Hello List Members: I have recently re-joined this list since I have discovered some new information concerning my family research in Longford. Thanks to a message from one of the List Members about the military lists available on-line at Kew, I was able to connect some information I have from my research on Denis MARTIN, here in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada, and his service with the 27th Foot Regiment. His records state that he was from Longford, Longford, Ireland. I have been trying to find evidence of a connection to Denis Martin and my gggrandmother, Mary Martin INNIS, of Longford, for a long time. Once I found this information about Denis, I ordered the LDS film for the Parish Records of Templemichael and Ballymacormack, Diocese of Ardagh and Clonmagnois. Amazingly, I believe I may have found the entry for my Martin Martin Innis' baptism in 1819 along with those of her sisters and brothers. I also found a marriage for a Denis Martin to Eleanor (or Ellen) GANLY in 1816. The children I have found, so far, are Michael, Patrick, Bridget (2 separate entries for this name), Eleanor and Mary. I am still transcribing the entries from the film so I may discover others. Would anyone know if, and how, more information can be found about the on-line military service indexes found at Kew? Also, if anyone has any connection to, or information about, the MARTIN/GANLY families, I would be delighted to hear from you. The Ganly and Martins names seem to be connected to the DOWD, NOWLAN, QUINN, McCORMICK, COX, KENNEDY, McGUIRE, McKEON, McNEAL, KELLY, and McGEOY names in the Parish Records too if these are of interest to anyone. Regards, Lynne. _________________________________________________________________ Take charge with a pop-up guard built on patented Microsoft® SmartScreen Technology http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=http://hotmail.com/enca&HL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines Start enjoying all the benefits of MSN® Premium right now and get the first two months FREE*.

Lynne, I know this is an old message, but just got around to emailing you. I have Dowd family connections, but don't know where they came from. I'd be interested in seeing or hearing more about the records you have. My GGF was Patrick Dowd (b. 1866 emigrated to US 1886) who had brothers John (b. abt 1857, emigrated to US 1883) and Martin (b abt 1865, emigrated to US 1885?). Their parents were Thomas Dowd and Elizabeth Ansbro. Thanks for any help with records.
