Dear Friends, I'm sharing a few excerpts from "The Irish Roots Guide" by Tony McCarthy. When I visited County Kildare, the local parish priest gave me a copy. It is an invaluable, down to earth guide to finding your Irish ancestors. [I have no personal interest or gain by sharing this book.] Page 5 l) Look at your ancestors in terms of their "social position." "...a person's class had a great bearing on weather or not he figured in particular types of records." 2) If your ancestors were Roman Catholics, look in Church of Ireland records anyway. It is possible that your ancestors changed religions to survive/eat as an act of desperation. "Few will consult a Church of Ireland register in search of a Catholic baptismal entry (although in some Donegal and the midlands registers, many such entries are to be found). Searching the Registry of Deeds for a small tenant farmer's lease is almost as fruitless an occupation as searching nineteenth-century newspapers for a cottier's death notice." I'm offering this information to researchers, not to debate, but to open your search boundaries. Sometimes you just have to think outside of the box. Barb

Historical tour planned at St. Augustine Cemetery The Ossining Historical Society Museum is planning a walking tour of St. Augustine Cemetery, 75 Hawkes Avenue on Saturday, April 26 [2014] at 2p.m. Believed to be one of the oldest Catholic cemeteries in Westchester County, it is the final resting place of local veterans, aqueduct and railroad workers as well as Sing Sing prisoners. Multiple speakers that day will be in attendance. There is no need to RSVP and the tour is free, however a $10. donation would be greatly appreciated. In case of extreme weather, the tour will be held the next day (Sunday, the 27th) at 2pm. For more information contact Patricia Sacchi at [email protected] or the Ossining Historical Society Museum at [914] 941-0001. NOTE: The northwestern section of Westchester County is known for immigrant Irish laborers in the brickmaking business, as well as construction of the Croton Dam, just north of Ossining. Barb

I have just added 5 more pages (24 pics each) to the Troy Section of my website. However, I have not yet added the names to the index that is online but thought I would let you know so you could look at the pictures, all with names and dates. Since there is no index or links, to look at the pictures go to this webpage: http://connorsgenealogy.com/Troy/SectionSix/SectionSix-18.htm Instead of the 18, put in theses numbers to see the pages; 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 or 26 Thanks go to Kris White who took these pictures in 2011. Sorry these have taken so long but life got into my way. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

I'd like to add that John Grenham's weekly blog in The Irish Times, free online, is one I never miss.  It is also well worth going back thru his archive and reading every word he has written.  His blog, which was formerly a column, is found in The Irish Times under 'Culture', then 'Heritage'.  Virginia ________________________________ From: Pat Connors <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" <[email protected]>; [email protected]om; [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2014 1:08 PM Subject: [NY-IRISH] Irish records online John Grenham of The Irish Times and genealogy books, has put a good list of all the Irish records that can be found online here: http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/online.htm -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com/ ====NY-Irish Mailing List==== Don't forget to check out the NY-Irish mailing list website.  Also, check/add your NY-Irish surnames on the Surname Registry:  http://www.connorsgenealogy.com/NYIrishList/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

This weekend, it seems that AOL accounts were broken into and accounts were compromised and tons of spam mail went out in AOL members names. So, if you have your email with AOL, please go into your AOL account and CHANGE your PASSWORD using BOTH letters and numbers. Thank you in advance. Most of the spam emails were held and I just spent time going into the list's utilities and checking the emails. Of course, I stopped them from going to the lists but since there were so many and all with AOL accounts, I thought I would make a suggestion and hopefully end some of the spam. Thanks for your cooperation, please pass the word on to any other lists you are subbed to and remember, if you see a weird email that gets posted to a list with only and link, DON'T click on it. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, list admin http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Hello All, A Mary SCOTT was enumerated in the 1915 NY State census: address 27 Clifton Place, Brooklyn; age 28; in US 3 years; occupation Servant. She lived in the household of Mrs. Annie MEEKER, age 80, and her daughter Nellie MEEKER, age 48; both reported "no occupation." I'm looking for information about this Clifton-Place Mary SCOTT. I want to see if she was perhaps the Mary SCOTT that I'm researching. Here's what I know about my Mary SCOTT: * My Mary SCOTT was born Mary Jane ("May") CAREY, daughter of Mary (KELLY) PLUNKETT-CAREY, and John CAREY, in 1890-91, in Kingstown, Co. Dublin, Ireland. * Mary Jane married William SCOTT, from Dublin, in 1910-11; he was killed in a 1911 train accident within a year of the marriage. * Their daughter Mary Claire ("Mamie") SCOTT was born in Kingstown six weeks before her father William died. * Mary Jane emigrated to the US in Sep. 1914 with her half-sister Julia PLUNKETT but without her daughter; they landed in Boston and went on to Lowell, MA, to join Julia's brother Thomas PLUNKETT and his family. * In late 1914-early 1915, Mary Jane and Julia moved to Brooklyn to find better work. * Mary Jane married Herbert BYRNE about 1917, probably in Brooklyn. * Mary Jane went back to Ireland in 1920, "after the war," to get her daughter Mary Claire, and both soon returned to Brooklyn, where Mary Jane and Herbert/Bertie BYRNE lived on Middagh St. * The BYRNE family was enumerated in Brooklyn at 241 Prospect Pl. (the "Democratic Club") in 1930, 34 Butler Pl. in 1935, and 34 Butler Pl. in 1940. * I believe Mary Jane CAREY-SCOTT-BYRNE died in 1963, in Brooklyn. I'll appreciate any information or thoughts about the Brooklyn Clifton-Place Mary. Thanks, PJ
