Thanks to Jack Storey we now have headstones from Braddox Presbyterian Church in the Archives. The Headstone page for Monaghan is at: http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/monaghan/photos/tombstones/markers.htm I also want to note that Kathy Rhodes from the Limerick RW list, transcribed the stones. So, a joint project. I hope you enjoy the new pictures. The IGP Archives now has four people who live in Ireland taking photos. We can reach out and get people to transcribe, but having people in Ireland is worth a lot. If anyone on this list knows someone in Ireland who would trudge through a few cemeteries, assure them that we will share the photos online with Irish descendants. Thanks!

Allen Richard Mitchell was born in 1825 to William Mitchell a farmer. His mothers first name was likely Mary. According to his death certificate he was born in Monaghan. Allen was not the first child and moved around quite a bit. His marraige certificate (most likely his second marrage) was June 1 1860 in Tuam, Galway to Jane D'Arcy. >From Tuam he moved to Derrigimlagh near Daly Hill, several miles south of Ballyconneely, Galway. The family lived in a Protestant Mission settlement from 1875 to some time near 1900. The date is misleading in church records becasue he moved to Canada sometime around 1882 and may have travelled back and forth or sent for family members over this period of time. He and two sons where sponserered by the McCormick family in York Region north of Toronto where they worked as farmers and labourers. The oldest son Tom went to Australia. I have lots of details about Allen and his decendents but my brick wall is his mother, siblings and father. I recently found a LDS family tree that showed details of Tom and his family tree. They seem unaware of the Canadian branch of the family. Tom married Isabella Goodsell in NSW. They had seven children and the current family may still live near Mareeba Queensland. The last person I have information on there is Donald Elmer George Mitchell who died in 1991. ( Ihave already left my contact information in his cemetary file). If these names mean anything to you or you can suggest ways to find connections to Donald's family please let me know. I have lots of info to provide and am hoping maybe somebody there can help me with my brick wall. Peter Mitchell
