I have added the following tithe applotments to my website: County Tipperary: Kilnarath Civil Parish County Limerick: Kilfrush, Kilfinny, Ardpatrick and Kilquane Civil Parishes County Galway: Kilquain Civil Parish Please read the transcriptions notes to see what problems I may have encountered while transcribing these tithes. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Thanks Pat, Will look further into this. William and John O'Brien my by mine. That's a question to be solved.

Hello- I have been told that my great-great grandfather worked on constructing the Erie Canal, which was completed in 1825. Has anyone had any luck finding information on Irish immigrants involved in engineering/ construction of the Canal? I've contacted the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse to see if there are records of the names of workers but got nowhere. My great grandfather was called Cornelius Ahearne/ Ahern and was from Cork. Thanks in advance for any help or advice on this. Paula Spencer

Hello, Are there any Erie Canal passenger lists or something similar for the 1845-1855 time period or thereabouts? Sandy

My family lived on the Limerick/Cork county lines. I see the names Rea and O'Brien listed here. They are also listed in the info I have for Kilflyn and coolrae County Limerick. Could this mean that the lease holds crossed county lines?

Judy, Here are your interested names in the Co Limerick Kilquane Civil Parish tithe applotments (not online yet but will be soon): O'Brien William Jamesestown O'Brien John Jamesestown Rea William Ballincurruna Rea John Ballincurruna The townland names are spelled as in the tithes, now they are spelled Jamestown, Ballincarroona. I have not done much research in this area but this civil parish may have been one continuous parish and then the county boundaries were changed. I would imagine the leases crossed line when the county lines changed but I am only guessing. My family lived on the Limerick/Cork county lines. I see the names Rea and > O'Brien listed here.

Hi Melanie, Congratulations on finding an Irish origin! The marriage cert. should tell you more than the county and district, though -- it should tell you the specific townlands (for both groom and bride), which opens all sorts of other records (land, estate, church, etc.). With a Griffith's Valuation map and GV and other data, you may be able to find the exact farm / plot of land they lived on. For those who don't know, the Ireland Marriage, 1619-1898 database on beta.familyearch.org is (mostly) the BVRI CD-ROMs now online. (The database says "some" of the records in the db were previously pub'd as the BVRI, but doesn't say what additional info is in the db. Still, they provide the BVRI coverage chart for reference, so I'm guessing that most, if not all, of the data in the db is from the CD-ROMs). It can be helpful in breaking down walls, though, as Melanie has shown. Congratulations, again, Melanie! Claire K.

Since I only transcribe tithe applotments for the Ireland counties showcased on my website, I didn't want this one to go to waste. I found a County Cork townland in the middle of the Kilquane Civil Parish, County Limerick tithes. I thought I would just post it to these lists for those interested in County Cork. Ballylopin is located in the Kilquane Civil Parish, County Cork, East Riding. (Evidentually, this civil parish is divided by county lines). Here are the names I found: Michl Wall Edward Moragh Danl Keeffe Patrick Rea Michl Gleeson David Herlehy John O'Brien Corn's Miller The tithes were enumerated in 1834. If anyone is on any of the County Cork lists, feel free to pass this data on. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento, CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Dundalk or El Paso as it is referred to in the north! I've been through there many times. It was also the hell path from Belfast to Dublin airport before they put the by-pass in. It's a small city and can be seedy in some areas, but generally a nice place to visit! Was the scene of many side-bar peace talks before the ceasefire in 1993. Congratulations! I love that rush of finding "where".

Not necessarily true. Facebook doesn't copy your address book unless you link to it to find friends. It is not automatic. But, there are advertisers on Fb that do engage in mining and they will work ways to plant a virus like program, called a Trojan horse, that will let someone else take over your computer and send e-mails. One of these that is running right now is the Secret Crush link. It gives you a message that there is someone with a secret crush and says "Find out how," and all it takes is for you to click on it. Most games or applications (which is what this is posing as) require you to allow access to your private data. If you refuse you can't use the application or play the game. Most of the games that have a name of Something "Ville" are also data mining operations in disguise. Facebook is doing what it can to get the vendors to change that or be shut down. I found out about it because I inadvertently tried one of the games and the horses showed up on the next scan (fortunately, the next morning) so I got rid of them and ruled that there will be no applications or games for me. One clue that I didn't know about is some of the games Trojan Horses don't want to work with Vista or Windows 7 so the Windows program automatically switches to "Compatibility Mode" to run it. The regular game and FB work in either of those programs as well as XP. So, there is no need to go compatible. If anyone gets a Trojan horse virus contact me and I'll tell you how to get rid of it. It is rather easy, once you discover the steps to follow. It is good to check your Facebook account, security and privacy settings regularly to make sure nothing is changed from what you want.

To that end, below are three of the most common cyberscams that lead to the loss of personal information or sensitive data. Hopefully, if you know what to expect, you'll simply walk away from the encounters unscathed. Scam #1: Your computer is infected! The biggest criminal enterprise is the rogue antivirus product. It tries to convince you that your computer is infected so you hand over money for "antivirus protection" - which is not actually protection at all. The minute you see a fake alert, stop everything you're doing, kill the browser, and perform a full scan with the legitimate antivirus product of your choice. Scam #2: Check out this cool link! Your friend's email or Facebook account is hijacked, and you receive a brief message with a short URL to watch a video or check out something equally "cool." The link actually leads to a malicious page with a malware download. Most shortlink services have a feature that lets you preview where the shortlink will go; use it. If you've never heard of the Web site, check the true destination domain against a reputation service. And don't be the first one among your friends to click a link. Scam #3: John Doe wants to be your friend. In this one, the scammers usually duplicate the message format of popular social network sites. Instead of linking to "friend request," it takes you to a malicious page instead. To avoid this one, without clicking anything, move the mouse over the link in your email message, then look at the Status Bar to see exactly where the link leads. If the message claims to come from one company, but the URL points to a domain you've never heard of, don't click the link. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, list admin http://www.connorsgenealogy.com ====NY-Irish Mailing List==== Don't forget to check out the NY-Irish mailing list website.
