I did ask him in some detail why he thought he was a Farrell, and he was able to satisfy me that he probably is a Farrell by direct male line descent so he is in. Ordinarily I wouldn't care, but if he wasn't a Farrell at all, his results would skew the project, and we have enough different lines as it is, just limiting to Farrell surnames. We are waiting for his results right now. J Denning Farrell Surname Project [/B][/QUOTE] Lets forget the fact that all names didnt start in one time slot and space and cover everyone what we have here is a tree this tree grew for xxxxx years with out names just sons of then names came and for whatever reasons branches in the tree took names. kind of like splicing in branches . the gardener was quite adept at splicing you may have a elm trunk but the branches are oak maple and spruce. not to be out done the gardiner did apple cherry even orange. you may not like it it may seem alittle unseemly but he did alot of these strange conglomerants. when pushed for a name one he names Denning another Farrell and yet another Carroll. in time as this treee grew all the splices took some became more prosperous then others but they all added character and special qualities unexpeced in the beginning , Some of these where from experiances in locations other interactions with other trees many found different qualities in the same trees did better in different suroundings in northern climate s the elm maple and apples did well. in southern areas oranges cherries flourished xxxx amount of years latter the seeds are the same no matter where. the tree grows and changes but the base qualities inserted by the gardiner remain. like all things it adapt and reacts but its still the Farrell tree we can only sit back and admire it and its survivability The use of DNA is to establish which branch you are on what part of the tree Jim Denning Chelsea,Ma.-Woburn,Ma.-denning-dennen-danin-dinan-dinihey-denningston-dinning- carlon-carroll-dever-cogan-malone-heslin-piscopo-mazzola-martini-farrell-mchug h-farley-grimes-lynch-doherty-SanDanto,Ita-Adargh,longford-Revere,Ma-Wintrop,M a.-sprague- and ever growing list

I asked him his family nickname and he mentioned they were the "Black Jack" McGoverns from Ballinamore. This has me very interested since my McGoverns originate from Ballinamore and referred to themselves as "Black" McGoverns. Have anyone ever heard of these McGoverns or know of someone I might ask more questions about them? Noel was gracious enough to tell me a bit about his McGoverns, but did not seem like he wanted to get much into his family history.

Am responding to numerous contributions about the Griffith's Land Valuation and the Revised Land Valuations after the Griffith's in hopes that what I have found will help others and that some of my "assumptions" are correct. My Irish ancestors either left or died in Counties Cork, Galway and Leitrim before the Girffith's Valuation; so all my research of Griffith's and the revised Land Valuations have lead me to siblings of my great great great grandfather Patrick Fee of County Leitrim. Am still stuck for "real" leads for my Cork O'Neil, Murphy and O'Connell ancestors and my Maddens of Galway. I know that my Fee family came from the Ballinamore area of County Leitrim. But I hsve never been able to find my great great great grandfather Patrick Fee who refused to leave his land during the Famine of the 1840s and 1850s. Most of his chidren left between 1848 and 1851. The family story states that Patrick remained in Irealnd, died there in 1853 and that after he died his wife Catherine Tubman Fee came to America with her 3 youngest childre and joined the rest of her children in Hingham, Massachusetts. I have found Catherine and the 3 youngest children on a Passinger Ship entering Boston in March of 1853 and settling in Hingham. I found a James Fee in Liscuilfea townland within the "Ballinamore area" of County Leitrim on the 1833 Tithe Valuation. By the 1854 Griffith's, James was gone, believe he died but since there are no death records for that period of time, I can only assume James died versus having left Ireland. A John Fee was listed on the 1854 Griffith's on the same Liscuilfea land along with a Rose Fee who was renting a small house from him. I traced John's family on the Revised Valuations; and in conjunction with 1901 and 1911 Census returns have identified all of his family members. Rose Fee either died or left in the late 1850s as she was crossed out on subsequent Revised Valuations and John never rented the house again. No death record has been found for Rose yet...but there "should" be one as there were death records at the time she no longer appears on the Revised Land Valuations....ugh...... I have traced, through family stories and John's children, the fact that he was the brother to my ggggrandfather Patrick Fee. Family stories also said that Patrick and John had a brother James Fee. I have theorized that the James Fee on the Liscuilfea land for the 1833 Tithe was this brother. And that Rose Fee was James' wife who as a widow when John "got" the land, rented from her brother-in-law. Using Irish naming traditions, I further substantiate this by the fact that my Patrick's third son was named James Fee. Naming traditions name the first son after the father's father, second son after the mother's father and the third son after the father's eldest brother. If James Fee on the Tithe of 1833 was John's father then after James had died, his wife Rose would have lived with her son John versus renting from him. Am I on the right tract believing that since Rose Fee rented from John Fee that she would probably have been John's sister-in-law versus his mother? What son would make his mother rent a house from him? I have further theorized that James and Rose Fee were husband wife with a Bridget Fee (from County Leitrim) who shows up in Hingham, Massachusetts with Patrick's children in the 1850s. This Bridget was the godmother to some of Patrick's grandchildren....I therefore theorized she was a close relative! From Bridget Fee's marriage record, her parents were a James and Rose (Stratton) Fee. Same James and Rose Fee of Liscuilfea? Hopefully some of my "deductions" will help others to research all land "valuations" (Tithe, Griffith's and Revised Land Valuations) as they present a marvelous image of whom lived where, who neighbors were and how the land passed from one family member to another. Usually the land went to the oldest son, but many times one finds daughter's getting the land...thus perhaps no sons or all the sons left Ireland or died. It is all a fascinating and fun detective's tracking! I am very open to any and all comments on my "theories" and deductions. Marcie

For you who are checking this out it is a Project for the towns of Chelsea,Revere [No. Chelsea ,Prattsville,]and Winthrop Massachusetts.We are doing this in conjuction with the [email protected] mailing list. It is a special list which you can see the archives from at http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/MACHELSEA/We will cover any name found in the three towns. But the idea is that you have records of someone from the towns.It is designed to confirm the relationships between famlies of Chelsea,Revere and Winthrop Ma. The list members have many connections already. The idea is to also establish links we do not have yet on paper . Giving you a better conception of what paper trails will be beneficial to follow Suppose you are a MCGOVERN who is attached by Paper to the HOLLAND,MILTON ,HENDERSONs. you should be able to prove your relationship with the HOLLAND HENDERSON people on the list. Now even with the results the list has given us so far. We can go furthur The [email protected] mailing list is interested in expanding its goal of achieving the genealogy of Chelsea,Winthrop,Revere [No.Chelsea Prattsville] Ma.. these three towns have served as a haven and resting place for people who have migrated from other lands to a new one. Ever since its commission it has served that purpose. These people interacted and this is an attempt to show that story. This url is the archives http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/MACHELSEA/ Looking thru the names you can see the diversity. We have tied many small families into clans. Some into larger family groups. Hopefully the DNA will allow us to move one step closer to solving the puzzles the intention is to use MTDNA besides the YDNA If you have questions about your heritage, Family Tree DNA has the Y-DNA and mtDNA tests that in conjuction with the largest comparative databases of their kind may provide clues leading to the answer to this and many other questions Y-Chromosome - DNA Tests MTDNA tests the mtDNA of females and the female lineage of males (HVR1). Results are placed in our mtDNA database and when 2 people show the same identical polymorphism, we will inform both parties if you have both signed the FTDNA Release Form. The customer receives a report generally describing mtDNA, the meaning of polymorphism, your differences from the Cambridge Reference Sequence and the meaning of probability between matches. Ethnic and Geographic Origins: this test also allows you to identify your ethnic and geographic origins, both recent and far distant. Among other features, this test will also be able to indicate your Native-American Ancestry and which of the 5 major groups that settled in the Americans you are most likely to be descended from. It can also describe African Ancestry as well as other ethnic origins Its this tool which should help indicate who is repated to who in chelsea. It will have the Y DNA TEST FOR MALES this does show direct Ancestors All Y-DNA tests allow you to identify your ethnic and geographic origins, both recent and far distant on your direct male descending line. Among others, you will be able to check your Native-American or African Ancestry as well as for the Cohanim Ancestry. poit is its easy and painless to do and will help you and all of us in our quests for all this info http://www.familytreedna.com/default.asp for tutorials http://www.familytreedna.com/dna101.html for pricing and ordering http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=E58068&special=True& projecttype=G to join email me [email protected] Jim Denning Chelsea,Ma.-Woburn,Ma.-denning-dennen-danin-dinan-dinihey-denningston-dinning- carlon-carroll-dever-cogan-malone-heslin-piscopo-mazzola-martini-farrell-mchug h-farley-grimes-lynch-doherty-SanDanto,Ita-Adargh,longford-Revere,Ma-Wintrop,M a.-sprague- and ever growing list
