Hi! I would like to hear from those whose ancestors emigrated to Ontario during the famine! Mine were SCYTHES/SYTHES, MEREDITH, and related families BANTING, CARTER, HIPWELL, CLARK, and FIFE who emigrated 1842-1847 from Ballyfin, Laois (formerly Queens County). Cheers from Linda
I would be interested to hear from anyone whose Irish ancesters moved to England during the famine (1840s/1850s). Thanks Tim

Hi there, I have added an Encumbered Estate to the County Laois (IGP) website. The estate belonged to Peter GALE Esq. and encompassed Ashfield, Gale and Raheen Div. Encumbered estates were those which were sold due to debt. The tenants are listed. It was common to have a lease of "lives" which meant as long as the named people were alive the lease was in effect. It could be difficult to know when people had died so sometimes well known figures were named since their deaths were well known. The eldest children of the Queen were being named in many of these leases. Not of genealogical use but that was why it was done. I have two more estate maps to add but it's late so I will do them tomorrow. If this area is of interest the url is: www.rootsweb.com/~irllex Regards, Christina North Carolina, USA

Patrick Dunn(e) was born approx. 1861 in Ireland. His father was James Dunne and his mother was a Brennan. He married a Bridget Kelly around 1879 in Ireland. Her father was Richard Kelly and her mother was Mary Cullen. They had a child named Mary before they left for England about 1880. They had another child, named Bridget in England. Patrick left England and came to Dock St., in Philadelphia, Pa. on board the steamship 'Lord Clive' in May of 1882. Another child was born in England, named Rose. Bridget and the rest of the family came over on board the ' SS Pennsylvania' on May 1883. They also came over with a Margaret Dunn. The name Dunne was used when they boared the steamship in England but was changed to Dunn when they departed in Philadelphia. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone Here is the solution to the problem with the CD Rom drive if you are running WindowsXP and FTM Archive CD's. > > I am sending you the instructions that FTM sent me . I couldn't read any of my Family Tree Archive CD's. It worked for me - hopefully it will work for you. Be sure to follow all the instructions.

This usually happens when you have more than one CD-ROM drive installed on your computer. Family Tree Maker may not know which drive letter corresponds to your CD-ROM drive.

Hi Everyone. I am hoping that I can get some assistance from some kind person. I have just changed my PC and I am now working in WindowsXP. I have loaded Family Tree Maker and it works fine but I cannot read the GV CD-Rom. I have installed the Family Archive Viewer V4 but WindowsXP doesn't like the programme for some reason. Has anyone else had this problem and could thy advise. I am unable to do any searchers/look-ups until this problem is solved. Regards Michael Brennan in Kent, England.

Michael - I think you can read your CDs direct from FTM. I used to have a copy loaded just because it reads the CDs better than does FAV. I get an error message at least half the time I start FAV and have to reboot just so I can use a CD. I no longer have a copy of FTM so I am forced to use the viewer.

Happy to report that Rootsweb is back online. Regards, Christina North Carolina, USA
Just a reminder... As some of you may have noticed, Rootsweb is down today as they continue to upgrade/move servers. I had an email I sent one of my lists take about 48 hours so I guess we may see delays with list mail. <G> Lists fall into different areas and they work on one area at a time so you may see no mail for one list while other mail continues. I have been able to use the archives though. If you are bored without Rootsweb you can try reading various archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ Regards, Christina North Carolina, USA
