Cara, three points. 1. I'm known to the world as Bryan. (Mr. Morgan? Who's he?) 2. >>"But one question I have for Mr Morgan if the Kings did not play well with >>the Kings next door, ( quote from your email) "so he and his kindom was >>ousted" what is a kindom.........his family or his ???" I didn't write that - nothing to do with me! It's a signature file generated by the list owner... 3. >>"Cheey Cara" Er - what's a 'Cheey'?

Hi, How are you doing? I hope the snow is melting. I was wondering how do i get the data on the Mcdermott's. I don't belong to Ancestry.com, It sounds like you live in the outback, although I've seen pictures of Austraila, looks live a beautiful country. It finally cooled down here, but expecting another heatwave over the weekend. Is your first name Cara, I like to address people by their names. Take Care , have a good weekend , Eileen

This is not good enough what happened to the mail from Meath no one here no one swapping info well Looking for these Parents of Thomas O"Donoghue, Elizabeth Burns and Michael and like everyone else very little known of them in fact only there names gleaned from my Grandfathers wedding certificate and he even claims to be born in the same year as gran .........but he claimed his father was a plumber what if any big estates were in or around the Old Castle area Got to go boil the billy guys, anyone for kangaroo burgers *YUK* and billy tea But i can make a mean damper.......oh sorry musnt put a dampener on anything hey wheres the resident critic .......hi Mr Morgan how are you the pics were indeed a delight I only wish my mother was still here to have shown her. I see it was raining there, and the cars were modern, didnt see any 4wd tractors of course, but dont bite me I know they exist how else would the farmer in Ireland make such a dirty mess of the road if he wasnt driving that flashy tractor around..... please check for my spelling mistakes and correct for me.......

Hello I have following all Meath information on this web site. I certainly appreciate all the information as my ancestors came from that area. I am interested in the Askin family, Booker, & all related to them. I have a George Askin md to Ann, John Askin md to Hannah Booker, & Eleazer Askin ( ggrandad) md to Chalrotte Elizabeth Warren. The family was at Athboy & Oldcastle. Would dearly love to see the pictures from these areas, Unfortunately I do not seem to be able to download from your site? What can I do? I am pleased with everyone's efforts to make this a super site. Keep up the good work, it is really welcome. Ivah Clarke in Canada

Dear Ivah, I can't answer you but hopefully some one can, both groups of pictures are linked to the main page below- and are coming up fine for me...It may still be that rootsweb are working on their servers. http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlmea2/b/meath.htm Betty PS- I added your Askin information to the surname page ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: July 12, 2002 8:57 AM Subject: Re: [MEATH] Photos of Oldcastle and other trivia Hello I have following all Meath information on this web site.

From Bryan in Wales... My sincere thanks for the kind appreciation received from so many of you for the pictures of Oldcastle. My modem is now in a bucket of water cooling off. On my next visit I will do a similar job on other places in the area. I would have done this time but it rained. Oh how it rained... It's the worst summer in living memory over there and farmers unable to make hay or silage are seriously concerned about how they are to feed their livestock this winter. Cara says the cars were "modern" - you bet they were. Ireland has severe laws that prevent unsafe "Old Bangers" from taking to the road. The vehicle insurance is sky high, easily being in the region of £700 ($980) for a year's BASIC insurance for a small compact. Add to that an annual 'road tax' of £400 ($560) and motoring in Ireland becomes an expensive business. Yet being so rural, you have to have a car or you don't get to get anywhere. Yes there is a limited bus service from Oldcastle to Kells, Navan etc, but what happens when you live eight miles from the bus stop? Incidentally you can tell the age and place of registration of an Irish car by its number plate. Just visible in the last of my photos is a car number plate that starts with '01 CN', which means it's a 2001 model registered in Cavan. Now a bit for Eileen: The ancient Celtic "Cross of Kells" always used to stand at the crossroads in the centre of the town. Recently this centuries old monument was hit by a bus and very nearly destroyed. Thankfully it has been restored and moved to a safe place on a plinth outside the old courthouse where it is also under a nicely designed perspex canopy to prevent further weather erosion, and a panel describing its history.

Sorry to have to run, but its not a soft day here, we are having snow and I have to get the 4WD out to get the children from where they are stranded, on the other side of the river, marvelous things these pieces of modern equiptment.

Hi Bryan, I'd love to see the pictures of Oldcastle. Thank you. The heat is letting up some so it's more comfortable now. Can you tell me if Killskeer is rural? I'd love to visit Ireland some day. I hope the rain let up. Sounds like you've had enough rain. Take Care, Eileen

Interesting history was centered there, like for example, Meath was a Province of Ireland, but the King didn't play well with the Kings next door, so he and his kindom was ousted. >

>>It is so hot here today. Heavens Eileen - where in the world are YOU?!!! It's rained non-stop so hard in Oldcastle that my brother-in-law's 4 wheel drive 8 litre tractor was being used to pull other farmer's tractors out of their fields and the cattle were sinking up to their knees in the fields. No I'm not exaggerating. Now I REALLY know what a "soft day" is!

Hi Bryan, I live in Phila. Pa. I was in the 90's today. My ggrandparents were both from meath my ggrandfather was from Killskeer or Kilskyre not sure of the spelling. My ggrandmother was from Kells. I would love to visit Ireland heard it's the most beautiful place. Everyone I know that's been there loves it. Thank You for your help. Everyone here has been so kind. Take Care, Eileen

Hi, I would very much appreciate the Mcdermott information. The snow sounds so good to me cause it's in the 90's here. And i am a cold weather person. I hope your kids didn't have to wait to long in the snow. Thank you for your help. As i said my ggrandmother was 1 of 16 kids. How do you go about looking at old wills? My mother also said she thought her grandmother Jane Mcdermott had told her some Mcdermott's went to S. Africa, but she could'nt be absolutley positive about that. My mother passed 18 years ago so i don't have anyone to confirm that. Take Care, Stay Warm Eileen
