Does anyone know why Hackettstown is in 2 counties, Carlow & Wicklow. Brian O. -- BrianO broulig@fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Same, same, but different… ----- Original message ----- From: "slstrick" <slstrick@verizon.net> To: IRL-WICKLOW-L@rootsweb.com Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2006 08:34:31 -0500 Subject: [Wicklow] Gutenberg Project Books that mention Wicklow Hi All, An email on another list mentioned the www.gutenberg.org project which puts online books that are outside of copyright restrictions. So I thought I would see what is there and was delighted to find many old books for reading. I put Wicklow in the field for Full-Text and it came back with a list of 131 books found. Here are directions: 1. Go to www.gutenberg.org and click on the "Online Book Catalog" link. 2. After that page loads click on the Advanced search link. 3. After the search page loads, there is a form to provide the search request details. You can enter as much or as little as you wish. I entered Wicklow in the Full Text box and it returned a list of 131 books. When I put Wicklow in the subject field it returned nothing found. When you select a book from the list, the next screen provides the various formats available, some are text, some are html including the illustrations. Enjoy!

Why not That mystery line they call the County line winds and wends its way through wherever it likes after all some people possibly can have breakfast in Carlow and Lunch In Wicklow they didnt move the houses to place the line in did they ? In fact there is many places where you can put one foot in Carlow and one In Wicklow so perhaps this mystery county line is the problem Brian Cara ----- Original Message ----- From: "BrianO" <broulig@fastmail.fm> To: <IRL-WICKLOW-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2006 10:07 AM Subject: [Wicklow] Hackettstown > Does anyone know why Hackettstown is in 2 counties, Carlow & Wicklow. > Brian O. > > > -- > BrianO > broulig@fastmail.fm > > -- > http://www.fastmail.fm - Same, same, but different… > > ----- Original message ----- > From: "slstrick" <slstrick@verizon.net> > To: IRL-WICKLOW-L@rootsweb.com > Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2006 08:34:31 -0500 > Subject: [Wicklow] Gutenberg Project Books that mention Wicklow > > Hi All, > An email on another list mentioned the www.gutenberg.org project which > puts online books that are outside of copyright restrictions. > So I thought I would see what is there and was delighted to find many > old books for reading.
