It's a long story, but as of a few hours ago, I no longer have access to the file on my hard-drive........which contains about 6000 letters sent to me (mostly from the Irish lists) and which I wanted to keep for future use/reference. I still have use of a similar number of letters which I have sent to various lists/individuals (and they are now backed-up....now that I know how to do it. One day too late.) If anyone out there is awaiting a reply from me, I'm afraid that you'll have to write again. Sorry. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts

I was thinking about names last night after writing the reply on Crummer/Crommer..............wondering if it became Creamer. Some of you might look at Creamer and wonder how it could have come from Crummer - 'cos you'd probably pronounce the beginning of that name as you would the word 'cream' - whereas I'd pronounce it 'cray''mer' Take the word tea as in a cup of tea. I pronounce that tee, something similar to a golfers tee. Others (usually older people) can pronounce that word 'tay' as in the sound for 'hay'. The name Phelan - well, I pronounce that one 'fee' lan as in the fee to be paid for something. Others will pronounce it as 'fay'lan - with the same sound as 'hay'. Then if someone pronounces it as 'fay'lan - someone else can write it felan - or even with my feelan - they might pronounce that fee as fay and it becomes faylan if they were to write the word phonetically - that is as they hear it said..............if we were back in the days with no standard spellings for surnames. Whelan is the same - pronounced wheelan by some and whaylan by others........... and then, both names have become mixed up somehow. Take Gallivan in Kerry - McLysaght tells us that the surname Gallivan originated in Kerry - I can see that in the very early records, or this spelling of it. Then, if I look to early General Registrar Records the 1845 marriages forward and the 1864 deaths, births and marriages - there are Gallivans in all the registration districts for Kerry with only a few Galvins or Galvans - all three being the same name, just spelled differently. The Gallivans are from Kerry in these records - generally speaking and the Galvins and Galvans are generally from all the other counties of Ireland. At some point it changes and then we have Galvins from Kerry and Gallivans all over the rest of the place and it's not a terribly subtle change - doesn't go to being 50:50 before it switches. My own Gallivans - well, they were all born Gallivans when they were down in Kerry but then my own direct lineage - they were born in Northern Ireland and for each member of the family the spelling is different on their birth certificates - one being Gallivan,, the next being Galvin and then the next Gallivan and so on - like steps on a ladder. Looking to the name O'Connor or O'Conner..............for the most part the early records show the O'Conners as all being registered in the northern counties and the O'COnnors in the southern ones - not much to go by if you're looking for an O'Conner from Ireland, but at least some bit of a help in cutting 32 counties down to 6-10 - kind of makes the search area a bit smaller. Names changed - we've all talked of phonetic variations...........when I look through all these records, then I can see a spelling being common, or more common in one part of the country than another in the early years - in later years they all kind of standardised to one way or one or two variations. It's all very easy when you have a Murray or a Kelly - the only variations on these ones are Murry/Murray and Kelly/Kelley - it's with the others that it can get complicated - the Crummers and Cramers or Creamers - the Guilfoyles and the Kilfoyles........ The O'Loughlins, O'Lochlans, O'Loughlans, O'Locklans............ But if you watch carefully, and think about pronounciations - then there may be a hint or two in there for you somewhere. Take another name. Hyland. I've been looking at that one recently - from Laois. They're all over the place in the GRO records - for the county I want them from and the area I want to find them in too.........spelled Hyland for the most part in the area I want them in, but Highland for the northern registration districts...........Up north, there's another name - Hillan also found as Hilan sometimes - again for the same registration districts as the HIllan - mainly northern counties. When I turn to the parish records for the area I am interested in - sure enough, there are Hylands there for the time frame I am primarily interested in - but when I go back further, to an earlier time in these parish records I find no Hylands but I see an odd Hiland or Hilland and then I see some Hillans or Hilans............... and I wonder about those Hillans in the northern counties - that name is not found in Laois when I turn to the GRO records - only the Hylands are. Is it possible that the name Hyland is a derivation of Hilan or Hillan...... The main area that the Hylands are found in back in the early GRO records is Portarlington..........and for lots and lots of Portarlington names are Huegenot names - and then again, I can't keep track of the number of names that are northern Ireland names and for which there are connections to Monaghan and Fermanagh - real family connections fround in parish records and other archival sources, also, unusual names that connect back from one county to another....... McLysaght says that Hyland or (O)Hylan(d) is usually a form of Ó Faoláin (Phelan). and that it has become Ó hAoileáin in Connacht, where it is sometimes synonomous with Whelan. - Interesting, considering I began this mail with Phelan/WHelan. I've never bothered to check see what McLysaght had to say about Hyland before!! Then, and going on a bit to the Irish version of names - you think it was bad with the phonetic variations! Take Lyons. Now, that's a name that you can't go too wrong with - you have Lyons, Lynes, Lions............then you have them without that 's' - but think of this. In one part of Ireland the Irish version of that name is spelled 'O Liaghin' and in another O'Liatháin. Change that O to a Ní if you are talking about a woman - My name in Irish is Sinéad Ní Liaghin............or Sinéad Ní Liathain - depending on whether I am acknowedging my Kerry/Cork or Galway ancestry. See that Liathain up there - how would you pronounce it? I'd say Lee han...............and Leehan - well, we have a Co. Cork name 'Lehane' and the Lehanes' and Lyons' are related - the name Lyons is considered to be an Anglisized version of Lehane and Lehane came from Liatháin - again, I've just looked at what McLysaght has to say about the Lehane name and it's the same as I knew................and I learned that when I had absolutely no interest in genealogy, back when I first went to college down in Cork all the way from Laois - I stayed in digs - with a landlady, bed, breakfast and evening meal. Mrs. Lehane and Mrs. Lehane announced to me - or someone did that we were distantly related, and it was nothing to do with the fact that our names came from one another - we actually were related by marriage. Funny the way things turn out. I think that's enough on names - a lot of it I've said before - but I've been kind of thinking about this one ever since a lister posted their interests as being Keenah or Keehan from Clare (was it? sorry, I can't remember who it was and I just know that it set me thinking when I saw it) Then, I was wondering how common is Keenan in the same area - could the 'h' originally have been another 'n' that got mixed up or mispronounced somewhere along thte line giving those two branches of that family in that area. Then, we had Karen and her trying to read names on the scottish census..........I had a mail about the name McNickles - bet that became McNicholls............and the Crummer/Crommer mail I read yesterday. Enough!! Just a few thoughts for those of you with unusual names...... Jane

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (1931) The Presbyterians who are found chiefly in Ulster, are formed into Congregations, each of which is under the ecclesiastical government of a court called a Kirk Session, consisting of the Minister and Elders of the Congregation. An indefinite number of the Ministers of these Congregations, with a Representative Elder or each constitutes a Presbytery, which has the charge of the Congregations represented in it. Delegates from each of these Presbyteries, consisting of all the Ministers, with a Representative Elder, for each, constitute the General Assembly, which is presided over by a Moderator chosen annually and regulates the ecclesiastical concerns of the Body. The first Presbytery in Ireland was formed at Carrickfergus in 1642, and gave rise t the Synod of Ulster. The Presbyterian Synod of Munster was formed about 1660. The Presbytery of Antrim separated from the Synod of Ulster in 1727, and the Remonstrant Synod in 1829. A number of Seceders formed themselves into the Secession Synod of Ireland about 1780. In 1840 the General and Secession Synods having united, assumed the name of the general Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, comprising in 1930, 546 Congregations, arranged under 34 Presbyteries. The Ministers were supported by voluntary contributions, the rents of seats or pews, and the proceeds of the commutation of the annual Parliamentary Grant called the Regium Donum, or Royal Gift ( first granted in 1672 by Charles II), made by the Church Temporalities Commissioners under the Act of 1869. The Minutes of the General Assembly for 1930 state that in the year ending in December there were 584 Ministers,, (besides 22 licentiates and ordained ministers without charge, 546 congregations and 510 manses.

My family were the Perry Family, from Laois, they also had a connection to the Perry Wilkinson Instrument Makers of Dublin in the late 1700 and early 1800 anyone have any information of this family? Thanks, D. Bush

In my earlier posting I neglected to include my grandfather's name - Finton Joseph Grennan, born 1857.

Looking for any information on the above families. My Grandmother, Mary Bridget Leigh was married to my grandfather in Mountrath in 1879. Her mother's maiden name was Williams. I have no information on my grandfrather's parents names. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also, are there any of the above named families still in County Laois?

Hi, My name is Mary Wheeler from Illinois I somehow intersepted your message to AninAz, what surprised me was, I also have been searching for my family in Laois, howerer, my grandmothers name was Margaret Corcoran, she married a Thomas Walsh but they came to Illinois about 1880 if this helps in anyway please let me know. Thanjs, Mary

Hi Bill, My DUNNEs immigrated to Salem, MA, about 1830/40. They were all from Laois. Two girls, Anne (Nancy) married Carroll and her sister Margaret married Walsh. They remained in the Salem area. Two other girls Catherine and Bridget married brothers named CROE (MacENCHROE) and lived in PA. There were 3 brothers Patrick my (GGF) married MAHER, brothers John and Joseph never married. They also lived in PA. The family lost track of JOSEPH who went to New York State, where relatives were, about 1850. He was very tall and worked as a Church Sexton there. Best of luck with you search. Anne

THE METHODIST CHURCH The Methodist Society was founded by the Rev. John Wesley in 1739. It is constituted in Ireland under the Methodist Church in Ireland Acts Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State, 1928). The ministers are itinerant, five years being the longest period they can remain in any one circuit under ordinary circumstances. One, two or more are appointed to a circuit which comprises a number of congregations and they are assisted by lay preachers, leaders and prayer leaders. Out of these, with representatives elected By the Societies is formed the Leaders Meeting, at which ministers attend, one of them , called the Superintendent presiding, and this Board manages the affairs of the local society. The Quarterly meeting composed of the same officials together with the Trustees etc. manages the affairs of the Circuit. A number of Circuits forms a District. The Conference meets annually and is the supreme ecclesiastical court. It consists of 150 ministers and 150 Laymen, the President of the British Conference also being the President of the Irish one during its sessions. The number of Ministers in Great Britain is 2,562. The number in Ireland is 248. At the census if 1826 the number of people in Ireland who returned themselves as Methodists was 60, 217. The Primitive Wesleyan Methodist Society (English) and the Methodist new Connexion are now united with the Wesleyan Methodist Society in Ireland forming the Methodist Church of Ireland

Hi Anne: I don't have any information for you but I too am researching Dunn's from County Laois. My great great grandparents were THOMAS DUNN and MARGARET FINN. I assume they were married in Ireland. Thomas was born about 1821 and died on August 20, 1881 somewhere in New York State. Margaret was born about 1825 and died in Troy, NY on December 12, 1885. They came to the Hurley, NY (near Kingston) area of New York State where their children Mary, Katherine, Michael and Martin were born. Probably immigrated in the early 1850's. Thomas was a stonecutter. I never knew what part of Ireland Thomas and Margaret came from until recently when I received the death certificates of sons Michael and Martin from Norwich, NY. One of the certificates showed Queens County, Ireland as home of both Thomas and Margaret.

THE CHURCH OF IRELAND (1931) There were 33 Church of Ireland Dioceses in 1931. All incumbents on vacancies occurring, were appointed by the several Boards of Nominations, except I some cases of District Churches and Parochial Chapels, where Trustees were appointed previous to the Dis-establishment, and in parishes where , under the statutes of the Church, Donors by Endowment acquired the Patronage. Until Jan 1, 1871, the Church of Ireland was established by Law and was combined with the Church of England, by the Act of Union (1800). The Bishops and beneficed Clergy had a freehold in their offices, and in the emoluments and privileges belonging to these offices; the resources of the Church were practically all derived from the tithe rent charges, from the annual rents or produce of Church lands, from occasional private subscriptions, and from the income arising out of private benefactions. The lay members of the church were entitled to all the ministrations of its clergy without any liability to support it with their contributions; and they had neither authority nor responsibility in relation to the management of its temporal affairs. The Irish Church Act, 1869, provided that from January 1, 1871, the statutory union between the Churches of England and Ireland should be dissolved, and that the Church of Ireland should cease to be established by law. Subject to the vested interests of the then existing Bishops, Clergy and other Church officers, all such Church property of every kind was vested in the 'Commissioners of Church Temporalities' who were created by the Act and who carried out al the transactions that the Act required - in realising all items of property, selling Church lands to occupying tenants and others and discharging all liabilities imposed by the Act, and, from time to time, as parliament might direct, appropriating the surplus to various Irish purposes. All the Ecclesiastical Corporations that existed under former conditions having been dissolved by the Irish Church Act, the necessity arose for the creation of a new corporate body to take over from the Church Temporalities Commissioners whatever property and moneys under the e Act were to be transferred to the Authorities of the disestablished Church, and to be the trustee and agent in respect of property and funds subsequently acquired. This was met by the corporation in 1870 of the Representative Church Body. This body was constituted so as to include representatives from every part of Ireland. By recognising the vested interests of the Bishops, Clergy and other church officers who were in office when the Act came into operation and their rights to receive their respective emoluments during their lives and by making it a condition, that in return they should render the same service as before, an opportunity was afforded by the authorities to make plans for future church sustentation. It was eventually decided that instead of having a general plan for all Ireland , local effort would be stimulated to a greater degree, and other advantages secured by having a separate plan for each diocese or group of dioceses in which the resources of all the parishes under the plan would be pooled, and by which a steady voluntary effort on a uniform principle from the very beginning on the part of all the parishes would eventually secure on the disappearance of the last surviving annuitant, an accumulated capital, the interest on which, with the same regular annual subscriptions from the parishes, would fully meet the Stipends secured to the Clergy of the Diocese under each particular scheme. At a General Convention held in 1870, it was declared as a general and fundamental principle, that a General Synod consisting of the Archbishops and Bishops, and of representatives of the Clergy and Laity "shall have chief legislative power as may be necessary and consistent with its Episcopal constitution"" The General Synod consists of three orders, the Bishops, the Clergy and the Laity. These sit as two Houses, the House of Bishops consisting of all the Archbishops and Bishops and the House of Representatives, consisting of 216 Clerical and 432 Lay Representatives, distributed among the dioceses and elected every third year by the Diocesan Synods. The Registered Vestrymen are Church members who either own property or are resident in the parish, or are accustomed members of the congregation of the Church or Churches in the parish. They are the constituency that elects 9a0 one of the Churchwardens - the other being nominated by the Incumbent; (b) members of the Select Vestry which controls the Parochial Charity and Church Funds © the Lay Synodsmen who sit in the Diocesan Synod and (d) the three Parochial Nominators who with the Bishop and the three Diocesan Nominators elected by the Diocesan Synod elect the Board of Nomination with whom rests the appointment of the Incumbent of the parish.
