped to copy the full 1911 returns for Gweedore and surrounding areas but for obvious reasons, this is not now likely to happen. I wrote to the County Librarian and expressed the opinion that this was an important service that could be of great value in drawing tourists into the county and that perhaps the price should be lower but he disagreed. Apologies for rambling on a bit about this. The only thing that matters to the politically correct and beautiful people who have control of these records is that Mother Ireland can take a wad of dollars out of your back pockets (where do you hold the credit cards). It is up to all of us to convince them that this is a resource that should be available at little or no cost to Irish people all around the world. The benefit to the country would be enormous in terms of tourism. Almost all of our Irish politicians are going to be working really hard in various places from New York to Sydney over the coming St. Patrick's Day and Easter holidays so you may be able to have a word with them. Don't offer them free drinks or envelopes full of used bank notes as I am told that they are not allowed to take presents. Do remind them that they could do better. Happy St. Patrick's Day to each and every one. P.J.

Support for Ulster-Scots activity for 20 new groups engaging in Ulster-Scots activity for the first time. The rich Ulster-Scots will be able to support their genealogical group activities. Boyd, can I become an hon. Ulster-Scots person too! Funding news - 17/03/2008 £3 Million Boost In Ulster Scots Funding Welcomed Edwin Poots, MLA, Minister for Culture, Arts and Leisure, and the Chairman of the Ulster-Scots Agency Mark Thompson have met to discuss the increased funding in the budget for the Ulster Scots Agency. Speaking after their Stormont meeting last week, the minister said: "Over the next three years the Ulster-Scots Agency's funding is to receive a welcome boost of £3million. This will provide an extra 15 Ulster-Scots Summer Schools, 12 Ulster-Scots after schools clubs and music or dance tuition for 500 young people. "The Ulster-Scots culture is increasingly being recognised as a very important part of the Northern Ireland culture, making a valuable contribution to the economy and tourism. The agency must therefore be adequately funded to enable it to do its promotional activities properly. "This new funding will strengthen the infrastructure of the Ulster-Scots Agency and can be seen as part of the Government's commitment to the Ulster-Scots community. "The £3million will have a very real and visible impact on the ground. The activities that will be funded are primarily culturally based which will make them accessible to everyone across the community." Chairman of the Ulster-Scots Agency Mark Thompson said: "The additional funding will also enable the agency to support 20 community based festivals, Provide support for Ulster-Scots activity for 20 new groups engaging in Ulster-Scots activity for the first time." The Minister concluded: "I am also looking at further options to secure more funding that will be delivered at grass roots levels by the Ulster-Scots Agency." The Minister is currently visiting Tennessee and Texas from 8-14 March in his drive to promote Ulster-Scots links with the US. Liam "A bird in the bush is worth two in the cat"

David, Welcome to the List and hoping you have all the Irish luck in finding your family. I have found these entries for McMackin from Donegal and Tyrone. Included the Tyrone since it borders Donegal. Not really much help since most are from the 1860 + time frame, but may give you a lead or a name that sounds familiar.

Hi David, Have you considered it might be Clondavaddog Parish & NOT Clandareadough Parish? Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) ************** It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money &amp; Finance. (http://money.aol.com/tax?NCID=aolprf00030000000001)

Hello, I am new to this list and have learned that ancestors came from County Donegal. The surname is McMackin and they emmigrated to the U.S. in 1847. Patrick McMackin was born about 1790 and his son Daniel was born 1811 in County Donegal. A sister, Catherine was also born in Donegal about 1810. Daniel had a son named John, and he was born in about 1845. Am hoping someone on the list may have access to census records for Donegal, or any records, in the 1840s period to find out what parish they were living in. A family member who traveled to Donegal stated Daniel was born in Clandareadough Parish, but have been unable to find any parishes by this name in Donegal. Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am just beginning to search in Donegal. I am planning on traveling to Donegal next year and trying to gather as much information as possible. Greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me on the list. Sincerely, David Anderson

Maureen, Some comments on the Griffiths Valuation Revision Books, for this is what you are referring to rather than the Griffiths Valuation itself: Each book covers 10 to 15 years so you have a rough idea of what dates are covered by any book. Check the books just before and just after the one where Madgy McCole is crossed out, and you may find dates which will bracket her. HOWEVER, if someone IS scored out, I have never seen that revision NOT identified by a date. Did you check the FACING page because the dates are way way over on the right hand margin of the right hand page. Sometimes there are several revisions (scorings out) and several dates on one line of one page and it is difficult to identify which date refers to which revision. The revisions were originally made in colour and the date was in the same colour and if you see them in PRONI or in Dublin, you will have no trouble deciding which is which, but in black and white on a FHC microfilm, it is much harder! However, it is still possible to tell which revision belongs to which date by comparing the size of the writing, the width of the nib, the weight of the script, etc. If you still have the film at your FHC, take a digipic of the whole page and send it to me and I will see what I can do with it. If you do find a date for the revision, beware assuming that Madgy died in that year. I have seen people alive 10 years after they were scored from the GVRBs - they had moved in with a daughter. And I have also seen someone still recorded in the GVRBs 20 years after he was dead!! Some evaluators must have been very unobservant! Nevertheless, more often than not, a disappearance from the GVRBs can give some indication of death in an older person.

Hi Norman, many thanks for that tip, I have been trying so hard to find death and marriage dates for my crowd. I have been trying to track it by going through the Griffith Valuations for that period, but when I finally found the page where my ggrandmother was crossed off, there was no dates on the page to identify when it happened. The search has only just begun really, so it looks like more searching. I will probably try for deaths and marriages for Gweedore in two year groups.
