Does anyone know of a library, or of anyone that would be willing to look up an obituary for me? I have a Thomas WABOLIS (d) 1983 and his wife Frieda A. WABOLIS (d) October 1995, both in Dobbs Ferry, NY. I am at a standstill with this line and have been looking for an obituary, or for an address to write for an obituary for quite some time now but with no luck! I'd appreciate any assistance that anyone can forward to me! Des

In a message dated 5/3/99 5:26:35 PM Pacific Daylight Time, << Hi All, Our Sarah finally got taken in this afternoon for her heart catherization and is now in recovery watching "Land Before Time II". She had a very bad headache this morning, but it was mostly due to not having eaten and waiting longer than expected to have the cath done. I suspect the morphine used has probably helped to take the edge off her headache. She has kept down some water and juice and we have ordered her some dinner. She has to stay flat for about 4 hours and then we will be on our way home with her. We, her family, thank everyone for their prayers and the medals and Saint Cards. We are breathing a little easier right now. Her aortic valve is working great , but is way too small, which is one of the reasons she is having problems. Surgery is still scheduled for mid June. Her medals and Saint cards were sewn on a ribbon and placed near her bed. Thanx, God Bless, Ley >>

Hi, My O'Connors, Michael (my ggrandfather) and his sisters Mary and Katherine, are buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Hoosick. Michael died in 1883, Mary in 1905, and Katherine in 1925. I have no birthdates, and don't for certain know whether they were born in NY or Ireland. The 1855 Greenbush(Ren Co) NY census lists a family of O'Connors(p62/63) that could possibly be mine. Michael is the appropriate age--and was born in NY as my mother believes her grandfather was. There are also a Mary and a Kate. Anyone have anything more on this family?? Thanks, Pat Griffiths NJPatRN

Hi Joe! This post is not quite what you asked about, but anyone with information on O'Connors in the Kerry/Cork area is a source that I must check into....if it's ok with you. I'm looking for Thomas O'Connor on one side of that border or another - but close by, who married Mary Gaines (or Geany), and circa 1837, became the father of Mary M. O'Connor. In the 1850's, Mary O'Connor married John Sullivan. I'm wondering if you have run across these names in your reading? Thanks so much for your generous offer, and I hope to hear from you. Thank you.

I have been daily sending excerpts from the Celtic League calendar to some friends and relatives and decided tonight to start sending it tomorrow to you folks on the list. The Gaeilge words used are lacking the appropriate fada and seimhui which , of course, would affect correct pronunciation, but you might find it interesting. There is a little Manx, Cornish, Breton, Welsh and Scottish Gaelic thrown in. John Laughland

I have recently come into a old hand written family history titled "Outline of the O'Connor Family History." I have no idea who wrote it but I thought the first few paragraphs might help somone. "For several generations the O'Connors worked a large tract of land under an absentee landlord in England in that part of County Kerry called Sussa a few miles for the town of Cabirsiteen. When "The Land Reform Act" restored the premises to the tennants, a part of that section lying generally between Killarney and the Macklicuddy Mountain Range passed to family of O'Connor. This section of land eventually became vested in two brothers-one belived to be Patrick, and the otherJeremiah(or Dermid) known as"Dermid au Cipeen"for his skill in the use of the shillalih." This history is of the Dermid family. I believe I am of the Patrick family and if anyone has any information on this family I would love to hear it. If this sound like it may help you e-Mail me with what you are looking for and I will try to help. This is many pages hand written and also I will be away for a few day. Thanks Joe O'Connor >> Hi Joe, Do you have a time period here ? Some of us have O'Connors that left before 1925, some around the famine and others later, not to mention in between. Sounds like some great info for some happy family. Perhaps it could be shared on a web site ? Ley K. O'Connor

Description: Despite remaining a part of the Union during the American Civil War, many residents of Missouri were sympathetic to the Confederate cause. An estimated two thousand men from the state volunteered to fight for the Confederate States of America. Taken from the History of the First and Second Missouri Confederate Brigades, 1861-1865 published in 1879, this database lists over 1600 men who volunteered to fight in the 1st and 2nd Missouri Confederate Brigades. Researchers will find the name and rank of the volunteer along with information regarding residence and occupation. For those seeking male Missourian ancestors from the mid-1800's, this can be a useful source of information. Bibliography: Debra Graden. First and Second Missouri Confederate Brigades.

As an interesting addition to this, I recently heard an English language expert on NPR explain the origins of several sayings, most notably " basket case" and " toe the line ". "Basket case" originated with the medical community after WW1, when a quadruple amputation became medically feasible. Quadruple amputees were carried around hospital campuses in "baskets" and the term basket case was born, the term eventually began to refer to the resulting psychological state these poor souls were in after losing both arms and legs. " Toe the line" came from the rules of bare knuckle boxing, when a fighter who was knocked down was allowed to continue fighting if he could stand and put his right foot on the "starting line" . The boxers began the fight by each placing their right foot on the starting line. Hence, someone who cant " toe the line" is someone who cant finish what they started or cant successfully complete a task. Off topic I know, but interesting as hell.

Hi I am looking for the descendant for Cecelia O'CONNOR and Werner SCHAEFER of Madison Wisconsin. Cecelia was the daughter of Joseph O'CONNOR and his wife Suzanne. Michael P. Morrissey

A little late on this notice because I've been out of town. This note does underline the importance of running virus software on your machines. ---- Yesterday, we became aware of a particularly nasty new virus called CIH or Chernobyl virus. Much like the old Michelangelo virus, this is a date dependent virus that lurks in machines until a particular date. This virus activates based upon the 26th of a month. Certain strains kick in on April 26th with others on June 26th. Since yesterday, we have found a fair amount of it on campus. The CERT Incident Note IN-99-03 can be viewed at http://www.cert.org/incident_notes/IN-99-03.html . I don't normally throw up red flags on these things, but I have some level of concern over this particular event. Two simple ways of dealing with this virus are to set your system date to April 27th now and then correct it on Tuesday. This does not get rid of the virus, but at least you avoid the date. The other simple method is to leave systems shut down between 11:59 pm on Sunday through 12:01 am on Tuesday. With both of these methods, systems must still be check for the virus. The best way of dealing with this is to find a program that recognizes and cleans it off prior to the 26th.
