I don't know of any of my people emigrating from Monaghan, for most of mine are from Tallow, in Waterford. But our Directoress is a close friend, so here I am. February 15, !817, Bartholomew Bossidy married Alice White in Tallow. She was the daughter of Maurice White and Margaret Casel (Casshel, Cashill). She had two siblings, Honor and Michael. There were several Bossidys in Tallow at the time, some being married there as early as 1799, and some most likely being Bartholomew's siblings. John Bossidy Connecticut, USA johnp.boss@home.com

Ancestors of James Swann, who immigrated to the Carolinas in 1787 or 1788, thought to be from Magheranaharney Townland. Any other Swann families from Antrim as well. Anita

Facts are pretty much non-existent, but George Corry was likely born 28 November 1764 in Ematris Parish, Cavan County or Monaghan County, Ireland. The father was Thomas Corry and the mother, Mrs. Thomas Corry. At some point, George left Ireland for England and served as a private in the First Regiment, Life Guards from 1790 to 1802. He married Margaret Cole on 2 September 1790 in London, England. In 1817, George and Margaret and their children left England for Canada settling first in the Bathurst, Lanark County area of Upper Canada. George was granted 100 acres of land in Canada and his sons also were granted 100 acres when each reached the age of 21. George later "traded" the unproductive Bathurst land for 100 acres in the Plympton, Lambton County area of Upper Canada. We have no death date for either George or Margaret and no birth, parents, etc. for Margaret. I am a descendent of their son, George, born in 1808. There is limited information about most of the other children with the most information being for Isaac Corry who settled and remained in the Bathurst area. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

I didn't put my MARTIN on the roll call because it is believed she came from accross the border in County Tyrone. Mary Ellen MARTIN emigrated to Philadelphia in 1867. She married James GLASSE, also from Tyrone (Cookstown area) in Philadelphia in 1870 - family story is that they met on the ship from Ireland. ----- Original Message ----- From: <AlRose509@aol.com> To: <IRL-MONAGHAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 4:27 PM Subject: MARTIN, LARKIN, McGOUGH, WILSON, McMAHON, McCULLOUGH, McDERMOTT, GARGAN, GARLAND > MARTIN connections shown below. > > Thomas H.

Looking for Gormley family from Rockcorry, County Monaghan. Brother, James and Joseph emigrated from Rockcorry to Pickering, Canada between 1825-1835.as farmers. Does anyone have anything about them when they were residents of Ireland? Regards, Brian Gormley

I've searched the marriage records in both Ireland and Scotland to the extent that I know how and found no trace of a Slowey/Davidson union. And I have no place of origin for either, but since there seem to be more Sloweys around and about Monaghan than elsewhere, that is where I am looking. John J. Slowey (b. 1841) and Elizabeth Davidson (b.22 June 1842/1847) are a set of my ggrandparents. Family history says that they were Irish, however their 1st two children were born in Glasgow. They were Elizabeth, b. 17 Feb 1866, and James, b. about 1868. John J.and family emigrated to North America in 1869/1870. They are not found on the passenger lists of East Coast ports, so perhaps they entered N. America through Canada, although I've not found them there either. They are found in the city directory of Allegheny City (now North Pittsburgh) in and after 1870. Three more children were born there, Eleanor, Catharine, and Mary Josephine (my grandmother) In 1876 they moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas. They are found there in the 1880 census. John died in about 1883, but Elizabeth lived on to move to St. Louis, MO in about 1893 Frank Gebhart frankge@sprintmail.com

or almost I have just uploaded a page with listings of the articles found in the Irish Ancestor an Irish Genealogical Journal. I am missing the contents list for 1983 and there are a few volumes which I don't have the page numbers for but I'll correct that as soon as I can. My apologies to those of you who will receive this message more than once as the Irish Ancestor contains material relative to every county, some more than others and I will send it to those lists I am subbed to. If you want to look at this page please go to http://www.from-ireland.net and you will find the link in the bottom half of the Journals page. It will be accessible through each of the county pages but they will not be loaded until this evening. Jane

I need help on getting information from the Orange Order.... I have sent several e-mails to this address and have not received a reply... http://www.grandorange.org.uk/main.htm info@goli.demon.co.uk Thanks Dick Kiernan

Short answer is that ILL is easy....some can be ordered online if the local library has an up-to-date website. I know of a man who writes for the Clogher Record that orders all his resources via ILL including microfilm. The Allen County Public Library in Indiana ( www.acpl.lib.in.us/ )is a good resource, as is the Newberry Library ( www.acpl.lib.in.us/ )in Chicago.Boston College Burns Library has lots of Irish resources ( http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/irish/burns.html ) and courses in Irish Studies ( http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/irish/ ). The last ILL request I filled out had a space for what is the most you will pay - if there is a fee. I have not run into a fee based order as yet. Holdings at the LDS Libray, not on fiche or film, do not circulate to my knowledge. I cannot readily answer the query onjournals and periodicals. Believe that the above URL's might help here also. There is a Canadian genealogical website - does not come to mind readily ...Global? - that has regular contributions on genealogy from an Allen County Library staff member. HTH, Ann

Someone on this list forwarded my mail to this list to Mr. Mick Merrigan of the Genealogical Society of Ireland. (ex Dun Laoghaire Society). Below is my response to Mr. Merrigans mail to me - with some deletions. I would like to say that I am going to do what I have said I would do to Mr. Merrigan. That is after all one of my intentions with the From Ireland web site - to tell people around the world about the various organisations in Ireland which publish Ggenealogical data. I had not intended putting the constitutions of the societies on the web site, but I will now put the constitutions of those which date pre 1900. There is more than one society which has been publishing genealogical data for over 100 years. The Clogher Record has been published since the 1920's I think, if not earlier - what I say here and what I said last night, stands. What has been known as the Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries in Ireland was the Journal of the Waterford and South East of Ireland Archaeological and Historical Society and Journal of the Ossory Archaeological and Historical Society and the Journal of the Kilkenny and South East of Ireland Archaeological and Historical Society - the last three are a bit mixed up because I don't know the dates for one ending and one beginning - *but* the original journal published by the original society which divided up and became all those others was first published c. 1850 There are others as well - Cork, Galway to name two. Just because a Society has the word Genealogical does not exclude the others which have Archaeology and Historical as genealogical societies, Jane ----------------------------------- Dear Mr. Merrigan, I'm not going to get into an argument with you. My title is Dr. I live in Ireland. I did not say that all genealogical organisations are members of CIGO. I did state that the organisation which currently calls itself The Genealogical Society of Ireland used to be the Dunlaoghaire Genealogical Society and that Dunlaoighre is a suburb of Dublin - correct? I did say that there are other genealogical socieites in Ireland which have been around for over 150 years...... they may not call themselves 'Genealogical' societies - but their constitutions indicate that they are by using words which I am sure are in your own constitution such as 'family history.' I shall copy these out for you and put them on my web site to clarify any misunderstanding as to the position and naming of Irish Societies. I will give the exact dates as to when each was formed and the articles published in the first five issues, I will give the number of pages for each article. I am sure that within that five year period there will be at least 30 articles which will have been published in many of them (as in some instances they broke articles up and divided them between a few issues) which will be genealogical - with names only - in nature and which will compare to all the books published by the Genealogical Society of Ireland. I am sure that for each Journal, they will have covered as many counties as the Genealogical Society of Ireland. Once I have done that and we see whether or not I am wrong and you are right, then you will have a right to attack me for saying that the Genealogical Society of Ireland is a name which can mislead people. Yours, Dr. Jane Lyons

The following are listed in the Will index for the Diocese of Ardagh. Monaghan, Edmond; Aughacoradrinan, Longford 1762 Monaghan, Francis; Edenbawn, Leitrim 1811 Monaughan, John; Aughokiltubrit ,Leitrim 1797

There are so few genealogical societies in Ireland and yet the names can be confusing. This is a copy of a mail from Stephen Smyrl who was chairperson of the Council of Irish Genealogical Organisations last year. Currently, Michael Merrigan who is a member of the Genealogical Society of Ireland is posting to some lists re the action which should be taken on this issue. The Genealogical Society of Ireland was at one time called the Dun Laoghaire Genealogical Society - Dun Laoghaire is a suburb of Dublin. I'm explaining this so that those of you who see the name Genealogical Society of Ireland will not assume that they are the only Society in Ireland or the 'main' or 'head' society in Ireland. There are so many other societies which have ben around and caried out so much good genealogical work for a hundred or a hundred and fifty years even and they are all members of the CIGO. The Council of Genealogical Organisations takes in most of the Genealogical Societies in Ireland - if not all. First - if you go to the General Registrar's Office Home page at : http://www.groireland.ie/ then on the left hand side of the page you will see a link for that consultation document and it may be downloaded as a zipped word doc or an ordinary word doc (someone there is moving them into the 21st century!! <g>) or else the PDF file which I posted to you the other night. So - this is now what is being recommended by the Council of Genealogical Organisations as the action to be taken concerning the Civil Records issue. Stephen makes some points re why access to these records would be important to those of you who research. Marian Finnucan is one of our most listened to radio chat show hostesses There are from what I can remember 150+ subscribers to the Monaghan list (the full list) and another 80 or so subscribed to the Digest. That's not taking in to account those people who have subscribed over the last few weeks. Sometimes it's hard to get a list to respond - people are afraid to open their mouths - put their fingers to the keyboards for fear that anyone might say anything untoward to them - they hope that maybe they'll see some name appear on the list which they can connect to. I have to say that I've never seen anything which could even be considered 'not nice' being said to anyone on ethis list. Then, I can never say this enough - the majority of people in Ireland are not really interested in genealogy - a minority, yes. I live here, I transcribe graveyards - not in Monaghan - I 'work' the mail lists (for want of a better word) I'm list manager of two Rootsweb lists - this being one of them - I am *not* researching my ancestors - they don't even come from Monaghan. I'm just interested. I'm creating the From Ireland web site, really and truly just to give people some of what I have seen that they want from Ireland over the years - I also want to try and show people where there is information to be had - and sure, the web site is not perfect yet - but it will be in time :-))))) Whatever our Government does is not going to affect me - or most of us who live in Ireland, we have more relations than we know how to deal with (I have 60+ first cousins on one side, none on the other - but that's unusual)- but it is going to affect you. When I first encountered Stephen it was on the Ireland mail list and I thought he was a genealogist out to make a buck and challenged him.............and we had a little to do on that mail-list for ourselves, as well as off-line - he called me cheeky"!!!. I made enquiries about him and was told he was one of the best, one of the forward moving, hardest working in relation to Irish genealogy. I've since met him and I can say that what was told to me of him is true. Stephen is a gentleman and someone who always is in there in the front as regards moving Irish genealogy and research resources forward.........and I ask you to please read his mail and follow up. and if this can't be called a begging mail to the Monaghan list - nothing ever will!!!!!!!!!!! Jane :-) ----- Original Message ----- Dear friends of CIGO, As many of you will know the Department of Health & Children and the Department of Welfare, Community & Family Affairs are now engaged in a period of consultation regarding the future of Irish civil registration. In this regard, CIGO suggests that as part of the general campaign to get an all-round better service at the GRO as much publicity should be generated as possible. Firstly, CIGO suggests that you should put pen to paper and write a short letter about the GRO and civil registration and send it for publication to the Irish Times, the Irish Independent and the Irish Examiner. Secondly, please e-mail or telephone the Marian Finnucane radio show. The more e-mails and telephone calls the show receives the more likely it is that the subject will be given an airing. Send your e-mail to Marian Finnicane with the words 'Civil Registration' in the subject box. E-mail: marian@rte.ie In both instances, please drive home the fact that for the first time in over 150 years the Department of Health is seriously considering denying access to Irish civil registration records. The records of the GRO are 'public records' and have been open to direct public access since 1845 - and for very good reasons. The general Irish populace and those of Irish descent living overseas need access to records of birth death and marriage for such diverse reasons as health issues, tracing birth parents, inheritance, family history, tracing old friends, confirming possibly suspect information, and probate, to name but a few. The list is endless and unless we fight this move there is a real possibility that the Department may get its way ! PLEASE - do this today, don't put it off until it's too late ! Kind regards, Steven Smyrl

Jane wrote: > > *But* if those of you who have been to Ireland gave some thought to how you found research here - access in the General Registrar's Office for example, and compared it to access you have to your own records - I remember last year or the year before there was furore on the lists because the canadians were going to shut down or close access to the 1901 census or something like that? to Jane and list: This is an international problem. In Australia the Queensland Archive is being closed down, and any "important" archives sent to Canberra - a distance which makes a trip from England to Dublin look like popping round the corner to the local shop! The 1901 census for England Scotland and Wales, census will go online early next year. Sounds good, till you take into account that you will have to pay for access for 48 hours at a time, will get access to a name index only, and will have to pay a further fee for viewing actual entries (much like Scots Origins site) , so Heaven help those looking for the most common Irish names, like Mick Murphy or Paddy Clarke, as they will come up with thousands of possibilities with almost a million Irish born residents living in the UK before that time. There will not be the widely available (and free) access to microfilm etc., that there is for earlier census years - although even with these it may take a couple of hours travel each way to access local material, much longer to access the kind of material which is only in the Public Record Office in London - equivalent of National Archive and Library etc. in Dublin. Even in UK, it may take two days travel each way to access parish register records in County Record Offices throughout countries (assuming that they are available which is not always the case) and there are many parishes not covered by IGI for online research, or on LDS microfilm which is only useful if you are anywhere near an LDS centre. In some countries (and I think New Zealand is one) , census forms are destroyed as soon as the statistics are extracted, so there is no hope for local or family historians. So far as access in Dublin is concerned, running out of time and too many researchers is the main problem, as there is so much freely available material. In the Registrar's Office you need to have a great deal of small change, as you are only allowed to look at about 4 indexes at a time, paying as you go. There were queues from long before opening time. I ordered copies of entries and prepaid for these to be sent home. I received a copy of one of them, but not the other, wrote and asked for the second order to be forwarded, but have never had the courtesy of a reply, let alone the copy. At the Archive, the genealogy staff were most helpful, but the demand for reading machines is enormous, and again, I was there as soon as the building opened otherwise I would not have got a machine. After wading through many parish registers, I had still not found my Dublin family in pre 1860 records, or been able to link them with the Tipperary family. By the end of the day, I had not even touched the Monaghan and Mayo records, and could not visit again. Those who criticise the Irish Research centres may be interested to know that I received an excellent report from the South Mayo Centre on the basis of the information I had on my grandfather's 1859 baptismal certificate. This cost less than a return plane ticket, and goes into infinite detail regarding every family member, and associated lines, going back to 1805, with annotated sources which I can find myself if I wish, and I now have copies of some of these original sources. As a result of this report, I have now met cousins in Mayo and Galway, and have been contacted by others in Dublin, Mayo, London and USA, from whom I have gained the kind of anecdotal evidence that only comes from family members. As a result of the report I found my greatgrandparents' grave, visited the church where all the family funerals, marriages and baptisms took place, saw the original parish registers. I stood on their land, saw the view of the mountains that my grandfather saw every day for 20 years before he emigrated, and where my father's cousins continued to live. I was taken to see an elderly neighbour who had known these cousins in her childhood. It would have taken me many visits, and many years to find all this. As a consequence, I don't regard the service as expensive, although I have heard that some centres are better than others.

I am curious why there are 9 copies of Irish Civil Registrat?????

I would really appreciate it if anyone who is familiar with the procedure involved in obtaining copies of books or pages from journals through interlibrary loan in the States, Canada, Australia or anywhere else in the world would please tell me how it is done in other places. There are too many people asking me how they can obtain copies of the sources I am listing on the From Ireland web site http://www.from-ireland.net I've been attached to one University or another, and for me it is a simple case of going in and asking for a form, which I fill out with the details and then my university makes a request of other libraries with which they have an inter-library loan agreement and I get a copy of the paper at whatever cost per page if it is available - or I just walk in to the National Library and fill out a similar form and pay them £1 per page. Because it's something I've done so regulary and so simply I tend to think that it will be just as simple for others around the world. I tend not to think in terms of ordinary libraries. I'd like to put a note at the top of each of my surname pages telling people how to do this if it's different in other parts of the world. When I do a search on the LDS Family Library catalogue I get the below result for Irish Periodicals. Some I recognise, some I don't. I was looking for 'The Irish Ancestor' and 'The Irish Genealogist'. I know that some of what is listed below refers to on-line newsletter or societies which are on-line, but for the most part I've never heard of the rest!! I'm thinking that maybe the Irish Genealogical Research Society newsletter referred to here is what I know as 'The Irish Genealogist' which is a journal published by the Irish Genealogical Research Society in London. There is an Irish branch in Dublin, but then, I've never heard that the Irish branch actually publishes a newsletter. It is things like this which I have mentioned in the past, something being called one thing here in Ireland and another name by the Latter day Saints which can cause real confusion when two people are talking about something and know it by those different names. In order for me to be able to direct people to a source, I need to know the other name and as I don't use the LDS libraries, I can only make matters worse if I don't find out these differences. I also have read that not all of what the LDS libraries is on the on-line catalogue and what I would like to know is if they have copies of any of our Journals, such as Breifne, Clogher Record, Seanchas Ardmhaca, any of the Archaeological and Historical Journals - such as Louth, Galway, Cork, Kilkenny, Kerry, Waterford to name but a few. Plus the good old Irish Genealogist and the Irish Ancestor.
