Hello, I am looking for info on this family of WILSON's in Belfast. William (b 1865) married Sara CROWE (b 1865) married about 1890 These children were listed in the 1901 census George b 1890 Thomas b 1893 Margaret b 1896 James b 1998 David b 1900 Ernest came along in 16 Aug 1901 George, David and Ernest came to the US and started families. I have quite a bit of info on those lines and I'm seeking info on those who stayed in Belfast. Any connections? Thanks for you time. Sincerely, Joanne

Hi David: I see you are in Australia, over the years I have been in contact with other Crooks there, but as far as I know there is no connection unless we go all the way back to Robert Croc, a Norman who came over from France in about 1138 a.d. I am back to John Crooks Sr. about 1709 and maybe to James Crooks 1669 at Ahoghill, Antrim, N.I. My John Sr. came to the USA in about 1738-41 and settled in Franklin Co., Pennsylvania in what then was the wilderness among the Indians. They were Presbyterian Convenanters and all were Ulsterscots.

I have been told there are approx. 22 Crooks families today in Antrim or at least those with telephones. Does anyone know of members of a Crooks family immigrating to the USA in the early 1700's. In 1669 there were 5 known Crooks families and I am trying to determine which are mine and believe it might be a James Crooks & family living at Ahoghill, Glagorm Estate which was a Alexander Colville property. As a matter of interest I am surprised that how few Crooks are left there. My first American born generation consisted of 19 children, their parents all Ireland born (3 of them). To make matters even worse, just 2 cousins of this batch had 22 children all of which were born between 1760-1810. Perhaps it was a good idea that they did migrate as the Isle would have sunk long ago under the weight of these progenies. Gordon Crooks, the 8th generation

Irish web site addresses at the link below or alternatively type Jean McCarthy into the Google search engine for a direct link. A very kind friend of genealogy who is also an Australian cousin of Irish descent, has very kindly sent me almost 200 web site addresses that will be helpful with anyone doing Irish genealogy research. I have put these links on my website on the Favourite Websites page. Thank you so very much indeed Linda for sharing this wonderful information with us all. I have not had time to check all of the links but I have checked a lot of them. Some of them you might already know of, but there are very many that I had not seen before. I hope that the links will be helpful to all of you with your research. Kind Regards. Jean McCarthy nee Moore. Staffordshire, England.

Hi List. Are you sitting comfortable? then I shall begin, I will try and keep this as short as possible. I have my Moore family on the 1871 census living in Troon, Ayrshire, they say they are born in Ireland, with the acceptation of one daughter that puts her birthplace as Ballymena. Co Antrim, being born circa 1851, (she is in a separate households, but they do tie in). I believe I have the parents Patrick Moore marrying Margaret J Brown in the Connor Dioceses. Co Antrim. 22nd December 1847 (IGI, again it seems to fit). Now, my problem is that my Great grandfather Alexander Moore, is reputed to have lost his parents when he was a youngster, then was sent to live with relatives in Troon when he was a youngster, I take it to be true, as I found this whole family in Troon, when I could not find him elsewhere. again it all ties in, On the 1871 he shows up as a son, on his marriage certificate he puts Patrick down as his Father. Any ideas how I can prove or disprove this question, also, does any recognise this family. 1871 Census Temple Hill. Dundonald. Ayrshire.

The web has been promoted as a tremendous boost to free Irish Family History information but the possible role of telephone data in a similar context gets little mention. Suppose one wanted to trace from the UK possible living relatives of an ancestor called McGeever from County Donegal. Entering the name and the County at the URL http://159.134.203.172/search.asp?source=Eircom provides 40 hits with addresses and telephone numbers. Parish Maps of County Donegal are available at the URL http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bhilchey/DonegalMain.html so it is possible to build up a population density map of McGeevers currently living in the various Parishes and townlands in the County (and provide an indication of which Parish and Townland your ancestor originated from). The same could be done in a search involving counties Antrim and Derry The aim would be to contact all 40 McGeevers and possible find one who is a Family History enthusiast or at least has a wide knowledge of the clan. Writing to Irish contacts has traditionally been rather a disappointment as the folk at home are very reluctant to put pen to paper. So why not give them a bell - the Irish love to talk? Very expensive you will reply - but is it? My UK "Talk Talk" telephone bill is so full of zero charges that I have difficulty finding a charged call outside "mobile phones" "special numbers" and "overseas calls". But that only covers Northern Ireland - calls to the Republic still cost. However if one registers with www.call1899.co.uk the call rate to The Republic of Ireland (and vice versa) is only 1p per minute - http://www.call1899.co.uk/rates.php. See also http://www.call13434.ie/rates.php for the rates from Ireland to the UK (0.5 ct/minute). A ten minute talk from the UK with each of the 40 Donegal McGeevers would cost only (where's my calculator) £4. I recently organised a Family Reunion in Ireland with a church service and a meal at an hotel for 270 friends and relatives at a relatively close to zero telephone cost. This procedure would be an ideal prologue to any folk planning a visit to Ireland, as opposed to the subsequent traditional - possibly more enjoyable but probably less effective - tour of the local pubs. It should be feasible to get the e-mail addresses of interested McGeevers and use the completely free services of Skype - see the URL http://www.skype.com/download/ which allows free internet telephone calls to most countries in the World. Google also plan to introduce internet telephone calling soon see the URL http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1454225,00.html Are there services such as www.1899.co.uk which currently allow very low cost foreign calls available in other countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA?

Hi Jack Thanks for your reply. I have only just obtained the Australian marriage cert where the only information to go on is John Brown, Surveyor, Co. Antrim and his wife Sarah. I have gone through online census's for 1851 thinking that Surveyor may be the lead in and so have no idea what parish of Antrim they were from and checked Family Search etc. Seems to be a lot of "John Brown's" and annoying for me that father and son were just that - no middle names or initals. I am trying to get more info from NZ and Australia in the hope of finding out more of where in Antrim, and as with everyone, hoping someone else is researching the same family!

My maternal grandfather, Alex Brown, descended from the Brown family of Kilcroagh Townland in the Parish of Armoy. Shortly before he died at age 98, he agreed to submit a DNA sample to the Brown DNA Study... http://www.brownsociety.org/browndna/dna-brown.htm ...in hopes that we might eventually be able to link our Brown family to others. Please review my document on our Brown family history... http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~streeter/brown.pdf or http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~streeter/BROWN.TXT ...to see if it might be worth having one of your Brown kinsmen join the DNA study.

Hi My great great grandfather John BROWN was born 1827 in Co Antrim. He immigrated to Australia and was married in 1854 Sandhurst, Victoria. His occupation is listed as "Mounted Police Sergeant". His marriage cert states parents as John BROWN, Surveyor and mother Sarah. Was wondering if anyone had access to the 1851 census or any other records. I have looked at census's online and none seem to match John and Sarah Brown. Looking for any members of this family.
