Hi All, Hope you can shed some light on my problem. I have just downloaded a Microsoft update which gave me outlook 6, since then I can't open the attachments on my digest e-mails. I can see what the contents are but when I click on them to open them nothing happens. Anyone got any ideas? Beth

hiya. im trying to trace family of my grandfather james o'donnell. i think he was born in donegal. he married my gran(jean keating) in 1929 in canada. he was 25 then so he mustve been born in 1903. he was apparently already married when he met my gran and in the I.R.A. he left his wife in 1928. his parents were called patrick o'donnell and mary shiel. deported from canada in the 30s. anyone help??

The only thing extra I'd add to this advice is, while in Ireland buy an extra 100 postcards, put them in a big envelope (bought on site) and ship them home for the next time. <g> Pays to be prepared. And maybe ask the person who got you the 100 if they want their own supply while you're there. On the camera....more memory is better...more more more. That's small, fits in a cosmetic case...not heavy...more memory means more pictures...<g> Of course, you could upload them to a place like your own webpage...thumbnails wouldn't take as long and then the folks at home can check your page for updates on your travels. (and doing a webpage, a basic one is sooo easy) Beth Cherkowsky http://members.aol.com/cougartoys/alley.html ebay seller id = woadieland -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 1:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DONEGAL] DSL connections in Ireland Hi Virginia, (some text deleted for convenience) bring charger for your camera battery and I recommend an extra battery for backup. I also carry two discs one with 128 and one with 8 mg memory for a backup. I carry my camera's software so that I can download to whomever I am visiting's computer if they want a copy of my pictures. I would bring blank CD's and save my pictures to CD's so that I could unload my camera when desired. Personally, I would only bring a laptop if absolutely needed. Potential for theft exists. But the biggest disadvantage is the loss of freedom of movement and carefree travel the extra expensive baggage demands. A journal and a camera are all you really need and a fanny pack big enough to carry them. Now here is my best free advice. Find someone who is traveling to Ireland before you. Give them money to buy you 100 postcards. (More if desired) When you get them, sit down and write one to everyone you know and address them. Pack them in your carry on luggage. At Shannon or Dublin buy your postage stamps at the airport and post them. They will have a chance of beating you home and have taken none of your valuable travel time. And your friends and family will be impressed and don't need to know of your postcard shenanigans until they need the same advice. Have a great time on your visit.

Hi Virginia, My experience with email in Ireland was mixed. Internet cafes were slow and fraught with connection problems if you are receiving email as well as sending it. When visiting family there was no DSL but I don't think that is a big issue for one or two PICS if you send them when everyone is in bed so you don't tie up their phone line. I send and receive PICS while at home with no problem. And there is no extra expense. Some B & B's have a computer which you can use for email but I wouldn't want to tie it up for long. You will need a plug adapter and a converter and be sure to get the right kind for cameras and computers. Any electronics store in your home country can help with that. Be sure to bring charger for your camera battery and I recommend an extra battery for backup. I also carry two discs one with 128 and one with 8 mg memory for a backup.

My daughter and I are planning a trip to Ireland in the spring and are wondering about the use of her laptop there. Long distance rates would be prohibitive without DSL connections, I think that we need to know what kind of electric converter to use, too. We want to be able to download our pictures and send e-mail while on the road. Can someone tell us of their experience? We are going to travel around the country, but our genealogical searching will be in County Donegal. Thanks! Virginia McKenzie [email protected]

Hi, my name is Barb from Vancouver, Canada. I have in my possession papers, certificates and pictures of descendants of Robert BELL and Margaret CLARKE of Stranorlar, Donegal. Their son Thomas BELL was born in 1864 and died at the age of 87 January 19th, 1951,he was married to Harriet Duff(Duffy) and they had a son Thomas born 1918 in Stranorlar. Other children were Hugh, Margaret and Robert. There are pictures of Moorview house built by Margarets grandfather Robert Bell. I am hoping to find someone researching this family and pass on the information to them. If anyone knows of this family or anyone interested in them please let me know. Barb [email protected]

One girl Julie married Anthony O'Donnell in Ireland and died when her daughter Madge was born about 1910. Their parents were Edward and Rose and I think they came from Tullaghobegley according the the shippin list. Rose Dugan was my great grandmother and she married Michael Sharkey also of Tullaghobegley in Australia in 1870. Michael's parents were Patrick Sharkey and Mary Brogan. If you find anything about them I would love to get it. Rosemary

Have a search in the on-line Griffiths at the URL http://www.irishorigins.com/ You can look for all the Thomas CARRS in County Donegal and then narrow the search down.

Hello to all. I am looking for any information about Bridget Carr and her parents, Thomas and Susan Carr. All I know is that Bridget was born in 1877, her parents names and that she was from Donegal Thank you, M. Dwyer Ortz

Dear Connie The available records you could consult are 1. Tithe Applotment 1834 for Letterkenney, County Donegal available at the URL http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegal/lettertithe.htm where a James Stevenson is mentioned. 2. Grifiths Valuation searchable on-line at the URL http://www.irishorigins.com/ 3. Church records are useful before Civil Records began (in 1864), but you need to know the religion of the persons involved 4. Subsequent to 1864, Civil Records of BMD are available and would be useful to access data on relatives left behind in Ireland. 5. The 1901 Census could track those records further. 6. The Library in Letterkenny may have records of local graveyards - URL http://www.donegallibrary.ie/ 7 The Donegal Ancestry Centre will have a lot of this data searchable in a computerised form URL http://indigo.ie/~donances/new_web/ 8.

I've just joined the list and I've never researched in Ireland before.  I was given a lead on one of my lines from Donegal which I've included along with some additional info I have on the line.   Could someone please give me guidance on how to validate this information.  I'm not from the area and not sure what to do. I do not know what cemetery this is referring to and would very much like to determine the location if at all possible. The following was recently found by a cousin among papers of their grandmother. "The tombstone in Co. Donegal reads:         M. Stevenson - April 14, 1833         John Stevenson - Martha Allen         Lelerkenny in Co. Donegal         "Here lyeth the body of John Stevenson of Lelerkenny          who died on the 15th of July 17, '27 in the 82nd year          of his age"   The tombstone also included a crest." I could find no "Lelerkenny" so I believe it should be Letterkenny, Donegal, which is NW of Raphoe, where we have been told the Stevensons lived. John Stevenson was my 4th great grandfather. His son John Stevenson, Jr. was married to Martha Allen who died giving birth to a daughter in 1833. In 1834 John Stevenson remarried Nancy Eaton in Ireland and by 1846 he was in Meigs Co., Ohio where he died in 1851. John Stevenson, Sr. was married to Elizabeth Baldwin. Their children (all born Ireland) were: William born 1792, Elizabeth 1794, Jane 1796, Isabel 1799, John 1802, Mary Ann 1805. I would like to determine the parents John Stevenson Sr., his wife Elizabeth Baldwin, and Nancy Eaton's. Plus confirm the above information on this line. Thank you for any help, guidance or directions on how to proceed. Connie

My grandfather William Martin, (Postman Bill), who came from St Johnston, County Donegal, worked for the Derry City Post Office, from 1873 until he retired in 1917. His PO record shows that in 1899 he was awarded a GCS (Good Conduct Strip) and 2 shillings and a further GCS and 4 shillings in 1906 - clearly he had been delivering his letters to the right addresses. He bought a plot in the Londonderry Cemetery (Section D, Class b, Plot No. 7) in 1877 where his father James (d 1877), mother Eliza (d 1893) and wife Bridget (d 1937) are buried. Imagine my consternation when visiting Londonderry City Cemetery last month to find the cemetery records indicate that William (d 1917) was not buried in the Db7 family plot but along with a Mr Henry Carton in a gravesite, Dc7, owned by Mary Carton. Neither of these graves are marked by any headstones so one depends on the cemetery records.How ironic if, after 40 years conscientious service with the mail, Postman Bill should have been delivered to the wrong address. Perhaps, in his latter years he had built up a relationship with this Mary Carton person or even with HENRY CARTON? (Did that sort of thing actually happen in Catholic Ireland in those days???). What a scandal! And can you just imagine the confusion on resurrection day! Is it possible that Postman Bill died in the arms of Mary instead of the bed of Bridget and if so was laid to rest in the Carton grave in order to allay a possible uproar? Closer examination of the records reveal that Henry Carton died in 1886, 31 years before Postman Bill. Are the cemetery records hinting at the first recorded instance of joint posthumous necrophilia in Ireland? William's death certificate records that he died in the presence of his son James who is know to have spent 20 years in the Royal Navy. Was this a cover story for the benefit of posterity or had son James already developed an affection for Rum and supplied copious quantities of this beverage to those who attended the Postman Bill wake? Were the officials from the cemetery record office at the wake along with William's relatives and buddies from his old days in the postal service? One can just imagine the lot of them staggering from St Eugene's RC Church to the cemetery and, under the influence of the excess of Rum, sliding Postman Bill into the nearest convenient open grave. Whoever said that genealogy was a dull subject!! Can listers advise me if I should have Postman Bill exhumed from the Carton plot and re-interred with his wife and parents? (One hopes he will not be found wrapped around Henry) What will the cost of all of this be and what legal steps do I need to take? Will we be able to keep it out of the press?
