Sad to say, Elizabeth never published her research - always helping any of us who were frantically trying to find at least one clue. She was also constantly adding information we all brought forward. Old age, failing health, failing eye sight, strokes, upsurge of newer information on the Internet to connect with the old material - all took its toll on her ability to do more than help those of us who were struggling with the older information. Despite the availability of the Internet, there probably are still valuable unconnected clues hiding in her papers. Only recently I have found several clues in some of the old material that have meaning now that didn't when I started. I was thinking only yesterday that I wish some kind soul, with lots of time and energy, would pull together the information she so lovingly collected all through the years and publish in her honor. Any takers? Every genealogy line should have such a dedicated "gatherer" of the information. Nita *********************** Claudia wrote: I doubt if Elizabeth Looney ever published her research. She was very interested in helping others and in tying all the lines together. This line was abuzz when she was dying because everyone knew her. Someone on this line will know the answer to that. Till later, Claudia ==== LOONEY Mailing List ==== Do the Manx LOONEY/LLEWNIEs connect to the Irish LOONEY/O'LOONEYs? Did the name originate in County Cork in 148 AD with the marriage of Con of a Hundred Battles (High King of Ireland in 158 AD) to the daughter of Olollar Ollium, King of Munster? Does it have TWO origins?
