I have just started a new list on rootsweb to help those new with Irish genealogical research. If you need help with your Irish research, I am hoping this is a list to get that help. I am looking for both newbies to Irish research and for those with some experience in it to give answers to questions when posted to the list. I am looking for help from those of you who have general knowledge of both Northern Ireland and the Ireland Republic research resources. Plus, I am hoping for help from knowledgeable researchers who have experience with one or more dedicated counties. If you join the list and have a county or a couple of county specialties please write me off the list and let me know your county(s). I am actually soliciting posters that I see on the lists who give specific county advice and would like to get the 32 counties covered over and above those with general Irish knowledge. The list will be announced by Rootsweb next week but you can join it now. Send an email to: Ireland-Genealogy-Newbies-L-Request@rootsweb.com or Ireland-Genealogy-Newbies-D-Request@rootsweb.com L-for individual posts to the list; D-for digest form Put: Subscribe --in the subject and body and send off. If you have any questions about the list, feel free to write me. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Death Notice Tavern on the Green, age 75 Born: 1934 Place of Birth: Central Park West and West 67th St.; Manhattan's Upper West Side. (A Robert Moses renovation of a sheep barn designed by Calvert Vaux in 1870. Died: 31 December 2009 Cause of Death: neglect; cancer of the pocket metastasized from the head of NYC Parks Department; vultures ingested the remains The recent demise of a New York City landmark, Tavern on the Green, may elicit mourning and sweet remembrances by those of us who languished in its splendor. As for visitors who "meant to get there," you missed being treated like royalty! There just aren't enough superlatives to kvell over a Tavern on the Green experience, in spite of its oxymoronic name. Describing it in the present tense engraves fond occasions in my heart. It is carved into a wooded niche off Central Park's border, with easy access from the West Side Drive. Whatever language a cabbie speaks, he knows that G-spot. They park your car, open your doors, glide out your chairs, serve drinks as if with urgency, hover as you dine without eavesdropping, and respond to guests as if they heard your last thought. The waiters, besides charming, and often bearing foreign accents, speak English and present your meal as if they personally prepared it just for you, on this, your last day on earth. Classically professional wait staff. Tiffany stained glass and chandeliers welcome you through the meandering hallway. The Terrace Room flirts with home designers' concept of bringing the outside in. A perfect sunny garden-like venue for toasting Cosmos, expressio martinis, or one of their fabulous concoctions to the ladies who lunch, your dear college friends. In spite of a crowd, even on a busy Saturday afternoon other conversations are but a background hum as you play catch up with your BFFs. Ah, the irresistible Crystal Room, with subway close chandelier lights rebounding rainbows off its wall of ceiling stretching windows. Its ceiling is like pastel party frosting, overdosed with Victorian dancing swirls. Celebration du jour. During the day, animal topiaries lure you to the patio. Who can resist posing in front of the King Kong topiary, as today's Faye Raye, for the camera? During the Christmas season spectacle, bare limbed trees are garnished with strands of white lights so bright, that you can see your companion's face at night. Romance fills the air. To complete the evening, you hail a hansom carriage ride through Central Park, sharing a woolly, thick blanket made for smooching. Tavern on the Green's cusotmers range from famous American and international artists, musicians, and performers. Cinema aficionados find glimpses of this more-than-just-an-eatery place in well known films A trip to Tavern on the Green is incomplete without a souvenir from the gift shop. Such mementos are pricey jewels, and others as simple as a labeled tea mug. If you'd like to see the other one-of-a-kind dining rooms, please view the photos on the homepage. My preference was for the Crystal Room.

Hi Nancy. I did a little 'googling' into this church. I can't say it's the one you're looking for, but this is something you might want to explore. The NY Gen. Soc. has a brief history of the Methodist Church. It seems in 1939 the Methodist Episcopal church merged with two other churches to form the Methodist Church, now known as the United Methodist Church. http://www.newyorkfamilyhistory.org/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=112Scroll down to 'Methodist'.Google maps show a large church located at the corner of 13th St. & 7th Ave.I know your record says '14th St', but that corner doesn't appear to haveanything that now resembles a church. The one on 13th appears to be an oldchurch (they don't build them like that anymore), and is now called theChurch of the Village. http://www.churchofthevillage.org/links.html Thischurch is affiliated with the United Methodist Church. The site has emailcontact links. I would email one of these links and ask if this might havebeen the site of the old 1880s Central Methodist Episcopal church thatyou're looking for, and ask if there are old records. Also ask, if it's notthe right one, if there is some sort of central location for old records ofthe Methodist churches (similar to our Archdiocese for RC Churches). Goodluck and let us know if you solve this.Terry Bora----- Origi! nal Message -----From: "Nancy Lyons" <nancyml@comcast.net>To: <ny-irish@rootsweb.com>Sent: Sunday, January 17, 2010 12:56 PMSubject: [NY-IRISH] Central Methodist Episcopal Church>i have a marriage from this church dated 1885.

Pat Connors reminded me that I didn't specify NYC on my post about the Central Methodist Episcopal Church . Yes it is NYC. I did try to google it but it was not productive, thought someone on the list may have had a reason to research it before me. Thanks for any help, and thanks Pat for pointing that out. regards Nancy.

The Ireland Genealogy Project, County Armagh website has been updated with new townland and civil parish webpages. Kilcooney Civil Parish and Seagoe Civil Parish webpages have been added plus pages for all the townlands in the civil pages. There are now over 712 townland pages on the site, over 70% of the all the townlands in County Armagh. Townland and civil parish pages include links, and available Family History Library films with their numbers, plus available religious records. Some have maps and pictures plus surnames from the area that others are researching. The CP pages have links to all the townlands located in the parish. Some have records. If you don't find a townland that you are interested in, you can email me to request it and I will include in the next update. Since moving the site from Rootsweb to the new IGW website last year, I recently found that some of the link changes didn't take, especially on the Record page. Those have been fixed but there still may be some on the various townland pages that didn't take, so if you come across a link that doesn't work, please email me off the list and let me know so I can fix it with my next update. If you would like to add any records and/or pictures to the site, please contact me off the list. You can find the site at: http://www.igp-web.com/armagh/index.htm -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

There were "soda" factories located in Brooklyn in the 19thc .."soda" meaning soda water ie seltzer. I know in addition to seltzer, the main product, root beer was also bottled early on.

List members may be interested in this data base which has information on 2,303 individuals who were born in Ireland. ANNOUNCING NEW DATABASE BOOK 2 - INTERMENT INDEX ST. AGNES CEMETERY, MENANDS NEW YORK INTERMENT YEARS - 1883-1910 A. Book 2, part of a multi-volume set of Interment Records at St. Agnes Cemetery, Menands, NY, which includes 6,073 names, has now been added to the Troy Irish Genealogy website. This new data series of interment records list an individuals name, date of death and age at death. In a large number of records, the age is reported in years, months and days. It is interesting to note that there were 714 deaths of children under the age of 1 and 697 deaths of children ages 1 to 16. Those records that have no date of death are shown with the interment date and are identified by an asterisk (*). Some early deaths dating prior to 1883, are most likely re-interments from the State Street Burial site which was located at the site of present day Washington Park. Many of those in the Catholic section of this old cemetery were moved to St. Agnes Cemetery under an 1868 authorization. B. You can view these interment records by going to the Troy Irish Genealogy website at: www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ and click on PROJECTS and then click on ST. AGNES CEMETERY, MENANDS, NY - INTERMENT RECORDS. It should be noted that these records, like most of the TIGS data series, cover the general population in the area and are NOT restricted to Irish surnames. C. Researchers having relatives with a CAPITAL DISTRICT area connection, will be interested in these on-line, name searchable, online records of names of individuals who were interred in St. Agnes Cemetery. If you live in a nearby county or even further away, you might want to check out these names. Take a look at the data base, you never know what you will find. D. The TIGS website has a PRINTABLE FORM that can be used to request more information from the Albany Diocesan Cemeteries. Mailing instructions and fees (only $5.00) are on the request form. Additional items that may be available from the full interment record may include: 1. PLACE OF BIRTH: Some interesting statistics based on the place of birth reported in this interment book containing 6,073 individual records are: a. 2,922 were born in the City of Albany. Albany was the birthplace of the largest number of individuals in the interment records. Other Capital Region cities/towns showed the following for place of birth: Troy-68, Cohoes-49, West Troy (now Watervliet)-18, Watervliet-136, Greenbush-7, Green Island-11, Schenectady-9, Menands-10, Rensselaer-17, Colonie-17. b. 2,303 were born in Ireland. Ireland had the second largest number of individuals in the interment records. Other countries showed 173 born in the following countries: Austria-1, Belgium-3, Canada-46, England-20, France-5, Germany-50, Hungary-1, Italy-34, Poland-1, Scotland-8, Sweden-1, Switzerland-1, The Netherlands-2. c. 77 were born in the following states: Connecticut-9, Illinois-3, Kentucky-1, Maryland-1, Massachusetts-25, Michigan-2, New Jersey-15, North Dakota--1, Ohio-1, Pennsylvania-4, Rhode Island-1, Texas-1, Vermont-9, Virginia-3, Washington, DC-1. d. The remaining 256 records reflect births in various New York State cities/towns outside the Capital Region and 6 records identified only as "America or USA" and 24 records that show no place of birth. 2. PLACE OF DEATH: While a number of the area communities like Troy, Cohoes, Colonie, Green Island, Watervliet, Menands are reported as the place of death, the overwhelming number of deaths, 4,807 out of the 6,073 records, occurred in the city of Albany. A smaller number of deaths occurred in other areas of New York State or in other states. 3. RESIDENCE ADDRESS: The bulk of these interment records will show a street address with a house number. A lesser number may only show the street name or street intersections while some others may just mention the name of the city where the death occurred. 4. INTERMENT DATE: The date of interment in St. Agnes Cemetery may be another clue which will be helpful to genealogy and family researchers. 5. IN WHOSE LOT THEY ARE INTERRED: Most of these entries show the first and last name of lot owners and in some cases show multiple family names as the lot owners. 6. LOT NUMBER. 7. SECTION NUMBER. 8. UNDERTAKER: The reporting of the name of the undertaker was a later addition to the interment pages. Only 2,739 of the 6,073 records show the name of the undertaker. E. Stay tuned for Book 3 coming soon. This book, covering interments from 1886 to 1903 will have over 12,000 names. Hopefully you will find some of your ancestors listed in Book 2 of the Interment Index or in the various other data series on the Troy Irish Genealogy website.

I have just uploaded the following civil parish tithes to the Limerick section of my website: St Patrick's, St Munchins and St Nicholas. They all include part of Limerick City. Please read my notes before looking at the index because some may apply to surnames you are researching. Also, remember these are only indexes with names, numbers and townlands. If you find a name of interest, please check out the film for more information about the land/crops where the person lived. Also, since handwriting and condition of the film lead to transcription errors, one should never use another person's transcription as a source document until you look at the film yourself. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
