In IRL-CORK Digest, Vol 4, Issue 118 several people said they could not read my message. I don't know what they are using to read it, but it was sent in plain text as follows: Date: Sun, 10 May 2009 09:15:16 -0400 From: Dennis Ahern <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Subject: Re: Cork to Donegal On the Cork List, Cheryl <[email protected]> said: >Donegal however and knocked on the door in the tiny hamlet of Coolcross >Clonmany looking for Callaghan descendents.

One gentleman I spoke to >however mentioned that Callaghan was not a Donegal name and family lore >had it that the Callaghan's were from Cork originally and moved there by >the British. Whether or not Callaghan is a Donegal name is another question, but whenever you come across a surname in a county far from where that surname is common or is thought to have originated, there is a good chance that the individual was a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary. It was standard practice to assign new recruits to the force to a county as far from his home county as possible so that there could be no familial influence on the course of justice, nor threat of reprisal.

Sorry, Dennis, today the Romulin's have corrupted your file. Me thinks it is being saved in a proprietary format not ascii or text.
