Hi list, I will do a lookup in the Naturalization Index Records from 1795-1860 for Delaware Co., PA. (There are many Irish immigrants in these records.) Please place on the subject line "only one" person's name. Do NOT send me a list of names! Please put the surname in capital (LARGE) letters so I can tell if it is the person's given name or surname: Example: James THOMAS or THOMAS, James -- NOT James Thomas. Women were NOT Naturalized in this time period -- they became a citizen if & when their husband did or when they married a man who had already became a citizen or was a citizen. If a person lives in Philadelphia or Berks Co., PA they would NOT have come to Delaware Co., PA to file citizenship papers but if a person lives in Delaware Co. he may go to Phila. to file! Hence, going from the county level to the state level to file. Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

Thanks, Margaret, All messages to rootsweb lists have been bouncing for months. My ISP had been working on it and he sent me a message this morning that he thought he finally had the problem settled with rootsweb. I was checking to make sure as when I tried posting to this list yesterday it still bounced back. Now I can post my surnames again, finally.

Hi List, I am just starting out my Irish research and looking for my O'Reilly's. My GGrandfather was born in Westmeath c1840 and migrated with his father Philip and mother Catherine Reiley (and all derivatives), and brother Patrick to South Australia on the Lady McNaughton in 1947. I would appreciate any help on the correct direction to take to undertake the research. I can do Australian research in return.

I am reposting my search for the Flinn/Flynn family of Co. Meath. Lawrence Flinn b.abt 1799, m. Catherine Reilly. Children were John, b. abt 1824; Easter (Heesy), b. 16 Mar 1829 Adamstown, Co. Meath;Thomas, b. 24 Jan 1832 Adamstown; Thomas b. 4 May 1833 Moy, Co. Meath; and Peter b. 5 Sept 1835. I imagine the first Thomas died in early infancy. Lawrence, John, Easter, and Thomas emigrated to the U.S. 2 June 1849. Thomas married Jane Kerrigan in East Troy, Wisconsin in 1856 and after living there with his family, and in Kansas for a few years, they finally settled near Eau Claire, Wisconsin where some of the family still live on the homestead. Peter did not emigrate with the rest at that time, nor did Catherine. Did they survive and are there descendants still in the county? After they arrived in the U.S., I have no knowledge of Lawrence, John, or Easter. Where did they go? Hopefully, Joanne Krause

This appeared on another list but thought some might be interested since he was from County Meath. Received permission to post to this list and was told that it was part of public domain. Beannachtai, Margaret (Mairead) >From online edition of 1911 [?] Catholic Encyclopedia Eugene O'Growney Priest, patriot, and scholar, b. 25 August, 1863, at Ballyfallon, County Meath; d. at Los Angeles, 18 Oct., 1899. Neither parent spoke Irish and it was little used where he was born; in fact, he was ignorant of the existence of a language of Ireland until a student at St. Finian's seminary at Navan. His interest in the language begun there continued at Maynooth, where from his entrance in 1882 he devoted himself to the study of the Irish language, antiquities, and history. His holidays he spent in the Irish-speaking parts of the country where he acquired his knowledge of the spoken language. Ordained in 1888, in 1891 he was appointed professor of Irish at Maynooth, and at about the same time became editor of the "Gaelic Journal". At the instance of the Archbishop of Dublin he began his series of "Simple Lessons in Irish', first published in the "Weekly Freeman", which have done more than any other book in the last two centuries to familiarize thousands of Irish with the language of their ancestors. He was one of the founders of the Gaelic League, organized in Dublin in 1893 "for the purpose of keeping the Irish language spoken in Ireland", and later became its vice-president, which position he held until his death. In 1894, failing health sent him to Arizona and California, where he died. Some years after, with the aid of the Irish in the United States, his body was brought back to Ireland and buried at Maynooth. An earnest and tireless worker, his services to the Gaelic League out-weigh those of all his fellow-workers to the present day, not that his scholarship was above criticism, but because he came at the moment when a man of his kind was needed.

G'day List, My ancestors included several High Sheriffs of Meath in their number. I am particularly interested in the first of the Wade family at Clonabraney, named Henry Wade who received land there after the Cromwellian settlements. In fact his grant of land was not until 1684, but he was High Sheriff in 1669 and various of his descendents were also High Sheriffs over the period up to the end of the 1800s. (My own family had by then been away from their Irish roots for well over 100 years.) Can anyone suggest where I should look to find out how Henry Wade came to be given this roll in 1669, when he is also listed as having been a soldier in Cromwell's Army (1649-1653) and the High Sheriff position is one that has to be approved, at least nominally, by the King. I would have thought that Charles II would not have been keen to appoint an ex-soldier of his father's enemy?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Robert Wade near Brisbane, Australia

As an aside to my post about John Pratt Campbell (who was a strong Orangeman), I picked up a book about Orangeism titled Orangeism: Sketches of the History of the Institution in Ireland at a used bookstore a while back. Just this week I finally looked at it and realized that it was written by Daniel O'Connell and published in Boston, USA in 1872. Having read about O'Connell between the purchase of the book and the above realization, it put the messages in the book in perspective. Alan

My great grandfather, John Pratt Campbell claimed ,in a letter dated 2 January 1893, that he had been in the constabulary in Ireland: ".I have served Her Majesty with a red coat and 5 years in the constabulary in Ireland and was at the taking of Dan O'Connell, Smith, O'Brien and Mitchell on Tara Hill." If I have interpreted my Irish history text correctly, O'Connell was arrested in 1843 but not at Tara Hill. Can anyone clarify the situation for me? Am I interpreting this correctly to think that the red coat meant military service separate from the constabulary? Are there any records in which one could find names of constables other than the Royal Irish Constabulary? Any help would be appreciated. Alan

Aus.Tasmania and Sydney lists were in the doldrums the other month, until I suggested a Roll Call. My, that gave us a lot of work. but at least it stirred everyone up... now both lists are working fine!!! My interests for Co.Meath are PENTONY present. past and future thanks!! Maiden name. I am from London...So any connections. I am waiting for you thank you in New Zealand.

Good day all, and welcome to Pentony and all researchers. Surname Pentony does not appear in my tree which runs substantially to Kelly and precursors of the surname. I am happy to see such renewed activity on this list.........whatever works is welcome. I call upon everyone to check your trees for surnames of ancestors who lived in Royal Meath, match them with other records and help each other all we can. This is so much fun and tops on my wishlist is to find more time to contribute to what I love to do, genealogy and history. I remind everyone of the messages that appear in the taglines; you will find me most cooperative in advancing the useable research content of the Meath and Westmeath websites. For those who prosecute research interests in Royal Meath (the original 5th Province) of Ireland, who also have the burning desire with abilities to maintain websites on the internet, both counties Meath and Westmeath are adoptable. Because the history of Meath is the history of Westmeath, best solution is to adopt both counties out to the same researcher. Lots of records serve both counties. If you are interested in joining the Ireland Genealogy Project consisting of 32 counties, please click on "reply to sender" (not the list) and let me know of your experience. Thanks all and have a great day.
