Hi Rachel - I was "off the air" so to speak,for about a week - my computer had to go into the repair shop to have a new cd drive fitted.I don't appear to have any problems with my e-mails etc.Can sympathise with you re the sore knees- I had an operation on my back 2 years ago. Trapped sciatic nerve meant two really painful legs - couldn't walk,couldn't sit or sleep at night.Was great up till about 6 months ago,now my right leg is playing me up again.I just keep taking a pain killer when I can't stand it any longer,and hope I can keep going for a while longer,without "intervention" as my doctor refers to it !Thanks for the warning. Take care.Talk to you soon.

Betsy I got an email supposedl from you with the Bugbear virus. My NAV picked it up. It could be that someone else had a stored email of your and used the address -corrupted. It still might be worth checking your own machine to see if you are infected. Life goes on with work my main preoccupation and the thing that uses all my time. I had a quick trip home in May but didn't get much research done. I injured my right knee. I was only functioning at all because the other one had been injected with cortisone. Both have severe degeneration due to arthritis. I think I can cope as long as I can get about but....well we'll see what the future brings. Hope you keep well. Rachel

I was in contact with Brian Mitchell several years ago and am in need of his services again. I am almost certain that his e-mail address was going back and forth several months ago but I did not copy it. It is so much faster than snail mail. If anyone on the list can pass it on to me I would appreciate it so much. Thank you, Ruth in Oregon

I have a Sarah Margaret Pollock, who married James McSheffrey 1885 in Macosquin, No. Ireland. Any information/links to Sarah Margaret??? Thank you Lois W.

Hi List, I am hoping sks can help me out. I am trying to find an index for the 1881 census if anyone has one and would be willing to do a look up please contact me. Regards Robyn New Zealand

I am looking for information about my great grandmother Annie Crilly. She had two children Nell, and James (my grandfather). James was born on, or about Sept 21 1906, in the District of Coleraine. He came to NZ when he was about 19, about 1925 or so, married and had a family. There was also a large step family, surname McErlain. My mother corresponded with Patrick, who was in the Royal Irish Fusiliers, served in Malta, and was I beleive a P.O.W. at some stage. He married a Patricia, had three children, Ann, Claire and Patrick. They were born about 1947 - 51, and were living in Downpatrick at that time. I wrote to Claire for a while but then lost touch. I'd love to hear from anyone who may be able to help me contact my living relatives, and also solve the mystery of my gramdfather's parentage. Thanks Rose --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month!

Hello, I had some problems signing on to the list, but I think I have it straightened out. I sent this e-mail request a few days ago and I'm not sure if it was received by the list. My grandmother, Mary Bailey, was born in December 1884. She lived in the Townland of Rathfad which is approximately 3 miles to the north of the town of Limavady. She lived with her sister, Hessey Bailey, and her mother, Ann Bailey. All three immigrated to Philadelphia in 1907. Ann Bailey, my great grandmother, was born in 1851 and grew up in the Townland of Ballybrissell. Both these Townlands are in the parish of Aghanloo. I think the Townlands of Ballybrissell and Rathfad were close to each other. Would anyone know the name of the Roman Catholic church they would have attended back in 1851-1884? Would anyone know the name of the school they would have attended? My great-great grandparents, John Bailey and Sarah McIntire were married February 10, 1841. They both lived in the Townland of Ballybrissell. Would anyone know the name of the Catholic Church in 1841 where folks from this Townland would have attended? Thank you very much for your help!
