I have recently focused on the 17th & 18th century English settlers in Ireland, in particular JACKSONs. Their families moved about and settled in virtually every county in Ireland. Often they used Ireland as a stepping stone to America, Canada, Australia or anywhere else they saw greener pastures. I have parked them all in about half a dozen trees, and posted them to my web site. They helped me see to see new links between Carlow and Tyrone, for example, that I would not have otherwise known about. Likely readers will notice others. I have just posted the third of three pieces that I did on my blog about this work. For those of you who want to cut to the chase and just get the links to all the new records I have posted as a result, just click on the third one. If my process interests you as well, check out the first two as well: The first is about my experiences of learning from family crests: http://sharonoddiebrown.blogspot.com/2011/07/crests-and-coats-of-arms-1st-in-small.html The second focuses on the Red Hand of Ulster and the red hand in baronial crests (hint: not the same) http://sharonoddiebrown.blogspot.com/2011/07/arms-and-red-hand-of-ulster-2nd-in.html The third focuses on the new trees that I have cobbled together http://sharonoddiebrown.blogspot.com/2011/07/sheldrake-and-other-elements-3rd-in.html As always, there will be more to learn. I will update the pages as I go. Let me know if you spot errors. It is how I learn. Enjoy, Sharon PS I have also updated my database at rootsweb - it is called silverbowl . There are now more than 9,700 records, most of which are reasonably documented. -- Sharon Oddie Brown, Roberts Creek, BC, Canada. History Project: www.thesilverbowl.com
