Hi, Everybody... There have been some major changes at Roots Web in the year since the buyout by MyFamily.com. Recently they have done away with what we knew as the GenConnect boards. They replaced them with "Message Boards", which are a different animal altogether. While I was trying to decipher all of that, it came to my attention that our IP boards had been lost among the cracks. Yep, gone... Now then, I've been assured that the data still exists.. it's just that they don't know exactly where it is at the moment. <bg> That's the update on that score... Will let you know if and when all our IP data turns up. And thanks to Barb Milburn for all her great additions to our resource list. (Welcome back, Barb!!!) Thanks, Ken, for adding your Teskey site. With this updated list, please not that web sites are in a second section at the bottom. We're collecting a great resource list! Anyone else?

This contains hundreds of spouses and descendants with other Palatine surnames, and shows how they are related through the Teskey line. 2. . The Irish Palatine Association's website www.erin.ie/ipa is a useful source. Whilst it's not yet as friendly as it should be, it does contain some useful information. It has a unique record of pupils who enrolled at Rathkeale No 2 School between 1873 and 1910, soon to be joined by a record of pupils at the No 3 School.
