Nope. The Hunts are my husband's and came from Birmingham, England. I have FINNs and PURCELLs from somewhere in Ireland. <G> Regards, Christina On Tue, 13 Jan 2004 06:56:09 -0500, Judy Tuccinardi wrote: :: Thanks Christina for checking for me!

I have Finns from Galway/Roscommon, but only by name found in an old bible...no details. That is why I refer to Ed Finn (Leitrim-Roscommon database) as cousin, a cousin perhaps 300 years removed, still a cousin and bloodline of O'Kelly. These adoptions make things so interesting, even though we may never find the exact guy and gal who connect us.

Good evening everyone! Does anyone have access to the Waterford and Lismore Wills: 1648-1858? I am looking for any mention of a James Barrington BRADLEY (first name could be Joseph) or any GADSDEN'S (GADSDON, etc.) or William BRADLEY. Very interested in finding anything about these families. Thanks for any help! Judy

Hi Everyone, WILLIAM HARRIS of ARDMORE was reputed to be a native of BUREE, Co. LIMERICK. He fought in the Boer War and then settled in Ardmore where he purchased the Hotel. All I know of him came from the Dungarvan Museum web site. My mother was the grand daughter of RICHARD HARRIS ogf Bruree. His is the only Harris family in Bruree according to the 1901 Census. It would seem that William was related in some way to Richard. I thought that I had trace all his children but I am now having doubts. Enough!! Please does anyone have any information on William Harris ? Thanks for your help. 'Tom' Tucker -- Michael G. Tucker mgt1937@fastmail.fm

Would love to see a photo of “Gadsden and Nash Provision Merchants" on Bridge Street- Provision, Butter, Bacon/Meat. That would make my day! Judy

The IGP Waterford website was sent a neat old photo of the British and Argentine Meat Co Ltd butchers shop in Waterford. If you are interested you can view it at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlwat2/photo3.htm I do need Waterford photos! Thanks, Christina Ninah@carolina.rr.com

Sounds workable. There must be thousands of old photos/tintypes out there. We can get a real big (and useful) photo-index going.

I am looking for the birth of John Kavangh, born about 1830, parents Daniel Kavanagh, Mary Hanrahan. At this point I am not sure where they lived. I have found a record of a Daniel Kavanagh in Bonmahon,co Waterford who died in 187l. Apparently his wife Mary was the Informat, but I do not know her maiden name? There is a record of her death Dec. 3l, 1884 at the age of 80. Can anyone help me find out her maiden name or any information that might be of help to me. John was my ggrandfather who came to Boston, Ma. 1848. Thanks Peggy

I decided to start off 2004 by once again joining some mailing lists in the hopes of finding some connections with my ancestors from Waterford. Anyone with connections to BRADLEY, NASH and GADSDEN, please write!! Also, anyone with knowledge of the meat packing industry in Waterford in the late 1700's to mid 1800's or there abouts, I am interested. Would love to find out more about a shipwreck off Waterford in 1835 too. Hope to hear from you, Judy in Maryland

Hello list, this is probably a REALLY silly question but here goes. : ) I have come across the christian name 'Anty' a few times in my Waterford research. At first I thought they meant Aunty, but then I saw it used for a 3 year old. Can any please tell me what this name is short for? Many thanks, Suzanne suzannef@optusnet.com.au

"Anty" is a nickname for "Anastasia". Anita

I have updated the Parish History Books webpages with over 50 more books, many with lookup volunteers. If you submitted a book please check your entry for accuracy. If you find mistakes, please email me off list. You will notice that I have redesigned the site and broken the original webpage into four webpages because of the size. They are still arranged in alphabetic order of counties. You can access the webpages at the url below my name. At my homepage, you will find a navigation bar at the top, under Ireland, click on Ireland Books and this will take you to a webpage for the Ireland Books Discussion Mailing List. At the bottom of that page, you will find links for the Parish History Books. (If your browser, does not use the navigation bars, there is a work around, just click on "click here") The Parish History Books are something I didn't know existed until my first trip to Ireland in 1999. I was pleasantly surprised to find them because not only did they include the history of the area, some listed the censuses, the Griffith's Valuation and/or the Tithes for the parish. When I started this site a couple of years ago, people started volunteering to do lookups in the books since many are out of print. Now, people are starting to submit books relating to the country in general and not to one particular parish or area. If you have a book that is not listed, some counties are pretty sparse in listings, use the convenient form at the bottom of the webpage. It is your choice, of course, on whether you care to volunteer to do lookups in the book. Also, if you have a book that is listed without a lookup volunteer and you would like to volunteer, please email me off list and I'll be sure to add you on my next revision. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com Professional Genealogy Research All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002

Museum Scanning Project ============================================== Thanks to all who have participated in the scanning project. As can be seen from the large quantity of articles that we are publishing at the moment the scanning project has been a great success. At the moment most of the articles being scanned are from the Ardmore journals, in the new year we will have material of more general Waterford interest. Could any volunteers who haven't returned the articles we sent them please get in touch. Don't worry if you haven't the time to do them or found them too difficult to do. We are conscious that you are all volunteers and are doing the museum a favour. We just need to plan the completion of this round of scanning. If you are interested in joining this program please contact William Whelan at 086 2748377 Email: william@deisedesign.com or leave your details into Dungarvan Museum, St. Augustine Street, Dungarvan. ============================================== 3.

The annual second hand book sale over the weekend of the Friday 7th, Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th of November raised over 700 Euros for Dungarvan Museum. ============================================== 4. Help The Museum ============================================== Dungarvan Museum is a voluntary organisation and we rely on unpaid volunteers to keep our museum going. Loads of different projects remain to be done, you could make it your New Years resolution to help preserve the history of your area / ancestral homeland. As can be seen from the rapid expansion of this web site volunteers can make a difference. Without the scanning project we would still be producing 1 article per month. At the moment as a result of the efforts of our scanning volunteers (living on three different continents) we are averaging 8 new articles per month. Information on how you can help Dungarvan Museum can be found on our home page www.dungarvanmuseum.org We are committed to preserving the history of all County Waterford (not just Dungarvan). ============================================== 5. Contacting The Museum ============================================== All general queries can be directed to the museum at history@dungarvanmuseum.org If you have a comment or complaint about the web site you can contact william@deisedesign.com We are delighted to get all feedback, positive or negative. We endeavor to act on all suggestions that we get but please bear in mind that we are a voluntary organisation and it can take some time to answer queries.

Carole at lewiscook@ozemail.com.au writes: << his military records which state he is from Clogheen and signed on at Cashmere >> Carole, I've been staring at your letter long enough to give me the courage to show my ignorance of certain things. I realize that you sent the letter to the Waterford list, but do the military records specifically state Clogheen, Co. Waterford? I know that sounds stupid, but you'd be surprised how many people make inquiries relating to a different part of the country. So I just wanted to be sure that this was the Clogheen in Waterford, and not - say - the much larger Clogheen 10 or 11 miles to the west in Tipperary. Or the Clogheens in Cork or Kildare. And then we have Cashmere. Or, perhaps, we don't. My first thought was "military, Kashmir". Then I thought there might be a location in Ireland or Britain named Cashmere. But I couldn't find a single place with that name in any of the islands. So, I'm left with writing this letter to you, hoping that there may be a tiny piece more of information for us ???
