    1. O'Connor circus
    2. Does anyone have information on "the O'Connor circus" which summered in Swan City, Nebraska during the summers of 1866-1871? Swan City is now a ghost town, but was located on Nebraska route 103. There is a granite marker overlooking cornfields which mentions Swan City and the O'Connor circus. Many thanks, Heather O'Connor Boston, MA [email protected]

Why not contact the Circus archive people and see what happens. See phone number below. Ley Circus World Museum The Circus World Museum is one of Wisconsin's premiere attractions featuring live circus performances under the big top, demonstrations, concerts of extraordinary musical instruments, and exhibits commemorating over 200 years of the American Circus. Included is a collection of over 170 circus wagons and antique circus vehicles.

    1. Mort Scheds 1850-1860-1870-1880 Clarity and note from Listowner
    2. Perhaps I need to clarify this info on the mortality schedules. Mortality schedules are census records kept for the year prior to the regular census. It covers the time peroid of for instance May 31, 1869 to June 1, 1870. So these are for one year peroids only. So the info I have covers only 1849-1850 1859-1860 1869-1870 1879-1880 I have recieved help for both the O'Connor and Goodwin list and hope to have these on a web site soon. Database for Goodwin is ready to go and we are working on it, thanx HERB I'm entering the O'Connor/Var today, but will wait until I have also extracted Connor/Var . They will be combined. I have 2 offers to help with it. I will acceppt both on a temporary basis, I 'm working with one to see if I can get it on my web site, another has offered to put it on her website. Thanx, BECKY and MARY !! I do recommend that if you locate an ancestor on these lists that you order the originals, some have information regarding next of kin, who notified a doctor, etc about the deaths. Sometimes this can help you in your searches. Also look at the State of birth and see if there is a possible name before checking the State of death. the abreviation CD = Canada '' '' '' '' IR= Ireland US= don't know where they were born, but in the states OA= Haven't figured it out yet, any ideas ? the cause of death inanition = insane, empty (as per 1928 dictonary) PS: I have really enjoyed these mailing lists, not too many problems, I've never had to ban anyone and we all tolerate each others sometimes weird spelling. I know I think a heck of a lot faster than I type and I have to remember to re-read what I think I wrote. I'm very happy that we have not had any wars like they have had on the Ontario list. That is one troubled list. I am a firm believer in "just delete it if you don't like it". Also you have probably noticed that only ONE spam got thru since the new filters went in. If you don't already belong to Rootsweb, consider it. They are the ones bringing you all the lists you belong to ( well at least 98% of them). Good luck, Ley K. O'Connor Ley K.

    2. Barry Fraser
    3. Hi all and Michael in particular, Some time ago, Michael O'Connor set me the following task: >I have been following all the messages that Dona so kindly has sent to the >list regarding Kerry baptisms from O'Keife etc. I have noticed the same >problem that Barry is now querying, that is are the "towns" mentioned by >Dona and Barry actual towns or are they just townlands in civil parishes? >Like Barry, I cannot find any towns on my map of Ireland which seems to show >even small villages which, if you blink whilst driving, you miss them! :-) >Barry, I would suggest that you scurry off in haste to your nearest LDS >(Mormon Church) Family History Centre and look up the Griffith's Valuations >for County Kerry (use the index prepared by the National Library in Dublin >which is on microfilm in the LDS FHC) and see if you can identify if any >O'CONNOR/CONNORS/CONNOR is recorded in those places you mention. >Please report back to the list so that we will all know that these are >townlands and not towns/villages. >Hope all on the list have a very happy Christmas and all good health in the >New Year. >Regards >Mike Sadly, a check of Griffith's Valuations proved no help nor did hiring a researcher in Ireland to find them for me. But fate has lent a hand! I received the following e-mail yesterday from a woman whose ancestors come from the very same area: >Thank you for responding! According to the marriage record my >gggrandfather, Michael Connor was of Mouladireen, Templenoe Parish, Barony >of South Duneran(sp Dunkerron), Union and Registra District of Kenmare, >County, Ireland when he married second Mary Foley in 8 November 1876 in the >Roman Catholic Chapel of Kenmare. He had several children which were >recorded as having been born in Mouladireen or Derreendarragh. So I would >surmise that both these townlands were in close proximity. > >According to the Griffith's 1852 Valuation, Derreendarragh is also located >in the Parish of Templenoe. According the Ordinance Survey Map, >Derreendarragh is an area of approximately 225 acres, with a population of >13 in 1852. It is located in the Barony of Dunkerron South, Parish of >Templenoe, Electoral District of Dromore, Union of Kenmare, Ireland. >[Ordanance map #92] If you look at a current map of Ireland, Templenoe is >located on the Kenmare River slightly south of east of the townland of >Kenmare on western coast of County Kerry. Mouladireen does not appear on >any of the current maps which I have access to, however Derreendarragh is >located north of the Blackwater Bridge and NNW of Templenoe. Templenoe is >about 5 km from Templenoe and Templenoe is about 10 km from Kenmare. As >Mouladireen was in the Templenoe Civil Parish, it was most probably in this >Blackwater region. I doubt find this very tiny townland (with a population of 13 people) will be of much general help to those on the list, but it certainly made my day! My thanks to all who generously offered help with this.

Your morning Irish blessing: Wherever you go and whatever you do, May the luck of the Irish be there with you. Your morning Irish blessing: May there always be work for your hands to do, May your purse always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane, May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain. Your morning Irish blessing: May I see you gray And combing your grandchildren's hair. Your morning Irish blessing: May your troubles be less And your blessings be more. And nothing but happiness Come through your door. Your morning Irish blessing: May the strength of three be in your journey. Your morning Irish blessing: Always remember to forget The troubles that passed away. But never forget to remember The blessings that come each day. Your morning Irish blessing: As you slide down the bannister of life, May the splinters never point the wrong way.

    2. In a message dated 3/3/99 6:43:03 AM Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: << Reply-to: <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A> (Dale H. McMasters) Subject: LDS FAMILY SEARCH COMING SOON As the director of a LDS Family History Center, I have received a notice from Salt Lake LDS FHL, announcing the Beta testing of Family Search on line. It is not yet up, a problem with a piece of equipment, but will be starting sometimes this month and will be up only a few weeks as a test run. If there is not a lot of interest it will be taken off and not put back on. So spread the word and keep trying to get through. When it comes on line the URL will be: > www.familysearch.org <. I have not been told exactly what will be available but know at least the Ancestral File and Family History Library Catalog will be included. Family Search is the name of the program we have on CDs in all LDS FHCs. Some public libraries also have this program. FS includes the IGI, Ancestral File, Family History Library Catalog, Social Security Death Records, Koran and Vietnam war death records, and Scottish Church Records. For those of you not familiar with the various searches, the IGI is the International Genealogical Index. It includes, in alphabetical order, all of the names that have been sent to the Temples to have ordinances performed in their name. Names in the IGI are usually submitted by members, but not always. Non-members also submit their family names to get them into the IGI. Some of the marriages may have been part of extraction programs. The names were taken from courthouse records and checked and rechecked by several volunteers before being accepted as correct. Most people do try to send in accurate information but there are many mistakes. My advice is, always check the original source. Use the IGI to find where people with your surname would have lived and order the census and court records from that area. Ancestral File is Gedcoms of group and pedigree sheets sent in by members and non-members. The name and address of the submitter is included and hopefully will allow you to contact others working on your line. If the address is out of date sometimes a letter to the Membership dept. in Salt Lake will get you a correct address if the person was a member of the LDS church. Once again, the material is only as good as the research that went into it and some of it is pretty bad. Check it out before you 'adopt' it. If you find a mistake on Ancestral File, you can send in your corrections, along with your sources of proof, and it will be noted in the next update. The first submitter does not have to provide proof, but you do, if you are making a correction. You can add additions to a file, or submit a new file. You do not have to be a member to submit material. The Family History Library Catalog is a listing of every book, film and fiche available at the Salt Lake City LDS Family History Library. This allows us to find what is available for each locality, world-wide. It includes the FHL call numbers and a description of what is included in the film/fiche or book. The material from the books and film/fiche will not be on line. That is not something they can do, at this time. Hopefully it will be a possibility some time in the distant future. The film and fiche will still have to be ordered through FHC. Microfilm and microfiche are the property of the FHL and are sent into the care of the LDS FHC director and must remain under her/his care until returned. For this reason they are never allowed to be taken from the LDS FHC. Almost all of the microfilm and microfiche at the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City can be ordered into any LDS FHL, anywhere in the world, but there are a few exceptions. Copyright laws prevent them from using material without the written consent of the owner. Some of the film and fiche where filmed by companies other than the LDS Church and permission to circulate these film to LDS FHCs has been denied. There will be a notice included in the description, saying it can not be circulated. Many of the SC microfilm where made by a company who has refused permission to allow the film to be circulated, but there are many microfilm available for SC, some covering the same material that is on the restricted film. The LDS FHL is a non-profit organization, and that is why it still cost only 15 cents a sheet for a microfiche, $3.25 plus tax to rent a microfilm for a month [may be more in other countries] and the Source Guide and other home use programs are sold at such a reasonable price. We aren't allowed to make a profit, even in the FHCs. The books that are listed are not loaned out but can sometimes be obtained through an Inter-library loan through your public library. You can request copies of pages and if a book is indexed, by ordering the index you can see if your people would have been listed. In cases where the copyright has expired the book may have been filmed or can be filmed upon request. Never hurts to ask. >>

I have talked to both the FHL and to FHC Support in order to get some information. Some of the people I talked with said they did not know. Others said that information could not be released at this time. I "hit the jackpot" on my last phone call. I talked to a Brother who was able to answer most of my questions. He was in a meeting last weekand received his information directly from the person who is doing the web-site. These are some of the things he could remember about the beta test. It will have only a few things at first. It will begin with the AF and FHLC. Things will be added. They want see what kind of a response they will have. they want to get a count of the number of people who will use the site. They need this information prior to Gen. Conf. in order to make a final decision about going on-line or not. If they decide to have a permanent FH web site, it will be announced at conference.
