Leitrim wher Thomas died at a young age and his children and widow moved to the US. My g-g-grandfather James moved to US around 1871 and lived in Hubbard OHIO. Karen

My grandfather was also James Farnon and retired to Caul Hill in approx 1940. They usually refered to it as being in Laurencetown Have not done any research for some years but have a tree which includes Leo and his five childen, but no other information on that line. I'll have another look at what material I have tomorrow (its 12.05) Regards Brendan

I, too, am looking for McGowan's in Leitrim. Supposedly, it is quite a common name, equivalent to "Smith". Some of my information has come from my grandfather's "autobiography", which has been generally reliable; the rest from records I've been able to dig up. My great-grandmother was Ellen E. McGowan of Manorhamiton, Leitrim. IRE. Best estimate puts her birth date as December 1846. Her parents were Thomas McGowan and Mary. Griffith's 1848-1864 shows a (one) Thomas McGowan at Manorhamilton Main St. Parish of Cloonclare. Ellen emigrated in the 1860's to the Boston area and married. Richard McKay in Boston in 1866. There was another woman named Rose or Rosana McGowan living in the Boston area in the 1860's. She and my gr-grandfather's brother were godparents to the oldest McKay son, Patrick. (I'm thinking ?? sister?) Ellen had sisters, one or two at least who were still in the Manorhamilton or Enniskillen region in the early 1900's when she went back to visit. Apparently there were O'Reilly nephews, so one of the sisters likely married an O'Reilly. Anyone have any ideas for me ? Spot any connections ? Thanks much !! Edith Cornett

Do you have any further info about John and Anne? Any idea of when they lived? I have a lot of info about Keegans from Cloone although it is not exhaustive. At the moment the only John and Anne I can find are John Keegan and Anne McGowan of Annaghmacullen, Cloone. It would indeed be interesting if they were your people because if they were I could point you towards some modern relatives. I have recorded three children for them. James baptised 15th Dec 1887 - sponsors James Keegan and Mary Duignan Mary baptised 9th Oct 1889 - sponsors James McGowan and Cath Keegan Bridget baptised 1st Feb 1891 - sponsors James Murray and Bridget Keegan Mary married Pat McLoughlin in Cloone on 27th Apr 1925. If you let me have any details I can have another look Jim

Sharon, Are you interested in finding earlier generations of your great grandparents? Do you have access to a (LDS) Family History Center? You might be able to order films for the parish records, and go through them to find baptisms for your great grandparents. I am not sure if you have done this or not. Then you could search for your great great grandfathers in the Griffiths Valuations. If found, you can order maps showing where their farms were (if any). You can also go forward with the parish records (if they exist) and find out who the siblings may have married in that Parish, and then their children who were baptized (if any). Not sure how much you want to pursue.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YWC.2ACI/5380 Message Board Post: Familytreesonline.co.uk - Newsletter Issue 4 1/6/2006 Hi Welcome to the monthly newsletter! This month has been pretty much Cornish oriented as demanded by you the users of this site, thanks for the feedback! There are a few other bits and pieces in here too, but more of that later. I’ve also been kept quite busy with my responsibilities as an Online Parish Clerk. I’ve neglected my transcriptions a bit getting this site up and running, so I went back to do a bit this month, in case anyone was wondering why I hadn’t added to the site for a couple weeks J. If anybody has had any interest in the Parish of Sithney, Cornwall, then look out soon for some new additions to that site. Enough with the waffling! Updates Well this month, as mentioned previously, has been mainly devoted to Cornwall, but not entirely……. Firstly we’ll start with one of the big guns of Cornish ancestry that has sprung up in recent years. The Cornwall Online Census Project (COCP) was started by the same people that started up the OPC scheme, and is very similar, but with the obvious exception that they deal with all parishes in Cornwall, and just the census returns at that. It has recently undergone a number of changes, the main one is that a search engine facility is now up and running, making it incredibly easy to find those elusive ancestors. Its still a work in progress, with the 1871 & 1881 census returns being undertaken, and the 1901 census is in the pipeline. This is one of the essential sites for finding you’re Cornish roots. Another Society has submitted for listing. The Cornish Forefathers Society has a site where you can buy all manner of transcriptions and is also chock full of links, well worth a visit. An interesting little site has also crossed my path this month. If you have found a lline of ancestry that disappears into thin air, have you ever thought that they may have gone to South America? A little known site that covers these people can now be found on my site, I found a number of odd cousins after a few minutes of searching. Also in the Cornish vein are a mining index site, some 16th century wills and also sites pertaining to the parishes of St Erth and Illogan. I did digress a bit as a few sites crossed my path. A brilliant site that finds graves for you - you can even look up the rich and famous! Also to be found this month are genealogy sites covering the Counties of Houghton & Keweenaw in Michigan, A wills exchange site which is useful and a new project specialising in Pennsylvanian ancestry. There is also a Canadian census site, and a site put together by a lady researching her own ancestry, which takes us from several Cornish parishes, to Pennsylvania again and then some. A good variety that I hope you can all find some use for. By no means have I added all the Cornish sites out there, but more will be coming soon. Coming this month..... I’m blowed if I know what I’m adding this month! I’ve had a real variety of stuff arriving, including a massive file containing links to New Zealand sites and loads more. I think I even got some links for Polish ancestry, anyone from Poland?? Thanks this month go to.... Blanche Charles For submitting the NZ stuff as mentioned above - it’ll keep me busy for months, love it!! Looking forward to working with you in the next month regards Damien
