I have just finished the annotating and posting to my web site of several news articles concerning the COULTER family - in particular the murder of Samuel COULTER of Shortstone, Co. Louth. Dozens of other people are also referenced in these footnotes. Where the footnotes are empty - this means that I know nothing (and seek the help of others). I usually enter the name (if that is all I have) since it is faster for me to add new data when it comes (adding new footnotes is cumbersome after the fact). The news articles can be accessed using the hyperlinks beside each article, or by going to the www.thesilverbowl.com and clicking on "documents" and then "newsclippings". If you go to the "what's New" hyperlink on the homepage: http://www.thesilverbowl.com/misc/whatsnew.htm then you will also be able to see in the preceding weeks the various (and quite extensive) tables that I have also been posting. This represented some of the spadework required to be able to annotate the newsclippings. As always, I am sometimes using this web site as a method of sharing my "thinking out loud". It helps me to clarify where my domains of ignorance begin and end. It also seems to help others discover bits that are meaningful to their various quests. Although the names mentioned are mostly from Co. Louth, they also had connections to Co. Armagh, Co. Monaghan and Co. Down. Again, if you recognize any of the names and can expand on what I currently know, I would be more than grateful to receive your input.
