There have been a few Minnies I have known and 2 in family data and all were the given name - it wasn't a nickname or diminutive~ Kathleen On 3/21/06, Pat <bill-pat_galovich@telus.net> wrote: > > > > How about "Minerva"? > > > > > > > > > > _____ > > From: IRL-CORK-D-request@rootsweb.com > [mailto:IRL-CORK-D-request@rootsweb.com] > Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 2:03 AM > To: IRL-CORK-D@rootsweb.com > Subject: IRL-CORK-D Digest V06 #51 > > > > > > > > ==== IRL-CORK Mailing List ==== > Support RootsWeb in data acquisition > http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html > > ============================== > Search the US Census Collection.

In the 1901 UK census, my grandmother had a sister named Minnie. When I located her UK birth cert, her given name was Minerva Regards, Ben MacDonald Glendale, Arizona -----Original Message----- From: Pat [mailto:bill-pat_galovich@telus.net] Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 10:27 AM To: IRL-CORK-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Forename "Minnie" How about "Minerva"? _____ From: IRL-CORK-D-request@rootsweb.com [mailto:IRL-CORK-D-request@rootsweb.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 2:03 AM To: IRL-CORK-D@rootsweb.com Subject: IRL-CORK-D Digest V06 #51 ==== IRL-CORK Mailing List ==== Support RootsWeb in data acquisition http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html ============================== Search the US Census Collection.

Hello everyone, I am posting a message for the first time. I am particularly interested in the following families - mainly in the West Cork area:- CONNELL, DRAPER & ATTRIDGE. I do have a quantity of DRAPER information, but would appreciate hearing from anyone who can help with any of these families. Anne Paulizky, Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, England

A good place to start is the archive catalogue at : http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ Then do a search for the 20th Regiment of Foot, which will not have soldiers' names online, but it might give the dates when the regiment was in Montreal. ****** Replies To The List Only, Please ****** Padraig Mor An Sean Gabhar ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michele Grondin" <mgrondin@b2b2c.ca> To: <IRL-CORK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2006 7:45 AM Subject: 20th Foot Regiment > Helo, > > I have just found the marriage certificate of my ancestor, > "John Doloreux" protestant, married Ellen Noonan, in montreal, "Garrison Anclican Church), on the 13th of April 1853.

Helo, I have just found the marriage certificate of my ancestor, "John Doloreux" protestant, married Ellen Noonan, in montreal, "Garrison Anclican Church), on the 13th of April 1853. The information I would like to know is that he was part of 20th regiment, nothing else is written and the two witnesses were soldiers. He came back to Montreal as an immigrant at the end of 1855, boat manifest states that he is from Ireland. Where do you think I should search for this regiment, I have no idea.... Thanks Michele

Hi Sheila The way I understand it is that your 1st cousin's children are your 1st cousins once removed. For example my brothers grandchildren are my children's 1st cousins once removed and my grandchildren are their 2nd cousins. It is easier to remember that each successive generation are cousins but the children of those generations are once removed, and children of those children are twice removed. Sounds complicated I know but drawing a chart is probably a good way to work it out. I have just worked out that my GGG grandfather's 1st cousin is also my 1st cousin five times removed. He was from Co.Clare Rob Singleton New Zealand

Wow! I now realise how wrong I have been! So many thanks to everyone. I now need a glass of wine to relax my brain so I can get to grips with all this information! Whilst emailing, I have another question. My g-g-grand-father died 1st December 1836 in Dungarven, Co Waterford - I have a death certificate. However, where he was born is a more difficult matter. From his age on the death certificate it seems he was born in 1796, so where do I look for his birth? It seems the family moved about between Cork, Youghal and Dungarvan, which doesn't help much. I really enjoy this list and all the info on it. Sheila Bransfield

Each time I go for research to Ireland, I save several Euro notes in 5-10-50 denominations, because, inevitable, I find more names I want information on. I have never had problem sending them through the mail, although everybody advises against it.It has worked a dozen times for me. Candi
