I agree keep up the great Work Cara, you have helped my a heap again thankyou for all the help Kind Regards Johnno  in OZ     From: Eliz Hanebury <elizhgene@gmail.com> To: irl-dublin@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, 3 August 2012 4:09 AM Subject: Re: [IRL-DUBLIN] IRL-DUBLIN Digest, Vol 7, Issue 242 I have to piggy back my reply since I didn't see the original that Cara posted. Most of us will kill for a list admin that sends items to the list and is very active! People who find these nifty tidbits are a blessing to any list and need to be treasured <G> They may be of no real interest to me or they maybe the gem that helps me find my Dublin family how will I know if I don't check the posts out? There is always someone (and sometimes really nice someones on a bad day) who think the list should be narrow and genealogy is only old records of dates not records of life in general. To me it is all that tells us about our ancestors and their way of life. Things that seem logical to us have no logic to those living back in the day. On another list we had a member who was stunned that her ancestors "who could read and write" might live in a home, one roomed home, with a dirt floor. She had never researched living conditions in our area (outside of Philadelphia) when in reality when many got here in the 1600's they lived in caves, or hollows they scraped out along the rivers. There were years of this for many until they could build a home with a roof! We read a lot about Hedge Schools and people living along the hedge rows but we drop it from our thinking when doing genealogy.

Under the spelling of Coogany is one you perhaps would like to look at if you have not as yet also.

Dear Cara, I agree with all Gail Riddell's comments. You have been a wonderful help to so many of us, sometimes in unexpected ways. Please don't stop. Just ignore the nasty posting. Nancy in NZ

Firstly let me thank all of you for your input, I was indeed surprised to see so many different email names popping up, On the list this is good, and although it was not a case of me looking for thanks, I never needed that, I wanted your input To the list, to see if you were happy, I laughed with deep amusement at a few comments, and a good laugh sometimes is what the body needs. I have taken everyone's advice aboard, placed it in to practice, and moving on lets once again turn our thoughts to our past and see what is hidden, in some Engine Alley, or can be found on Grafton Street, Or the Rotunda, here we all enjoy the hunt and the foraging, hunting our ancestors is like a huge treasure hunt, with someone hiding the clues, and someone arriving before us and moving them to another hiding place. So we must now move on and hunt, high a low, for the hidden folk, bit like looking for the wonder of a leprechaun, and I know they are hiding somewhere because I keep looking. Would you all like to write something about your Dublin Ancestor and post to the list, perhaps a broader picture of the persons you are looking for, may create a new idea on where to look. Simply be nice and make it all about the Irish content part, but do not hesitate to tell us where they went to, where they died, did some stay in Ireland, what did they become in their Lands, did they follow on in the work force of what they had learnt in Ireland? I tell this story on a few lists I admin about the lady who was hunting for her relatives, and I said to her what did they name the dog. And she said *funny that you should ask that * they named all the dogs Carlow, hence with a silly question her beginnings were located, as hey did indeed come >From Carlow, a happy lady now researching in that area. Remember this not everyone has had the chance to wander Ireland and study it, and learn the quirky way they handle their words and such, so when someone asks or reads a name that Is not quite right, be it in a parish register or an old document, I noted on a site last night that Tinahely has a new name of Finahely,, and I remember a rather caustic mail about a place that had been named Ballinglass instead of Baltinglass, and that came from Griffiths, so when checking out these place names also ask is it the correct spelling, of that townland, so when you ask persons do not ignore you. Cheers Cara

OWEN FAGAN, b. ~ 1790, Ireland (place not specified). He died 1856, Liverpool Married: married MARY O'BRIEN (perh) (as a Margaret O'Brien of right age to be mother/aunt was later living w/them in Liverpool. Mary was b. between 1794-1796, Ireland (place unknown) KNOWN CHILDREN: 1. Matthew Fagan, b. ~1820, Dublin (REF: English Census Records) 2. Catherine Fagan, b. 1829, Liverpool 3. Mary Fagan, b. 1831, Liverpool. May have died young. 4. Ann Fagan, b. 1835, Liverpool 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901 -- Family or descendants of family all living in Liverpool -- mainly Toxteth Park Area. Always seem to be associated with the CATHOLIC CHURCH. OWEN FAGAN was said to have been a HEDGEROW TEACHER, which may have caused the family to leave Dublin after the birth of Matthew and before 1829, when daughter rCatherine was b. in Liverpool. Son Matthew was a PAINTER -- said to have travelled extensively across England, Wales, for his work. QUESTION: 1. Were there lists of hedgerow teachers in the 1800-1820 time period? (Doubtful since it was rather secretive.) 2. Without knowing a parish, where might I look for the birth of Matthew to Owen Fagan in Dublin? I'd presume there were dozens of Catholic Churches at the time. 3. Were there city directories in the 1800-1825 time from where an Owen Fagan might be listed and if so, where might I find them. 4. Other suggestions as to where I might go for more info on either the FAGAN or the O'BRIEN Names? Thanks to the group for any suggestions you might have. Marilyn US

I, too, would like to add a message here. I have known Cara for perhaps 12 years now, and I think she is the kindest and most caring and sharing-est person around. Cara has always, without being asked, sent information on to my other lists [Tipperary & Waterford] for the subscriber's use. My chance also to say - Thanks, Cara! Janet

I find you very helpful Cara. I am a newbie to Irish genealogy and could do with all of the help I can get. I am just getting into what could be my brickwall of over 40 years broken down. Seems Ireland is the possible place for my 4th Great Grandfathers birth.. Surmise ionly at this stage. I am on a lot of lists as well and one in particular, my maiden surname of Place, seem to be the only poster, along with another chap.. Everyone has the same chance to contribute if they so wish. Thats what these lists are for not to sit and lurk and let just the odd one do all of the work. Though if folk wish to lurk, that is their choice as well but dont complain if somone like yourself wants to be friendly and helpful.

Cara This has to be an embittered soul writing to you in such a way? If not, then they have no understanding of either what you do, nor the hours you put in, nor the stupidity/non-thinking of person who chooses to write... Please, PLEASE ignore such and continue your exemplary "aid"; your "knowledge"; and your "experience" to the members of the list. (Hey, that's a thought! Perhaps you are too knowledgeable and the written word does not reflect your desire to aid???) Then again, there are times when you come across as a "dragon lady" but when I consider the situation, I quickly see why things appear in that way and why you might respond in such a way. (Moderation and "rules" might sometimes get in the way of progress, but normally you take the time to explain. This then gives us the opportunity to "chat" with you off-list.) I repeat again - ignore. The majority of members here, would (I am certain) be unhappy to loose your input. And should I, as an example happen to disagree with something you might comment on (unlikely because you normally only state "findings" and "fact"), then, be aware I feel free to state same. But this equally applies to another poster. And just by the by, as a DNA junkie, I belong to many lists and this one is a dream when I compare it to others (the moderators are both ferocious as are the posters!!! - man, it gets rough! Kind regards Gail Riddell (New Zealand) PS. The NZSG (New Zealand Society of Genealogists) has just (for its members only) given us access to the Irish Newspaper Archives from 1763 to current!!! O the dilemmas associated with such choices of searching??? My "olds" would be green with envy. Non kiwi membership is welcomed.

Dear Cara, As far as I am concerned your efforts are very much appreciated. Kind regards Maureen

Hi Cara I have not noted anything you have said of late that could be criticised. A few months ago I think you had a bit of a rant about something but that's about it. I appreciate you organising this list for us. Good on you David

Hi Cara, I would like to say thanks for everything that you do for our list, it's such a brilliant help especially for listers who live overseas like I do Regards Marion Sydney Australia Sent from Marion's IPad On 02/08/2012, at 6:28 PM, "Cara" <cara_links@bigpond.com> wrote: > I am now wondering after re - reading a rather nasty email directed to me, > whether you as listers are happy with the postings that I post to the list, > having been accused of doing mass postings > > Looking for accolades, which may I point out is not and will never be my > intentions, so therefore, > > I am now wondering what this person was actually on about, and am now > asking listers are you happy with what I post to the list or would you be > quite happy for it to remain with no input and sharing from > > Myself, or indeed others should they desire to share with us. > > > > Feel free to be honest I would not have asked if I had not of wanted to know > the outcome. > > > > There will be no repercussions on anyone that wishes to make a comment, I am > in fact looking to see if there is a need to change the way things have > been done in the past on the list. > > > > > > Yours as a lister > > Cara > > > > > > > > ****************************** > Topic: A mailing list for anyone with a genealogical interest in County Dublin, Ireland and the City of Dublin. > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-DUBLIN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi Cara, I am astonished at some people's rudeness! What you do, the service you provide is very much appreciated by me and hundreds like me, who don't often post to the list but look forward to you postings and the interesting discussions that sometimes follow. I hope that you won't let someone's rudeness upset you and I urge you to please keep up the good work you do, it is very much appreciated by me and others like me...
