A few co-incidences have turned up which might amuse fellow-listers! 1. The City of Lincoln, England, is twinned with Neustadt-an-der-Rhinestrasse - in the heart of the Palatine emigration country. (OK, so what ?) 2. I grew up in Lincoln. My mother, Esther Florence Wagstaffe (nee Barkman) b.5.5.1901 and her sister Bessie Marion Cox (nee Barkman) b. 23 Nov 1895, both left the farm in Tuogh, Adare in the 1920s. Eventually they BOTH moved to Lincoln/Lincolnshire with their husbands. I still visit my family home in Lincoln often, (and Adare sometimes too). 3. I've not heard of MANY Palatine researchers in England at all (though there are some very good ones - on LeGear and Teskey especially!). 4. Terry Pyper, whom we've just met on this site, says also that his parent/grandparents farmed in Ireland. 5. And Terry, I see you now live in ................. LINCOLNSHIRE, UK ?????? I'll Email you privately, Terry, and hope we can get on the phone! Regards Di Mitchell Cheshire, England

Hello out there Can trev-hazel please send the message I think they were going to put ahead of my own copy? Can the sender of the Map of Killeheen message please send it again? I was cut off in mid-call and it was lost forever. (message from someone on btinternet, I think). Thank you. Sorry to be a nuisance. Terry Pyper __________ E-mail: <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A>

Hello all Having received many enquiries and, hopefully responded to all to the best of my ability, this seems a good time to reflect on the main purpose of the IP mailing list, in my modest eyes. It's good, of course, to be able to help others and seek help where people know what you're driving on about (what Palingtines?) but, when all's said and done, surname-specific searches tend to blind us to the real reason we need to club together, I think. When I first hit this group of happy subscribers, I was deeply impressed by the great mix of friendly chat and genuine academic (but not damagingly-serious) interest. In our particular, tiny, genealogical environment (bounded by the banks of the Rhine and the Deel), we are faced with the most horrendous dearth of GENUINE information. There just ain't a lot out there for us, it seems. Whole chancelleries of vital records destroyed by fire and official decree, rural myths, historical inaccuracy (because usually retrospective) and deliberate distortion for religious or political/cultural reasons ... where, really do we look? Recently, some authentic, eyewitness documents have been tapped out and displayed for our delectation on the IRL-PALATINE-l message board and it is so magnificent - it's lively, honest (often sad, deeply depressing) material, but it does strike me as being just the thing we all need to make sense of our still-obscure origins. Some subscribers have been fortunate enough to trace their whole family back to the arrival in Limerick - possibly others have even gone deeper into the Pfalz. But still so many of us feel vague and ever-so-slightly fed up because we can't establish the vital link. Wouldn't you mostly agree, fellow-sleuths? The kind of documents that have recently been transcribed by Barb Milburn, Susan Willig and others, plus the valuable contributions of Di Mitchell, Walter L McE (oh, and many more - forgive me if I forget them all at this point, my memory is as fallible as the next man's/woman's and I have only been in your midst for a few days...) - anyway, these represent the kind of believable proof we need of the miseries and delights experienced by our forebears in making a whole new world out of despair. Memorials, Tennison Grove's wonderful recitatives, Minutes and meetings of this body and that to resolve the burning issues of the day. They're even better than newspapers for their immediacy. Of course, bias might still exist in their reporting, but it is often easy to spot and correct in our own minds. I think one of the transcribers recently asked - is it worth bashing them out willy-nilly? Should we go on? Are some documents too parochial or too remote from our immediate interests? I believe ALL OF THIS IS VITAL and I, for one, would be only too happy to receive material for transcription - by snail mail or however. Please send, I will type. OK - I've rambled on a bit. Please excuse me but it does seem important and if I can GIVE for a change instead of always benefiting from other people's industry, so be it. On another tack, I might add that I contacted the amazingly generous Liz Haren, who immediately offered to despatch a copy of her "Palatine manuscript". I await it with great enthusiasm. Another tack. After a recent exchange with Clifford Dubery, I am pleased to report that he intends to enter all my Rathkeale Piper registers data in his Web family search facility. This should cut down the number of requests for copies directly from me. But do understand I will still always send the pages to anyone who asks. A final tack (I can't seem to shut up, can I?) - it would be lovely if people could add a hint of their location after their names (or contribution) it might help us penetrate the anonymity of email addresses. Just 'Pennsylvania' or 'Northern Queensland', or even just 'Canada' would be great. Collaboratively yours, Best regards to all. Terry Pyper (Lincolnshire, UK) Oh, before I forget - does anyone have a map that shows me exactly where Killeheen (Killa../Killea.., etc) is? I invested in a beautiful detailed map of Limerick not long ago -dated 1901, I think. It showed wells and bridges, pumps, drains, discarded Wellington boots and all - but not a trace of the fabulous seat of civilization (from a purely Piper point of view, anyway). Useful websites or cartographer's addresses would be most welcome (I have tried streetmap.co.uk and multimap.com - but not enough detail). Thank you. TP I promise not to speak again for a week. Bye bye. __________ E-mail: <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A>

Susan Thank you for msg. Nope. No regrets. It just occurred to me - if people sent their requests and just waited awhile, I could bunch them all together and make one massive despatch, couldn't I? Hard to imagine I make my living translating all this new technology from foreign tongues and don't even know how to handle a mailing list.... Dummy. I would point out that the lists are strongly PIPER-oriented. Of course, my forebears mingled with their Palatine neigbours very closely, as the lists will show. I imagine I have as much S******r blood in me as I do Teskey, Modlar, Lodowick, Rhinehardt, etc. Just request away, friends. I will deal with them all as time allows. The infinitely ubiquitous Terry (all of a sudden). You'll get fed up of me first, I'll bet. __________ E-mail: <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A>

Thank you for you msg, Susan. OK, fine, I understand totally - no attachments. It does make sense (sorry, our emails crossed). I didn't have any EMPEYs when you called but, as I always do, I turned to the magnificent IGI facility and scored 29 in Ireland. Very many in Strokestown, Roscommon, then there's Eyrecourt (Kildare), Galway, Dublin and one or two just 'Ireland'. But I think the ones you are after came from Laoighis (or Leix, as it is now). There are 2 from that quarter. 3 Ancestral files are offered altogether (i.e. kinship details) and the oldest was born in 1742 (Galway). Surname variants include EMPHEY, IMPY/IMPEY...and - well, that's it for the moment. Why not send details and I'll send you some? I have visitors this evening, that's in 3 hours' time, so please don't be disappointed if I can't reply straight away. I will be with you. God, I haven't done a stroke of work this p.m. I hope you guys realise we are separated in time by 6-8 hours. You must all still be yawning over your cornflakes. Bye bye Terry P(with a Y)per __________ E-mail: <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A>

Dear new friends Off to a thundering start. (wow). For Cliff Dubery - I will send you the R/K registers in a little while ... today, anyway. Thank you for your attachment which I haven't had time to open yet (the mailbox gets sorted first). For David and Joy Benner: I didn't have anything on BENNER when you wrote, but I immediately leapt to the LDS resource and scored 32 hits in Ireland, the oldest being Agnes from Killeheen (1731 - therefore Daddy must have been fresh off the boat from Rotterdam). There were also Courtmatrix (another brilliant Palatine link), Tralee in Kerry - several - one from Offaly, one from Belfast and a scattering from Elphin (?) Diocese. The rest hailed from lovely old RATHKEALE. If you need more info please ask - but do include some dates, forenames and possible relationships. Places help too. Incidentally, there were 5 Ancestral files too, which means family breakdown data - often invaluable. My own query is addressed to the (seemingly large) cluster of Canadian Palatines who use this marvellous IP mailing facility: I am trying to trace details of my Great Aunt Mary Ann Piper (born about 1864 in Killiheen) and who died in Winnipeg about 1959 (in her early 90s, I'm told by my elderly uncle). How do I start looking for data about that lady, whose derelict little nestbox in my tree needs some sustenance? Next - and last - point. I realise people are very wary of this and I understand fully, but is it possible to attach small ZIP files to the IRL messages? I'm thinking mainly of a bulk despatch of the RK registers for multiple enquirers. I am, of course, willing to send it to individual addresses...it's only about 9.7 kB zipped and contains 5 pages of register data, plus a sample chart of the Jacob Piper cluster (b.1742): an interesting man with a wild family. I think he might be mine, but it's hard to establish the vital link. At all events, I will abide by the Admin decision. Thanks again to Susan for her earlier encouragement. Thanks for listening. I think I'm a lucky man to have found you all. Bye bye for now Terry Pyper __________ Ancestry email please to: <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]"> [email protected]</A>

Hello Susan I'm sure I've done this wrong but please feel free to edit and re-direct it to the warm family of Rhinesiders who inhabit the IRL-PALATINE-L Archives townland. The generosity and industry of your correspondents is very, very touching (Barb Milburn, Kathy Labatt, Clifford Dubery, the amazing Liz Haren , for example ... and many others - indeed all). I hit your site yesterday, then sought out the index and today printed and read almost everything published since April 2000. I have been researching my links in some depth since early this year, but the knowledge I've gained from your people is astonishing. Right - basically my message is this: I will gladly share all the information I have collected concerning the Piper, Bovenizer, Ball and Ruttle families of the Killeheen/Ballingurane/Adare/Croom persuasion and would welcome any assistance in bridging some of the lacunae in my own pool of Irish Palatines. I have a few Irish birth/marriage/death certificates, some photographs and assorted images (rendered as JPEG profile pages in Word 2000 format - fat and costly to despatch, though), even Army service records (one dating back to 1887), assorted tree clusters (A4 page size) and my own transcriptions of the Rathkeale Holy Trinity Church registers from about 1742 - heavily Piper-oriented, I admit. But what I also have are some keen memories of my father's own experiences in Killiheen; he worked the land of his Grandfather and was at school in Rathkeale with pupils bearing many of the names we all now know by heart (Shier, Modlar, Sparling, Teskey, et al.). I don't promise the earth, but if I can help, I will do so gladly. It would be good to see names on the site that differ from Sw*tz*r sometimes. There is a paucity of Pipers, for a start. (But our lot were there at the gates of the Southwell estate as well). This is not a complaint, of course - I wouldn't dare. I'm just a mendicant like the rest - but I can dream. Please let me join your club. Could I perhaps start by sending you the Rathkeale registers, for example? (I think it's about 9 pages: A4, 12-point Times, in 3 columns, including original typos and maybe one or two of my own....). Perhaps it's old hat to many of your seasoned veterans, but it could be a revelation to some - possibly many. Ah, yes - the important bit. My Great grandfather was Richard Piper (b. abt. 1834) who married Catherine Ball of Adare (b. abt.1838). They had 9 children, of whom 2 daughters died young. My GF was Arthur Robert, the youngest (b. 1877) and so it goes on ... Is anyone still listening? One Very Important postscript - I use my main email address Cybernym...etc. for business only. The address for replies from this site is given below (except replies from Susan Willig, of course). Very best regards to you, your colleagues and the wider community of aspirant Palatines. Terry PYPER (N.B. spelling changed in about 1914 by Arthur Robert, probably to sidestep Germanic overtones as he hit the trenches in the Somme). __________ PLEASE POST ANCESTRY MAIL TO: <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]"> [email protected]</A>

Hi, Terry - Again, welcome. See, you've gotten the hang of this mailing list operation already! Congratulations. Nope, no leeway with the attachment prohibition. Sorry... That is verboten for all mailing lists whether they're hosted by Roots Web or GenExchange or other hosts. But I, for one, would be delighted to receive copies of the information. Feel free to send me the attached information at the above email address. If you have a way to copy/paste the information into the body of an email, that would be optimal. It would mean that the data would then be available to everyone immediately and that it would also be on file in the archives. If, however, you are unable to do that for some reason, then surely others will be eager to receive the information as an attachment. Thanks again, Terry.

Welcome to the IP list, Terry! You did just fine.. posted to the list and everyone has received your wonderful message. This is a terrific group of folks, as you have discovered in reading the messages in the IP archives. By now you have received your own post back so you see how the process works. Every subscriber is in receipt of your message, and no doubt some are turning handsprings at the prospect of your willingness to share what to many of us will be new IP information. Yes, by all means, please do share the data you have! The .jpg images you describe sound wonderful, and surely some will be happy to receive them from you. Please let us know what surnames are associated with those images so that the appropriate folks can respond to you. NOTE: attachments are not allowed via the list. There is too great a risk of viruses being transmitted, etc., so the Roots Web server strips any special formatting and/or stationery in addition to any and all attachments. So, please let us know what you are willing to share and then those can be sent to individuals privately. Also.. the Rathkeale registers sound wonderful! If you can do a copy/paste, Terry, then the text of those can be inserted into a series of email posts. (Again, no attachments, please.) Just paste a segment of information into an email and apply a relevant Subject line such as "Rathkeale Registers, Part I". Please note the complete source information in each post. <snip> <<It would be good to see names on the site that differ from Sw*tz*r sometimes. >> Yep, there are plenty of Switzers! <grin> Although I have a few of those, too, here's a different IP surname for you, Terry: EMPEY. If you ever run across that one, please holler! <bg> Again, Terry, a hearty welcome to the IP list. You'll find this a warm and supportive group of folks. All the best, Susan SL Willig [email protected] List Admin: Sullivan Co., NH, Addison Co., VT, IRL-Palatine, Empey-l, Garfield-l GenConnect boards: IRL-Palatine, Empey-l, Garfield-l, VTADDISO

Hello, Everyone! I was wondering, if, SKS might be able to help me. Is there an old map of Green St., in DINGLE, Kerry by any chance? Also, is there a street map? Again, is there one that holds the properties? This last one may be a big one with which to assist me but it would be very much appreciated, if SKS would, please, help me with the above. Thank you very much. Shannah

Di Mitchell <[email protected]> Many Thanx for the info from your railway keeny husband's "Johnson's Atlas and Gazetter of the Railways of Ireland" by Stephen Johnson, ISBN 1-85780-044-3. Especially, many thank you's for the data on the Tralee, to Dingle, Co. Kerry route. The idea that they would reopen in 1993 the Blennerville section of an 1891 line that originally closed in 1953, shows how important tourism is to this area. This has to be a MUST for those Irish from America returning to their homeland. This is apropos for me, as we are considering the purchase of Peotone's 85 year-old railroad depot as a railroad, archaeology & historical museum. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

For Walter and all. IF your family left Ireland AFTER the 1840s the new Irish railways may have affected their lives - they may have started on the emigration trail by rail or even worked on them. I have some railway info. My husband (a railway keeny) has just bought "Johnson's Atlas and Gazetter of the Railways of Ireland" by Stephen Johnson, ISBN 1-85780-044-3. It gives fine detail of when every line and station was opened, routes etc. If you have a reference to a railway or station in your family history notes, I offer to look up more specific details for you if you email me directly at [email protected] eg - a brief overview: Dublin Heuston (Kingsbridge) opened 1846 - line through to "Limerick Junction" (which is in Tipperary) 1848 - onwards to Cork 1849. Limerick City via Patrickswell, Adare to Ballingrane (Rathkeale) 1856. Ballingrane to Foynes via Askeaton 1857/58. Ballingrane (Rathkeale) to Tralee 1880. For Walter especially - Tralee to Dingle via Blennerville (Co. Kerry) opened 1891, closed 1953. Tralee to Blennerville section reopened as a tourist railway in 1993. Walter's recent description of the restoration of the mill at Blennerville is pleasing to hear of. Ireland has an enormous wealth of history, and it's always good to hear of preservation progress in areas which have a personal connection. At one time, I understand, my grandfather would have an annual wagon load of coal for the farm delivered by train to Adare, from where he would have to go and collect it and transport it home. Adare station is closed, it's now a private house. The old Rathkeale station is now the fascinating Irish Palatine Museum and resource centre. Di Mitchell [email protected]

IPs, The following from RW might be of interest to those w/ a deeper Palatine/German background. Walter GERMAN CHURCH RECORDS. In February 2001, three Lutheran church books were stolen (Burial Register Apolda 1848-1858; Baptismal Records Apolda 1809-1833; and Baptismal Records Apolda 1832- 1845).
