PATRICK FRAYNE, of Joristown, Killucquin Parish, Furbill, Barony, Mullingar PLU, in records of the middle 1600's, appears to have sons Michael & Nicholas of Killucquin; Redmond of Rathwyre (connected to John Furlong), and Ignatius of Killucquin and Dublin. Trying to prove that Patrick's son Michael is the Michael of Wexford who married Jane Saunders of Dublin about 1795. Would be delighted to hear from anyone researching this name, or who knows about Joristown. Many thanks, Marjorie. Ontario, Canada.

Hello List Members, Once again a big thank you to the nice lady who posted The Storytellers!! I hope you as well as others are not put off by the nay sayer who posted to chastise you concerning who wrote the piece. I am sure you did not intend to do any harm or not give credit. Many people read things or things are forwarded to them without name or author. To: [email protected]: You did not sign your name to the post chastising this lady. I very much protest on a list like this one the excessively long what appears to be a signature piece at the bottom of your post. And yes, I call attention to this so that you may receive "credit" where "credit" is due. Sorry had to address this individual by the email address on his post as whomever--did not bother to give a name. Thanks for a very good mail List - Always read with interest. Judith M.

This was posted to another list. Thought I was the only one who cried at graves of people I never knew :) ============================ The Storytellers..... We are the chosen. My feelings are that in each family there is one who feels called upon to find their ancestors; to put flesh on their bones and make them live again; to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. For me, doing genealogy is not just a cold gathering of facts but a way breathing life into all who have gone before us. We are the storytellers of the tribes. All tribes have one. We have been called upon, as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before us cry out to us to tell their story. So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors, "You have a wonderful family, you would be proud of us?" How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who I am and the reasons for what I do. It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference, and saying, "I can't let this happen. The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh". It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish and how they contributed to what I am today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses; their never giving in or giving up; their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to pride with a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for all of us so that we might be born who we are; that we might remember them. So we do. With love and caring as we inscribe each found fact of their existence because we are them and they are us. So, as a scribe to his calling, I tell the story of my family. It is up to the one called in the next generation to step up and take their place in the long line of family storytellers. These are the reasons why I am the Storyteller. It is my way of putting flesh on the bones of those not forgotten. ( Unknown Author )

Ellen: have you been to the website www.local.ie and then go to Westmeath and then to the genealogy section. Usually you can find the churches there. Try it.

This post came across another list I am on...I thought it may be of interest, even though it is a bit off topic. ===================== Subject: The Disease Hemachromotosis Hi, July is Hemachromotosis month. It is an excess of iron in the blood and is very common in people from the British Isles. It does not show up in a normal blood test. If you would like more information please go to: www.aohdiv7.org/genetic_killer.htm My son had eleven blood tests prior to surgery and it did not show up. However, when he mentioned hemachromotosis to the doctor and was tested for it it did show up. He had his first treatment two weeks ago. Hope this helps someone. ______________________________

Dear Listers / Subscribers, My Grandfather George Joseph CORR (b 1861) married my grandmother Teresa DALY on the 27th September 1897 in Aughamore, near Swineford Co. Mayo. Teresa was the daughter of John DALY and Bridget (Loughna, I believe), and was born in Keadue, Peyton (near the town of BOYLE) in Co. Roscommon. She died 22nd June, 1906 and is buried in Knock Cemetery, Co Mayo. It is very difficult to actually make out her age on her gravestone, as it was damaged and has been repaired - but it looks like she was in her (late) twenties (26 or 28) when she died, which would mean she was born around 1877-80. I cannot find any record of a Teresa DALY born in Boyle anytime in the 1870s, but I have found a Teresa DALY born to a John DALY and Anne LAUGHAN on 17th Dec 1871 at MOATE, Co Westmeath, and was wondering if this could be my grandmother ? I have searched the LDS Film indices of Births for the 1870s, and also the Death indices for 1906 (& also 1907), and could find no trace of my grandmother's death being certified on either index. I would be most grateful, and relieved, if someone could shed some further light on this quest. many thanks Niall Corr * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This message is confidential.

Dear Listers, The Shamrock Tombstone Transcription Project is a new project that is being sponsored by The IrelandGenWeb Project (http://www.irelandgenweb.com). Below is information describing this project -- please feel free to visit the website (url below) and donate your tombstone information. This is a free project and your donation will help to make it a successful research tool for other irish researchers. Also, please feel free to pass this information on to any other email list you belong to -- if you feel that it is a worthwhile project. Thank you for your time! Best Wishes, Carol Hepburn IrelandGenWeb Coordinator http://www.irelandgenweb.com **************************************************************** The IrelandGenWeb Project is pleased to announce that the SHAMROCK Tombstone Transcription Project is now an official part of the IrelandGenWeb Project as a Special Project. Please see below for a description of the project. SHAMROCK Tombstone Transcription Project http://community.webtv.net/shamrockroots/tombstones IrelandGenWeb Project http://www.irelandgenweb.com <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Often the tombstones of persons born in Ireland will list their birthplace in Ireland on the stone. This can often provide the needed clue to continue a family history study in Ireland. SHAMROCK listmembers began contributing tombstone transcriptions which they have found in their own research, either of their own family members or just of tombstones they have come across while doing their research. Originally, these were transcribed to a webpage, but we quickly realized this project had the possibility of growing very large, and so in May of 2001 arrangements were made to transfer this project to a board where persons could enter their own data, and which would be searchable. This also will help guarantee that the data will always be available to researchers. You do not have to be a SHAMROCK listmember to contribute to this project! What is this transcription project for? ------------------------------------------------ This project is for tombstones -not- located in Ireland which indicate a place of origin in Ireland. These may be in your family, or may be just tombstones you have come across while searching a cemetery for your own ancestors. Have you come across a tombstone which shows a place of origin in Ireland, whether it is your family or not? If you have, please consider listing it in this project..... it just may provide a needed clue to someone else. What is not acceptable in this project? --------------------------------------------------- It is -not- acceptable to take information already published in a copyrighted book or article and place this on the transcription board. Please obey copyright laws! Any transcription found to violate copyright will be removed from the board. Only tombstones not located in Ireland should be included. **This project is not for transcribing tombstones from cemeteries within Ireland itself, or for asking for lookups or information on cemeteries or for general queries. Please do not submit tombstone data which do not meet this criteria. Inappropriate postings will be removed from the board without notice.

Have you written to the church - perhaps they can give you more information......RC records for the Civil Parish of Mayne in which Coole is located go back to 1777. Ch. of Ireland records only go back to 1808.....(which is unusual because normally the Ch.of Ireland records go back earlier than the RC records.) I would check the Indexes to Griffiths Valuation for Coole.....then go into Griffiths itself. If you write to church, just address your letter to Parish Priest.....with a small donation, you probably will get a reply. Have fun... Elizabeth [email protected] >From: "James W. M.
