I was working on a 17 page Word file last week (The McSheffrey Diaspora) when the whole thing went pear shaped. Microsoft Word crashed and none of the data could be recovered. You know the feeling!! Then I remembered that I had subscribed to Mozy (Mozyhome Remote Backup). A good time to put it to the test. Within about 2 minutes the file had been recovered and was back on my system as "The McSheffrey Diaspora (I)" - Yeeee Hah! Mozy costs me $4.95 per month, has all my important data on a remote server and every day automatically backs up any files that have been changed. A remote backup could save your genealogical bacon too. - see the review at the URL http://www.webuser.co.uk/products/Storage_backup_2216_index.html Liam "A bird in the bush is worth two in the cat"

Royal Irish Constabulary The Irish Constabulary was established in 1822, and became the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) in 1867. Both were armed, paramilitary forces whose members were stationed around Ireland and were responsible for, among other things, gathering intelligence, enforcing civil law and acting as census enumerators. Approximately 85,000 men served between 1816 and the creation of the Irish Free State in 1922. Every man who joined, or attempted to join, the RIC has a service record. These are housed in the Public Record Office in Kew, England and at the National Archives in Dublin and the PRONI in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Men are listed by year of appointment to the force. RIC recruits served in a county other than their home county and had to serve 7 years before marriage. They then transferred to another county. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Family History Centres have the records available on films #852,088 to #853,097 and #856,057 to #856,069. The index is on films #852,096 - #852,097. The Irish Times at URL http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2008/0818/1218868020689.html reports (August 19, 2008) that the records of more than 80,000 of these officers are been made available online on the subscription service www.Ancestry.co.uk. The registers normally give: ? full name; ? age; ? height; ? religious affiliation; ? native county; ? trade or calling; ? marital status; ? native county of wife; ? date of appointment; ? counties in which the man served; ? length of service; and ? date of retirement and/or death. The name of a wife is not given, nor any information about parents.

Greetings - I hope I have joined the correct List for this query I am wondering if anyone can help me with any information about a *Reverend Nunn*, Church of England minister who went to *Kilmanington Rectory, Donegal *. He married a ? *de Lisle* from Dublin, possibly around the mid 1800's. She was one of 14 children, and I havent found her birth yet - other siblings were born between 1839 and 1864. That's all the information I have about them. I couldn't find any info about Kilmanington on google - can anyone tell me if this is in Donegal, the place or the County? Any information at all gratefully recieved Many thanks Kathy Noble (Tasmania, Australia)

Hi Liam! All I know is that their daughter, Rachel married at Church of England in Richmond, New South Wales in 1845 - so I guess they were Church of Ireland. Best wishes, Judy I have a William LOUGHREY married to Mary Ann NELSON about 1827/28. Their children were born in Buncrana Donegal - Rachel 1828, James 1834 and William 1836. Mary Ann died circa 1836 and William remarried to Ann Murdock. They had Ann Eliza Dec 1838 Londonderry (I think) and then they immigrated to New South Wales, Australia, arriving 15 July 1841 on the ship "Herald".

About a year or 2 ago a VERY kind lady took requests to look up marriage records from the Catholic church in that area. She had the records to look-up and also transcribed them. If you are that lady would you please contact me off list Thank you very much, Michelle dwyerortz@windstream.net

The content of below article deals mostly with Roman Catholics coming to Ulster. Presbyterians also fled the stringent rules of the Church of England - they had to hide in caves for worship to escape detection. And this went on from 1600s to early 1800s in both Scotland and Ireland. Quakers, Methodists, et al. too? Huguenots? And how many fleeing papal restrictions in Europe? Liam Martin <L.Martin@zen.co.uk> wrote: Barry R McCain in his Ulster Heritage DNA Project Update 28 July 2008 reports two talks given at the 17th Ulster American Heritage Symposium Archaeologist Audrey Horning talked on the settlement of Scottish Gaels in Antrim on the eve of the Plantation; these were Roman Catholic and Gaelic speaking families who settled with the permission of the McDonnells of the Glens and Route. There were Catholic Lowland Scots that settled in Tyrone and more Scottish Gaels into Donegal. All these themes are extremely important to those of us hunting ancestors. These groups do not fit in the Presbyterian Ulster Scot stereotype, yet they also participated in the 18th Century migration to the Colonial USA and then others went into Canada in the 1830s. Professor Peter Toner of St Thomas University, New Brunswick is following the large Presbyterian Irish speaking communities in New Brunswick circa 1850s into the 20th Century. Yes, there were several communities of Irish speaking Presbyterians from Ulster in New Brunswick. Irish speaking Catholic Scots-Irish - whatever next! Eleanor Hull writing in her "History of Ireland" In 1628 Sir John Bingley reports that "there are at present in that city (Dublin) fourteen houses for the exercise of the Mass and one more remarkable than the rest for the Jesuits"; and the Bishop of Ossory gave the names of thirty priests working in his diocese. The general relaxation of the penal laws could not be better shown than by the multitude of English priests and Jesuits who took flight to Ireland for safety from the severe enactments that were the result of the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, two years after James's accession to the throne, and by the advice given by Davies that priests and Jesuits, when captured in Ireland, should be sent over to England, where the penal laws could deal with them. The same thing happened in the North. Catholics from Scotland came flocking into Ulster to escape the severe penal laws "which gave them no rest" in their own country. They settled on the estates of the Earl of Abercorn and of Sirs William and Richard Hamilton! , and of other Scottish nobles who welcomed them on their properties in accordance with the planters' desire to encourage English and Scottish tenants. It looked as if the efforts of James to make Ulster Protestant as a part of his "civilizing" policy were destined to failure, and that Ulster would speedily become as Catholic as the South; the Bishop of Derry complained to Claude, Master of Abercorn, that his diocese had become "a sink for all the corrupt humours purged out of Scotland." It is probable that many families of the present population of the North, looked down upon by the Protestant interest as Irish Catholics, are descendants of this immigration of Catholic Scots.

List Members, Another website that should be of interest to anyone with Immigrating Ancestors. (most of us) They are requesting volunteers to help with the project http://immigrants.byu.edu/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=3&tabid=4 I am not a member of the LDS or involved with BYU but both of these organizations sure do a lot for us genealogist both amateur and professional. I would never have started doing research if it were not for the LDS/FHC in our city, giving us free use of their FHC and courses the local FHC provided for beginners about 10 years back. Also must give credit to a great staff during this time period who were always willing to assist those starting out doing genealogy. Have a nice day Bob Cdn
