    1. Use of "L.Derry" and "Derry," circa 1768 - 1808
    2. William A. Davis
    3. Greetings. I subscribed to this list in order to ask this question on behalf of a friend. She has an 1808 volume DICTIONARY OF THE HOLY BIBLE, in which some birth data is written into the back. It appears to have an entry, "John Scott was born County LnDerry upon 8 May 1768," -- except the n (if that's what it is) hovers high near the top of the L rather than on the line. My friend feels that the word following Derry may not be "upon," because that word is not used in the other entries and because the p looks more like the writer's "y's" than a p. She wonders if it might be some other word. I gather that the usage of Derry and Londonderry has some sort of implications today, but I'm not sure what that is. What was the usage of "Derry" and "L'Derry" back at that time? Would that be a typical abreviation? Rev. John Scott was born there in 1768 and moved to America, going through Philadelphia and settling at Ghent, Kentucky, were he was a prominent Baptist minister and landowner. I don't know at what age he arrived in America, or how familiar he would have been with typical usage of the abreviation. If anyone want to give the entry a look, I have an image file I could send them. It doesn't capture the whole page but it shows the words in question. My friend is a descendant of John Scott, and would like to know more about his orgins. The only other clue about his background is that he named one of his sons "William Alfred Scott," which she thought might be a name in the family. He named other sons for Kentucky Baptist ministers.

    1. Craig... County Fermanagh to western PA
    2. In the hopes of breaking into the Irish and Scottish origins of this family, I am posting our CRAIG first generations here. Crossing my fingers that someone might recognize something! William Craig, oldest known ancestor, was a SCOTTISH soldier, who was reportedly from CRAIGHEAD, SCOTLAND. To date, I have not found record of it's existence though. William Craig (possibly spelled CREAGUE) had two known sons, WILLIAM and JOSEPH. William Craig, a Presbyterian Ulster Scot, (born 1750 and died25 December 1836) who married Mary GAMBLE (born 1 June 1757 and died 2 June 1856); the couple lived near LOUTHERSTOWN, Barony of LURG, County of FERMANAGH, NORTH IRELAND. William and Mary had six children, all born in or near this town. (This is near Irvinestown) (1) JOHN CRAIG, born 18 May 1790 and died 12 April 1830 in Allegheny County, PA. He married ELIZABETH LIGGETT and they had five children: Joseph, Hugh, John, and two daughters who died very young. John and Elizabeth emigrated in 1822 and settled first in WASHINGTON COUNTY, PA and soon thereafter, near Pittsburgh, ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PA. (2) ANN CRAIG, born 10 August 1792 and died 23 May 1843. She married WILLIAM JOHNSTON and they had a large farmily, all or most born in Ireland. She emigrated to Indiana County, PA in 1824. Identity of children not yet known. (3) MARGARET CRAIG, born 10 February 1795 and died 27 October 1884 in Armstrong Township, Indiana County, PA. She emigrated to the US in 1824 with her parents, and married JAMES CAMPBELL, son of Alexander Campbell and Margaret Johnston in March 1826. They had seven children: Ann Jane, Margaret, John Otis, Alexander Samuel, Mary, James, and Mary. (4) PATRICK CRAIG, born 24 August 1796 and died after 1845. He married ? Robinson in Ireland and they had at least three children: William, Mary Ann, and Margaret. He emigrated to western PA via Boston, MA in May of 1845, most likely settling in Allegheny County, PA (5) HUGH CRAIG, born 12 August 1799 and died 26 May 1876 in Armstrong Township, Indiana County, PA. He emigrated to the US between 1818 and 1819, first living in Pittsburgh before coming to Armstrong Township, Indiana County, PA. He married BARBARA RAMSEY, daughter of John Ramsey and Jane McFarland in 1836 and they had five children: William, Jane, Mary, Ann Margaret, Hannah, John, and Sarah. (6) William Craig, born 10 April 1803 and he died in New Castle, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, date unclear. Allied lines to this family are: ANTHONY, LIGGETT, ROBINSON, CAMPBELL, GAMBLE, DOUTHIT, RAMSEY, WALKER, JOHNSTON, SHIRLEY, FLEMING, MILLER, STAUNTON/STANTON, SHIELDS, SPEEDY, SHARP, MCNUTT, NEAL, WARNER, BURCHFIELD, HARBISON, FEZER, COCHRAN, FOUTS, FRAILEY, WIGGINS, LOWRY, SMITH, LYTLE, RANKIN, DEVLIN, BECKWITH, BASH (lots more) Many thanks for taking the time to read this long post. Our website hasn't been updated yet to correct the original errors, so anything here supercedes what is on the website, but it will changed soon. Thanks for your patience!

    1. RE: Micro Readers
    2. Michael P. Kearney
    3. Joanne, I have found several places to order rolls of microfilm from that contains information valuable to my research. The first has to do with parish records from several very old churches in Maryland. The Maryland State Archives has made all of their microfilm collection available to the public for $10 per roll. Among those available are ones that are part of what is called their "Religious Project". They have begun microfilming church records from many churches in Maryland and to date there are quite a few available, and fortunately for me, are those from the very parishes where my family settled back in the mid 1800's. You may want to check with whatever archives you may have available for your geographic area. I know that most states in the U.S. have a state archives where records are available to the public, but I'm not sure about outside of the U.S.. Another place where you can order microfilm rolls from is a website that has all of the census records for the United States available for $9.95 per roll. I realize that this is not much help to those outside of the U.S., but for those researching in the U.S., it could prove very valuable. That site is: http://www.censusmicrofilm.com/ I'm still looking for places to order microfilm for other areas of data, but nothing else thus far. Hope this helps. Mike Kearney

    1. RE: Micro Readers
    2. Michael P. Kearney
    3. I sent this information to several other mailing lists that I subscribe to and the response was overwhelming, so I thought I'd share the information with a few other lists. Just thought I'd pass some information on that might prove helpful to those interested in the purchase of a microfiche/microfilm reader. I was in the market for a reader myself so I could save some trips back and forth to the LDS center or library to view the same films over and over. I always felt like I was rushed and it always seemed that there were a line of people waiting to use the readers. I began looking around for one to buy for my home and found them to be very expensive for the amount of use it may get. Then someone suggested I look into the State surplus equipment. I live in the State of Maryland and they have a surplus warehouse open to the public for purchase of used state office equipment. Well I stopped by there recently and found that they had about 10 different machines for sale ranging from very large ones with attached printers to smaller desktop types. They ranged in price from $25 to $40. I purchased one of the smaller ones for $25 and it is absolutely perfect for home use. It was in very good condition and will suffice nicely for genealogy home use. I have already begun ordering microfilm rolls for about $10 each and hope to put together a collection of those I use most in a very short time. I'm not sure if all states have such a surplus warehouse, but it certainly is worth checking if you're looking for a good price on a used reader. Hope this proves to be of help to someone as it sure was a find for me. Good luck. I must caution you first, the machines that they have available are mostly MICROFICHE readers, but with a little ingenuity, they can be rigged to run microfilm rolls through as well. Most of them appeared to be in fairly good condition and you can plug and test them right on site. It might be a good idea to take a fiche/film along just to try out. Note, all sales are final, so what you get is what you live with! The State Surplus Warehouse in Maryland is located on Brockbridge Rd. in the Jessup area. From I-95, take Rt. 175 east to Brockbridge Rd. and turn right. Follow Brockbridge Rd. past the House of Corrections and the Women's Prison and you will eventually come to the Warehouse on the left side of the road. You can also access it from Rt. 32 by taking the Dorsey Run Rd. exit and following it around to Brockbridge, but it's a little more confusing. Hope this helps and good luck to you. Let me know if I can help you any further. Mike Kearney

    1. LDS BATCH NUMBER TIPS
    2. Mike Kennedy
    3. This may be old news for many; however, there may be others out there that still cannot get the LDS batches to open or go anywhere, here are some items I found today. 1. When you place the batch number in it field , the M or C must be capitalized. 2. Check the supposedly blank fields above for blank spaces. If any of those blank fields have a blank space in it, the program assumes it is a name and looks fot such a name. A name of one blank space cannot be found and so yuou get a message of no matches.

    1. Re:Dobbins, McHugh - Co. Tyrone or...?
    2. linda Merle
    3. Hi, > Does anyone know if the >addition of the "s" on Dobbin particularly means anything? Well no one knows for sure. I've read several books on the evolution of these surnames of ours. The 's localizes to northern England , an area that actually stretches into the lowlands on the eastern side. It's not likely Gaelic was ever spoken in these areas -- Brithonic was and has left its mark on various placenames. In fact the kingdom of King Lot is beleive to be Lothian. After the displacement of the Brithonic speaking folk, you had Angles and Saxons, and then the Danes. From this area you have most 's' surnames originating. Experts have debated whether they are the same as the -son surnames: Williamson, Johnson, etc, etc. Colin D Rogers "The Surname Detective: Investigating surname Distribution in England, 1086-present day" (Manchester University Press, 1995) found that in early lists of names the only people who had them were widows. Widows were the only women whose names show up on these tax lists. They had the s. It appears to perhaps be a genitive form "Roger's wife== Rogers . Dobbins in in Reaney and Wilson "English Surnames" but only Dobbin is in Black "Surnames of Scotland". Which seems to suggest that the s form is predominant further south -- English, not Scots, but I wouldn't draw this conclusion without some research. And on the other hand, the 's in an individual case could have originated in the slip of the hand of a clerk. You don't know. Sorry I can't be of more help. Even the experts don't know and have only conjecture. Linda Merle

    1. Dobbins, McHugh - Co. Tyrone or...?
    2. D. Noblesmith
    3. Hi! Thought I'd throw out some of the info I've been gathering and see if anyone can help or advise me. My 3x great-grandfather was THOMAS DOBBINS, who came to Carleton Co., New Brunswick in the 1820s-early 1830s (the 1851 census says he came in 1826 but I think that's a little early) from Ireland, raising a family from which I am descended. I found out that he apparently left behind a wife, LYDIA CLARE (I've seen other variations on this maiden name) DOBBINS and a daughter, MARY DOBBINS (which explained why I could never find a marriage record for Thomas and MARY ANNE DALEY, with whom he had his NB family!). Mary (born late 1820s -early 1830s)married JAMES MCHUGH(a blacksmith,son of JOHN MCHUGH and CATHERINE MCHUGH) and by 1881 had moved to Glasgow with their children. Their oldest child, another Lydia, was born in 1859 in Clare Upper, Ardstraw Par., Co. Tyrone (where they were living at the time of Griffith's Valuation); another child, Dominick, was born in Castlederg, possibly 1864 or so. As of 1882 LYDIA DOBBINS was living in Lettercarn, Ardstraw Par., Co. Tyrone. So it seems that the family, at least Lydia and the McHughs, were from this area, but I don't think Thomas Dobbins was. I've rooted through the Griffith's Val. to get a feel for the distribution of Dobbins and variants and there are only three in Tyrone-and as nowadays, a lot in Co. Antrim and elsewhere. Does anyone know if the addition of the "s" on Dobbin particularly means anything? There are definitely fewer of Dobbins, both in Griffith's and the N. Ireland phonebook, and they seem to be in somewhat different areas than Dobbin and Dobbyn. Was it a Catholic/Protestant thing ? This family was Roman Catholic-even Thomas raised his NB family as Catholic. I haven't looked at the parish records yet, so I know that's a source I still need to tap (whenever I get over there!) but hope that maybe someone might recognize the names and could offer advice on finding where Thomas hailed from. St. John, New Brunswick lost most of any passenger lists in a fire and I've searched what there is (that I know of). Thanks! Debbie, Saco, Maine [email protected]
