Heather, Your post to the list, regarding lost place names, is very much appreciated and can be quite helpful to most of us doing research from many miles away... thank you! On the same subject, does anyone on the list have an explanation of what happened to the settlement of New Ireland, Harvey Parish, Albert County? What made it an attractive place to establish a community? Why was it eventually abandoned? In what time frame did that occur? My great,great grandparents settled there in 1824, all, except their oldest child, were born there, including my great grandfather. I believe there was another settlement called New Ireland Road what was the history of that settlement? Thank you in advance, for anyone wishing to address this one. Richard Ontario
