I have a large collection of HIXSON, HIXON, and HICKSON people in and from New England. Quite a few of these came from Ireland. If you have any HI*ONs in New England, I'd be happy to share info. I also have a DNA project for HIXSON, HIXON, and HICKSON anywhere. Anyone interested please email me privately. Carol Botteron (that's French Swiss) botteron@alum.mit.edu

Ah, what a shame about the cousin's missing name! Here is the link to the article you mentioned: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/RIGENWEB/2006-10/1160012143 Have you tried looking up newspaper obituaries for each of her children and her husband? They might include first cousins' names listed as sending flowers or acting as pallbarers. Also marriage stories in the newspapers might have similar info. Have you located the actual church records for the children of Mrs. Northrup? Baptisms and marriages? The Catholic Church records list godparents and witnesses, and these can provide wonderful clues, too, to possible family members. Some churches still hold the records. In eastern Massachusetts, some are held by the Archdiocese of Boston Archives. Regards, Susan Daily On 4/25/07, Arlene Haddock <mahaddock@yahoo.com> wrote: > We will need to forget the cousin.

We will need to forget the cousin. That is family rumor but I believe it is true. However, I do not have the foggiest idea what her name was. I do believe now that Margaret's last name for Connell and she was born in Cork, Ireland. I have records that would have been from Margaret's input. I have posted the account of Margaret's death and you would find it in the RIGENWEB-L Archives Oct 2006 with a title of Natick Mill Village. Thanks so much for your interest and help.

Carol, If all of his records just say Ireland, you will have to hope there are siblings and cousins and track them down. Unfortunately, with a Burke surname, he could be from anywhere in Ireland. The questions to ask: What church was he a member of? Did any of those church members come from Ireland and did they indicate where they were from? Is anything marked on his burial site as to where he was from in Ireland? Was there an obiturary? If so, who was listed? Do you have their church marriage banns and did they indicate witnesses? Could others in his family have immigrated before he did and did he stay with them? Are there any indications that others from his family came and lived with them after they immigrated? By the way, this could be fifty years later, so don't just look for the next decade or so. Best of luck in your search.

Good evening all, I am new to this list and am hoping that someone might be able to help me with the above person. Here is what I know about him: John Burke, b. ca 1790 somewhere in Ireland. He married Abby Perry in New Bedford, Ma on February 8, 1823. John was a gardner for John Avery Parker, one of the first millionaires in New Bedford. They were the parents of John Jr., Thomas, Elizabeth, Sarah, Abby, William, and Lucy. William, Lucy and a Baby girl all died young. My question is, How do I find out where in Ireland he came from. The death certificate just says he was born in Ireland. John and Abby Burke are my 4th great grandparents. I descend from their daughter Elizabeth Farrington Burke who married Amos Foster Lovejoy in 1852 in New Bedford. Thank you for any information anyone can tell me.

Hi all - in the last week, I posted a book title. The book was a history of the potato famine. It claimed that landlords paid passage because 1) it was vastly cheaper than feeding people through the winter - a couple days food cost was more than passage, 2) it cleared the land, and, 3) they didn't have the food anyway. But the receiving ports did not have funds to feed, clothe or house the immigrants either. The Irish died on the docks, on the streets and were homeless. Most did not have skills beyond hoeing potato hills, were not accustomed to regular work - there being none in Ireland, and were too weak by the time they arrived anyway.

I just put online a transcription of the patients and employees of the Marshall Infirmary as found in the 1875 New York State Census for Troy NY, 5th Ward. It can be found in the Troy section of my website (url under my name) under Censuses. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Gena, Just some questions for now. Who did Anthony marry and what were his children's names, in order (with birth year)? Do you have his marriage certificate?

I estimate this to be about 1840, give or take 2-3 years, somewhere in the US, but most likely Fall River. I have requested birth records for him in both Suffolk and Bristol Co MA. . Anthony (a mariner) married in Gloucester, Essex Co MA in 1879. After his death his wife and daughter suddenly begin stating his birth took place in Charleston SC. Per his pension file he "lived" in Charleston for a short time before returning to MA to enlist in the US Navy. I have done much research in the Charleston area and had help of professional genealogists who tell me there is no trace of Anthony or his parents in that area. He states both parents born in Ireland. > > It is his parents I am most interested in at this point in my research. So far I have absolutely no info on them other than what I have stated above.

In Gerard Moran's book, Sending Out Ireland's Poor / Assisted Emigration to North America in the Nineteenth Century (Four Courts Press, 2004), the number of Irish assisted to Canada and the U.S. by landlords, philanthropists, and poor law unions during the 19th century is reckoned to be between 250,000 and 300,000, which is higher than previous estimates: " ... it would appear that between 250,000 and 300,000 received full or partial assistance to North America during the nineteenth century." The book is well worth reading for anyone interested in learning more about Irish migrations. Landlord assistance was prompted not only because the owners were made to bear the costs of the poorest Irish on their estates during famine years but also because the land system was modernizing.

Yet another interesting site on landlord paid ship passage. http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~el6/presentations/Irish_Americans_S2_WS2003/irish_history_and_condition_that.htm --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? Check outnew cars at Yahoo! Autos.

Check out this site, not the one I was talking about. The one I read some time back talked of hundreds of people down at the wharf being loaded on several ships (in Scotland). http://www.sligoheritage.com/archpomano.htm --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?

I am searching for anyone with knowledge of Hugh Lally and Bridget O'Hearn Lally. They immigrated from unknown area of Ireland to New England. I do not know where or when they disembarked or what ship they arrived on. I have their names only, and Ireland is stated as their birthplace from their son Anthony H. (Hugh?) Lally's death record in 1889, Gloucester MA. as well as his civil war pension file. Anthony states in his US Navy civil war pension request that he was born in Fall River MA. I estimate this to be about 1840, give or take 2-3 years, somewhere in the US, but most likely Fall River. I have requested birth records for him in both Suffolk and Bristol Co MA. . Anthony (a mariner) married in Gloucester, Essex Co MA in 1879. After his death his wife and daughter suddenly begin stating his birth took place in Charleston SC. Per his pension file he "lived" in Charleston for a short time before returning to MA to enlist in the US Navy. I have done much research in the Charleston area and had help of professional genealogists who tell me there is no trace of Anthony or his parents in that area. He states both parents born in Ireland. It is his parents I am most interested in at this point in my research. So far I have absolutely no info on them other than what I have stated above. I know it is possible they returned to Ireland but I think that is not likely. They must show up in a census record somewhere but I am standing nose to brick wall. Any info will be most appreciated.

Sue, Bless you for the work at NEHGS. I was pleasantly surprised when I reported a bad link that I got a real response AND the change got made. Its people like yourself and the other volunteers that make NewEnglandAncestors on line so valuable.
