I thought this might be of use to list members who are also searching the roots of their New England Irish; Terry allowed me to forward the message here. --Susan Daily ---------- Forwarded message ---------- I saw your post on James Reilly and his info on Griffith's Valuation. He also has a book (which I have) called Richard Griffith and His Valuations of Ireland. It is really quite interesting and valuable - there is more to GV than is apparent at first glance. You might look around for it in local genealogy libraries or societies. If you end up trying to buy it, it should be around $23 - $25. Terry McVeigh ---------- My original message to the IRL-Leitrim list ---------- I subscribe to the Mayo list, and someone sent the following link. I had never done too much research into Griffiths Valuation, feeling that the headings were fairly easy to understand. But the article "Is There More in Griffith's Valuation Than Just Names" by James R. Reilly, CGRS, found at http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/GRIFFITH/more_to_griffiths.html is really informative. I am sharing it with the Leitrim list, in case there are others who missed this article. Here are some things that were helpful to me: Shilling: In mid-nineteenth century Ireland twelve pence (d) equaled one shilling (s), twenty shillings equaled one pount (£). Lease: The term of a lease was frequently twenty-one years (a lease of years). More often its length was set by the numer of years remaining in the lives of three named individuals (a lease of lives) agreed upon by the landlord and tenant. Although not required, the three lives usually included the lessee, the lessee's youngest child and a third person. It was not unheard of for the third person to be the reigning monarch or a royal child. The lease remained in force and the rent agreement unchanged until the death of the last named person. Acreage: Griffith measured land in the Valuation by statute acre, rood and perch; an acre contained 4,840 square yards regardless of its shape; a rood was one-quarter of an acre of 1,210 square yards; a perch was one fortieth of a rood containing thirty square yards. Source: http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/GRIFFITH/Griffiths.PDF

Richard, thanks so much for sharing that list with us. I am familiar with most of the books and all of the websites and all are very worthwhile resources to have at home or be able to use at a nearby library. Thanks again for taking the time to post the info to the list. -- Pat Connors, visiting Port St Lucie FL http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

This is a bit off-topic. However, I made the errors so feel responsible for correcting them -- and adding to my warning First, of course, I misspelled "statistics" in the Subject line. D'oh! Second, second sentence here should read This site *charges* a hefty sum ($20, I presume US dollars) for each record. Third: the full name of the company that produces the Viewpoint Media Player is: "Viewpoint -- An Internet Marketing Company." Thus, the company's primary interest is *not* in providing a nifty file viewer. If that doesn't raise warning flags, I don't know what does. Not at all sure why the Nova Scotia government decided to use this scary company for its genealogy site. So my "Caution!" still applies. By the way, if you use AOL's Instant Message (IM) service, you probably already have this potentially dangerous software already installed.

Richard, I didn't download the viewer (and don't have it in my list of I.E. browswer add-ons), yet was able to view the records I was interested in, for free. Those with poorer eyesight may want to have a magnifying glass handy, but it will only be needed rarely. Just keep clicking on the image (or hold your mouse button down) until it has zoomed in as far as it will go. I have already found wonderful records here and would recommend it to the others on this list. Susan Daily On 3/23/07, Richard Danca <rdanca@gmail.com> wrote: > Caution! > > 1.

The Irish King family in NH in the late 1800's are from Co. Galway. One of their sons became governor of NH. While distantly connected, I have not found the link and have become more of an observer than an active researcher. The King's are related to the Corbett's also from Galway. --------------------------------- Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!

One of my brick walls is the ancestry of Frank Rogers born abt. 1820 in Ireland, possibly Cavan and his wife, Susan Kiernan born abt. 1824 in Ireland, possibly Meath. Their first two children were listed in the census as being born in Ireland, the rest being born in Connecticut, which puts their immigration between 1851 and 1853, except one census which says Margaret was born in Ireland also. They could then have immigrated between 1853 and 1855. I found them in the census living in Cornwall, Litchfield Connecticut. Their children were; Bridget b.1849, Catherine b. 1851, Margaret Agnes b. 15 May 1853, John b. 1855, Charles L. b. 1856, Franklin b. 1857, Hubert b.1859, Mathew b.1861, and Elizabeth b,1864. You'd think with all those children, someone besides me would be researching this family. Margaret Agnes was my great grandmother. She was married to Marcus Minor and lived in Waterbury Ct. Elizabeth married a McConnell and they had Matthew, Helena, Franklin and Teresa. Frank McConnell worked for Stanley Tools and was a terrible tease. Mathew Rogers married Nellie? Margaret and Marcus Minor had the following children: Frank,Mary, Ida, Earl and Elsie. Susan and Frank were alive in the 1880 census. If anyone knows this family, I would appreciate hearing from them. Thanks, Diane

Hi Constance, My gg grandfather, William BOWE came from Ireland to North Smithfield about 1852. Per the 1860 Cumberland RI census, my gg grandpa, William Bowe(35) was living with Catherine Bowe(45) who I think was his sister and his two sons William (8) and James (4). In the same multifamily house but living with the SULLIVAN family was Hannah Bowe (60), Julia Bowe(58) and Michael Bowe (22). These Bowes were all born in Ireland and are probably closely related with William above. I think that the John ANDERSON, Stephen OWENS, John SULLIVAN, and Bowe families of Woonsocket and living very close to one another are all interelated. I know they all came from Ireland about the same time. I have found that the Owens family came from or through Dublin about 1850. So I am interested in anyone who may have connections with any of these families. BTW, the Andersons and Owens were intermarried. Thanks for the help, Charlie King gg grandson of William Bowe of No. Smithfield and Pawtucket RI Constance wrote: I live in this town.

Google does it again with a special search engine that searches for blogs (from the words "web log") on any topic. Searching for "genealogy" brings up lots and lots of commercial and semi-commercial blogs, but you can use the advanced search feature to focus your search. For example, choosing to search **without** the word "Eastman" (an incredibly prolific hornblower), cut down on a lot of stuff I'll never look at. There were 800-plus hits for "+ireland +genealogy," so think about using advanced search!
