Would these be in same place? Need a source (such as map or chart/list etc) for the different govt. or church records and geographical jurisdictions in 1600's-1700's Ireland. Having difficulty with locations, since have found no reference source. Will appreciate any advice on suitable source, (for old genealogy research from overseas)..Thanks... Ann S.

Noted your McGrath/Gallagher origins; seems same area as some of our ancestry of earlier dates ( prob 1695 - 1740's) We have unproven indications that members of our JASON HASSARD, James CARSON & THOMAS WILSON fam.s lived in CARN area in Donegal, (very close to Tyrone Co line), close to Pettigo. Would be glad to hear if you or anyone on list may have any clues about these families. Believe either ROBERT or RICHARD HASSARD (sons of old JASON HASSARD of GardenHill in Fermanagh whose 1690 will named these sons) lived there and we descend from REBECCA HASSARD who married JAMES CARSON (their dau CATHERINE CARSON md THOMAS WILSON - they and 7 Wilson sons and Her younger brother JOHN CARSON immigrated to Amer about 1760's, fam. notes said then from ENNISKILLEN) We know there were Carsons in Pettigo. Will keep your family in mind as search area and hope you or anyone who may have info on HASSARD/CARSON/WILSON will share & exchange info. Thanks Ann

The first thing is that as my mother always says 'Nothing in life is free' and then as has been pointed out by Robert, Bob's web site carries pop up ads and as pointed out by Lindel, so does any web site hosted by rootsweb. Time is a very precious thing, priceless really. Those who build web sites and put them on the web - well, the information they are puting there is free to those who go to the sites - but it's not 'free'. There is a price, that price to those who create the web sites is actually financial as well as the time they have put into creation of the site. The financial part, well, they pay to see films, they pay to photocopy pages, or they pay for pen and paper to transcribe, they pay electricity bills to allow them type the information into their computers, they usually pay a server to allow them connect to the internet and then they pay telephone bills on top of that - the telephone bills are increased over and above whatever is would cost them if they weren't loading information to web sites, because you have to stay on line a long time to load big pages. That's the financial aspect - hidden costs that no-one would normally think of. Then, the time part. Like I say time is precious, but people like Bob and Lindel create web pages to go on their sites and quite simply, creation of a web page can take up to one day or more -depending on the number of links you have on that page. and Rootsweb gives away all this 'free' web space - but management at rootsweb have to pay all the same bills as well - electricity, servers and all of that - so, ok, there is more than just paying bills involved with some aspects, there is a profit to be made from genealogy - but the thing is that no-matter what, genealogy mail lists and genealogy web pages would be few and far between if it wasn't for 'free' space. The alternative to free space is that the people who create these web pages, continue to create them and then pay servers to host them and with that kind of thing you are very limited in the bandwith you get - you pay more for more bandwidth and the thing about bandwidth is this. The more people that visit your web site, then the more bandwidth you need and the more bandwidth you need the more money you pay. The more information you have on your web site, then the more people visit it and back to the more visitors you have, the more bandwidth you're using and once again the more money you have to pay. Bandwidth is space, it's like renting a house, only when there is a queue outside the door waiting to get in, well, then you have to rent a bigger house. Free pages have to be paid for in money terms - albeit the costs are hidden - the alternative has to be paid for too. Money - that's what they say makes the world go round. Appreciate the free pages - they'll probably not be there for-ever and you don't have to visit anywhere that the pop-up ads bring you to. Ignore them, their presence is what you have to put up with in order to get the free pages. Jane

I didn't say avoid it. I said beware. Besides, there ARE alternatives. Bob could get his own website - the domain name could be his own choosing - for $9 per month. I don't know Bobs' financial situation, but it's hard to get more reasonable that this. Of course, depending on the size of the site and the number of hits per month, it could run more. Although I've been subscribed to Ancestry for years, I don't like their business tactics and we don't have to support them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lindel" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 5:15 AM Subject: [DONEGAL] Re:Beware Bob's website? > Hi!

Trying to find info on Bridget Carr, born 1877, and her parents - Thomas & Susan Carr. Bridget went to America but I can not find the ship she sailed on. Bridget listed place of birth as Donegal on the marriage license in the state of Pennsylvania, US. She was in the US, married with 2 children in 1904. Does anyone have info they can pass on to me? Thanks to All, Michelle

Dorthy, Yes, He should be included in the census but you will need to know which R.I.C. barracks he was stationed at. My wife's ggrandfather was stationed in at least three different barracks in Donegal, if birth locations testify to where he was stationed. His first three children (1867, 1868, 1869) were born in Coleraine, Derry where he met and married his wife. She either returned to her parents for the birth or did not accompany him to "the wilds of Donegal". Their subsequent children (1871 and after) were born in Reporting Districts, Milford, Letterkenny, and Strabane. A URL showing a Co. Meath, R.I.C. barracks listing is at: http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/ashbourne/townlands2.html It is of interest as the constable's names were only initials as shown below: Rath R.I.C. 494 Rath R.I.C.

Yes he would be included in the census. It would appear that the census only shows the initials of the officers for each town along with age religion, occupation before RIC and place of birth.

List Members, I often (99%) seem to forget which districts are associated with each county in Ireland when I',m looking at the BMD indexes at the FHC, so decided to make a list of which districts are related to each county. Have added the registration districts for Ireland to my data base at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hiflyte/ Remember many registration districts overlap the boundaries of neighboring Counties. So you may have to look in other districts to find your lost soul.. Also added the 1901 census for the Town of Mount Charles in Donegal . It has all the data from the original census sheets. Enjoy Bob Cdn.
