Hello, I am searching for information regarding the family of William James ROSS and his wife Kathryn (sp?) YOUNG of the Limavady area. William James and Kathryn Ross were probably born in 1820's and died after 1903. They had at least 7 children, probably 11: John (the only bad report was he got drunk and stole a pig!), Robert (disappeared in a storm), Thomas (died in infancy), Margaret (emigrated to Wisconsin, USA), Anna, Odessa (emigrated to Wisconsin, married a man named Morrow), and Samuel Christy (emigrated to Wisconsin, married his 1st cousin, Sarah Young, dau. of Alexander Young). William had at least one brother, Robert ROSS, who was minister at the 1st Presbyterian Church in Londonderry for over 30 years. My Irish ancestors have formed the proverbial brick wall for me. My grandmother taught me to recite family names back to William James Ross, but we know of none beyond. Any dints you might help me make will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, --Rachelle Miller of Oregon [email protected] ROSS / YOUNG / MCMILLAN

Hello List, Would anyone have information of names of families who had membership in the Church of Ireland, Dungannon, County of Tyrone, Killyman Parish, for the years 1700-1750? Would there be such records? And where? Looking for my Rice family ancestors. Thanks, Bob Rice from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA

searching for information on a Cornelius O'Neill and a Rev. William C. O'Neill, who both ownedproperty in Grange Shilvodan during the 1840's thru 1860's. Thank you Marianne in Las Vegas

I have found the family I sought on the 1901 census, at the beginning of it where they summarize the information; BUT, the page with the family members was not copied. The document appeared in good condition when it was filmed by the LDS so I believe this was just a mistake. Where and how do I go about finding the information on that page? It was James LENNON. County;Antrim: Townland; Aghadalgon: Barony;Uppre MAssereene: Parish;Glenavy Also, my grandfather lived at Townland-Ballysesy, Parish-Camlin on a farm called Hillshead, I believe. How do I find the exact location if I want to visit? I know that his sister sold it to the station master and his friend WIlliam Sherlock . Thanks for your help, Dolly Searching LENNON, WILKINSON, HUME, MOORE, ST.CLARE, WOODSIDE and YARR

Hi Sarah, Scottish registration started in 1855. Scottish death certificates are very good: you can find the names of the parents of the deceased. It's good value to die in Scotland. Unfortunately, our ggggrand-father William Robb born surely somewhere in Ireland died before. Our other ggggrand-father William Cook born surely somewhere in Ireland died after. I know his parents names. It does take me a wee bit further. Salutations Laurence. -----Original Message----- From: Sarah Martin <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: 12 March 1999 20:36 Subject: Re: McGuigan/Kenny >Geraldine, >The Scots have very good records.

I am a new member of this list. I have a number of letters written to my g- grandfather, William John ROSBOROUGH toward the end of his life (1938-1941). These letters are from his brother and a few others, filling him in on people he knew before he emigrated to the US around 1890. My Rosboroughs came from the town of Lisbunny, Claudy, Co. Derry but there is mention of other locations - many nearby, others further away. I have listed each of the 60+ names mentioned in these letters as well as any associated locations mentioned in the letters. If anyone is interested in any of these names, I'd be happy to share the context of the name in the letters. There is little more I can offer than what is in the letters themselves. I have not figured out the relationships of nearly all these people to my line yet.

Mary, I saw your post to Bill re: David Hughes. Makes me think perhaps I, too, should contact Bill! (Bill if you are reading this, "Hello!") I don't know if my Hughes connect to your friend's Hughes kin, but I know mine were in North Carolina. Not sure when they arrived; have info back to 1810 at least. They married in with the Scots and I am not certain of their country of origin. Might I also be able to contact your friend? Hope this is not too forward of me nor too much trouble! Thanks in advance. Cheers! Amy Hughes

Hello Bill, A friend has done extensive US research on her family history and she is stuck at David HUGHES b. ca. 1750 "in Ireland". He was Presbyterian, came to US by 1776, fought in the American Revolution, settled in Tennessee at the time that it was part of North Carolina. If you would like to contact her I would be pleased to facilitate that. Mary Wisconsin

Dorothy - I just subscribed to the list and yours was the first posting I received. I am interested in purchasing the book, but don't know what the "Stationery Office" is. Do you have an address? Thanks. Judy Corrin

Hello Roger, "A Pox on that turkey who stole your computer"!!!!! I can't imagine being so deceitful and sneaky as that. Makes one wonder just how far humanity can degrade itself. I can only imagine that this person will one day meet his or her maker and have to account for such as this. Sylvia >

Timm, so sorry about your computer. Libraries used to be a safe place. It's hard to believe so much has changed. Keep happy thoughts about your future purchase and great rewards to come. Regards, Joanna

Hi Sarah & Dorothy, thank you for reminding me of the book Tracing your Irish Ancestors by John Grenham. Is it the one you are talking about? Sorry, I had to reinstall my hard disk and I did not save my past mail. Can I help you find anything in it? It has good maps of dioceses. I must have bought it in Dublin or Cork. It was on my top shelf. Yes it is good.

The link works just fine if you remove everything after "com" It is a very interesting site. Jean

Hi, I'm sorry but I cannot help you with your question. I am writing because I am beginning research on the name Tracy. If you can guide me as where to look I would greatly appreciate your kindness. Thanks, [email protected]

Hello all. I am new to list and hope you can help me. I was forwarded some information about a possible ancestor of mine and where in Scotland they were from. I have no idea where this place is. The text was as follows: "Issabell, Lady McMilling (McMillan), having been raised in the old castle on the Scotch and Irish coast (I think the same old castle that was made famous by the story Hall Cain wrote, (The Woman That Thou Gavest Me). " Does anyone recognize this castle? Thanks in advance Tracy

Roger: Your computer stolen? What a shame! I imagine that many of us have found Libraries to be pretty safe places. But, it is just a reminder to not trust anyone....anywhere! I usually leave my coat on the back of my chair and my briefcase under the table. I have my purse slung across my body from the opposite shoulder and it never leaves me (that comes from leaving my purse in the stacks once). I NEVER leave my car keys in the pocket of my coat.....just in case. I've found genealogists to be pretty reliable folks. What do you bet someone was walking through and made use of the opportunity. Just a suggestion.......you may be able to find your mailings by accessing the NI Archives. I don't happen to have the URL handy, but Rootsweb helpline would have it. Good luck, Roger!

Just to let everyone know that I will be temporarily unsuscribing due to the loss of my computer (from under my nose while at the library looking up fiches of directories for someone else). I would very much appreciate it if all those kind souls who sent me mail over the past several months could please send me copies if they kept one. For example, the appearance of "Timms" etc in directories, and my "Kennedys", etc in Griffiths. I lost all my messages and unfortunately had no back up for them. Ditto for web address and email addresses. As it is very ackward to access my old address (I have to use telnet to Pine and go through my wife's server) it would be better if any messages were sent to "[email protected]". Thanks to one and all. Roger Timms
