several years ago i went to neghsand some people from byu were there and they had <A HREF="http://smgf.org:8081/pubgen/site15.jsp">this project</A> . i participated what it wass destined to do was to determine where your ancsestors traveled. i had to give then four generations on all sides . this was so they could know who, where they were.they explained it and said eventually if your a geneaologist and doing the name DENNING . You could go to them and submit dna and find out that my genes stayed in chelsea ma for while ,previos stays of length were in ardagh,longford,lothiam scotland, dover england, and serbia. This facinated me . but the topper was that they showed us a map of the world and said sure england grmany france ,america even south america had tons of dots indicating markers. One place had none. Africa was a place no one had been able to donate dna and four generations of family tree info. So they would need to travel there and convince people to donate dna. with alot of others from maybe england and other place that would have the geneaological info. One day this would allow blacks in america to use their dna to locate the nation country tribe and village their predecessors lived. Imagine the travel agencies booking passage to these villages . we get excited at finding grandmas aunt,lol. this is whats capable thru dna.and its alread done at http://smgf.org:8081/pubgen/site15.jsp 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 Jim Denning

Martin at [email protected] writes: > John McKone born at Drummond Can teitrin Co Ireland <snip> born at Drummond Cane teitrin Co Ireland <snip>I I think it must be Leitrim County but don't know what "Drummond Can" means. < Martin, The Leitrim idea seems likely, as "t" and "l" on a worn tombstone can often appear alike - the same with "m" and "n". I have a feeling that the "Drummond Can" is actually a representation of a single placename word - with an inadvertent space or a completely worn-away letter in that location. Just a hunch, mind you <gr>. There are about 195 townlands/towns starting with Drum in Co. Leitrim (I have the listings on Excel files - it may be different on the www.seanruad.com website). You might want to check through those placenames, such as those starting with Druman, Drumin, Drumman. Just go to the seanruad site, enter Drum under townland, Leitrim under "county" and "beginning with" under the search method. By the way, I checked for alternative "Drom" townlands, but there are only 5 listings there - all Dromores. I'll have to admit that looking through all of those Drum- names, I still can't see a suitable name......whether ignoring the space, or putting any letter in place of it. The "Can/Cane" may be the problem, but as you probably don't have a photograph of the tombstone, you're sort-of stuck with the transcription. I'm not sure I can be of any more help (if you can call any of my above, "help"), but let me know if you have any more questions. Quickly, though, as I'm leaving for Ireland the beginning of next week and won't be back until the end of the month. Or just wait until then - those McKones in Nebraska aren't in any rush <gr>.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YWC.2ACI/4969.1 Message Board Post: Martin, The problem with transcriptions is that the person transcribing them may not know Irish place names so there's not only a difficulty in reading the stone because of weather deterioration but in understanding what it might be saying! There's a list of all townlands and civil parishes in Co. Leitrim, and Ireland, at http://www.seanruad.com There are no names from Co. Leitrim which appear to match the internet transcription. Additional research in church and civil records in the US may make that location more apparent. Eilis O'Hara

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YWC.2ACI/4968.1.1 Message Board Post: Actually, I have a number of photographs and the name "Annie McPortland" or McPartland is on at least one of them. I got so involved in reading the posts that I didn't realize that I was making a query only on the Ireland board. I will also post a query on the Iowa board and the McPartland board. I am not related to anyone in the photos, but I am very interested in geneaology and when I saw an old photo album in a local "goodwill"-type of store, I bought it. The pictures are just great - and there are alot of them. Many of them are specifically dated "1873". This album needs to be returned to this family. I'd love to know their stories! Other names: O'Brien, Smith, Harper (I think). Places mentioned: Chicago, Buffalo, NY, Burlington, Iowa, & the Churchill School in Illinois. Thanks for your quick response. If you do have any leads, I'd be happy to hear about them. Thanks - Anne

I have updated the Ireland books section of my website. There are now two parts, parish history books and all other books pertaining to Ireland. This month books were added to all sections along with many new lookup volunteers. Since many books, especially the Parish History books are out of print so the lookup volunteers are being very unselfish with their time to help others and many thanks go to them for helping to make this website such an wonderful resource for Ireland family researchers. Those who submitted books this month, please check your entries for accuracy, since I do make mistakes. You can access the pages by going to the URL below my name. On my homepage, at the top, under Ireland, click on Ireland Books. This will take you to the Ireland Books Discussion Mailing List website. At the bottom of that webpage, under "Ireland Book Websites", you will find the links. If you have books that you would like to submit or if you would like to volunteer to do lookups, please use the convenient forms at the bottom of all the book webpages. I update the sites each month and will add your books with the next update. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton
