Hi Nameless One, In Defenders of Ireland there is a John McCaul, Armagh. These guys' names sound like the Englishry would not have been so found of them. They sound like highlanders. They were probably holed up somewhere with their own kin. Kingsmell wasn't there either.

It contains two ists of names (with some details) from two sources. These are the muster roll f Garrison in the City of Londonderry from 1642-43. This resides in PRONI as 808/15176, from the National Archives in London, State Papers, Domestic, ommonwealth Exchequer Papers, bundles 120 and 121). The second is from "The ighters of Derry Their Deeds and Descendants..." by William Young, published in 932. It covers the period 1688-1691. It also names those of the Enniskillen ampaign as well as the harrying of Jacobite forces in Connaught and Ulster by ocally raised regiments out of Enniskillen, Battle of the Boyne, Battle of ughrim, and the final Irish surrender 23 Sept. 1691.

Hi Sean, I don't recall mentioning any bmds from Galway or anywhere else. I mentioned a website: http://www.rootsireland.ie/ It is the last in a series of attempts by the Irish to provide access to BMDs in a way that didn't result in them being cursed widely on the Internet for a variety of faults or sins, while harvesting money from the diaspora (a diaspora that expects everything for nothing). The first attempt had each county funded to hire some local eejit to locate and index records into a computer. Then the diaspora wrote letters enclosing cash. This didn't work out too well because some counties did good but some really bad. Some of the people hired were more fit for herding sheep. Standards were not maintained. The diaspora didn't want to wait months after sending large amounts of cash to a foreign country, especially when they got no results or responses other than the canceled check. Some of course did much better. This attempt has aggregated the indexes into one database which is free on the Internet. Then the diaspora can do the searching themselves. They are directed to the website of the county and once they pay some cash, are provided on line with a transcription of the actual text. Or (and) they can order up a copy of the real thing. Of course it might be in the FHL but as we know from the Scots, it is not so hard to get the diaspora to pay money for what they could get free or almost if they learned a bit. They want instant access and so they pay for it. In many cases the indexes and records, before, could only be got by hiring someone in Dublin if not locally (not all in Dublin, but most were). Meanwhile the law prosecuted a few bishops who wouldn't let anyone see the records (parts of Limerick come to mind). While they were ruled public records, if I recall correctly, I don't know if one can get access to all of them right now. The local genealogy centre can tell you. The Limerick ones were filmed and in Dublin but no one was allowed to view them. I was dealing with a case in Limerick, which is why it is on my mind. We located the ancestor without needing to bother with the bishop, thank heavens. Or is he an archbishop? I donno...I know he's a pain, but that's all. I know nothing about Tuam records. There are a couple ways to find out. Go to http://www.rootsireland.ie/ and follow the lines to the Galway County Genealogical Centre. You can find them here: http://ifhf.rootsireland.ie/map.php Click on Galway. Read information on page. It contains an email to contact them by. The site also provides a page with their sources: http://galwayeast.rootsireland.ie/generic.php?filename=sources.tpl&selectedMenu=sources Some of the centres have very experienced staff and some do not. It's luck of the draw. For more info you can contact the East Galway Genealogical Centre. It's a bit of a wide sweep to claim that no records are recorded before a certain date. Actually the CHurch of IReland records begin much earlier. However not all parishes survive due to the Four Courts Fire. Many Irish and Presbyterians were baptized in the Church of Ireland. In the first course you take in Irish genealogy they tell you ALWAYS check those records. How? Well, you just did at the site above. Try IGI. Also using Ryan "Irish Records", identify the status of parish records surrounding where your ancestor lived. It'll tell you if they were locally held or microfilmed at the date of publication of the book. If you mean Catholic records begin in 1864, then, if the site above and Ryan say that, that is when they start. What kind of fool keeps records of an illegal church so the government can find them and arrest everyone? Really dumb!! People that dumb didn't make it through the 1600s in Ireland. However there are plenty of records that exist that aren't Catholic records. It takes far more than an email to learn how to use them. That's why thick books are written on how to do Irish genealogy: it ain't intuitive. You gotta learn what those records are and how to interpret them. "A Genealogist's Guide to Discovering your Irish Ancestors" is a good start.

Hi, Linda.....hey, I got a DNA test, even found an Armstrong cousin in Co. Tyrone although he wasn't interested in swapping ancestor stories. His ancestors are from the same tiny townland...it's only a 25 match, but with the location and all, it seems pretty positive. His cousin sent me photos of the old (wrecked now) farmstead. Milligan is also a Scottish name...they say that she always swore she was Scottish, but then everybody did that. We don't know where Milligan and Field came from for sure, but assume Milligan was Fermanagh as that is pretty close to where my Armstrongs lived in Tyrone. We finally found the Milligan graves in a Boston area cemetery. Of course they were hard to find...one stone was only "Mother" and the other was "Father." It took a Milligan researcher to find the stones among some of the offspring, but we still can't find where they came from. You might remember that I asked about those folks before....they went back to Ireland and then back to the USA through Liverpool to Quebec to Boston. We could never find ships' records in Boston because they didn't come in that way. Sorry I missed the McCoy and Armstrong stuff...Termonmagurk area of Co. Tyrone. You mean the list archives? I am surprised I missed that although this has been a beastly year and I had to let the genealogy stuff mostly slide. Hoping to get back to it.

Hi Marilyn Noticed your Otterson name - one of my Tyrone family lines descends from an Otterson - not my direct ancestors but linked! My great-grandmother's sister Annie Ferguson born Loughry, Tyrone (near Cookstown) 14/6/1855, married John Brisbin, born 2/8/1852, place unknown but probably around the same area, as they were married in Tyrone, and Annie's father at that time was head coachman at Loughry Estate then owned by the Lindesay family, now a campus of the Uni of Belfast. John was the son of James Brisbin (born 1820) and Martha Otterson (born 1820). This information was sourced from the Notes of the Congregation of the 3rd Cookstown Presbyterian Church by the Rev John Knox Leslie (1842)- James Brisbane 1820 married 26 April 1844, Martha Otterson, 1825. Martha's father was John Otterson. James' parents were William Brisbin and Ann Little. John and Annie emigrated to Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia on the Scottish Lassie in 1879. Let me know if you are interested in this family - it is a large one and I haven't completed it but I do have the first few generations in Queensland.

A pamphlet published in Philadelphia in 1764 is a scurrilous attack on James Bickham, chief magistrate of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, who is charged, among other things, with encouraging the Paxton Boys to masacre the Conestoga Indians lodged for their own safety in the Lancaster work house. Bickham was a prominent merchant, county justice, and warden of St. James Episcopal Church in Lancaster. The pamphlet has various genealogical details that are difficult to verify. Bickham was apparently from County Tyrone, where his father was clerk of either Cappagh or Drumragh parish. James accompanied his father in collecting tithes. He married "Jemy" or "Semy" Blythe's daughter. Blythe kept a public house in Omagh and, according to the pamphlet, a bawdy house as well. They went to America, accompanied by his wife's sister, whom Bickham promptly sold as an indentured servant to an Indian trader thereby getting enough capital to start as a peddler himself. Has anyone run across people named Bickham or Blythe in or near Omagh in the 18th century? There is a throwaway line that Bickham (by now in Pennsylvania) "even told lies to gentlemen like William McCausland." William McCausland lived in Leacock Township, Lancaster County. He was from Omagh and had property in nearby Cappagh Parish, where these McCauslands were established. His son John was back in Omagh in 1756 and, according to tradition, returned with the plans for Second Omagh used to build Old Leacock Presbyterian Church and several skilled workmen from Omagh as well employed in building it. The elder or younger McCausland could well be the source for the specific information about Bickhams and Blythes in Omagh. Can anyone cast any more light on these people? Richard MacMaster

Hi, Sandra, Alas, my husband's father was from Norwegian/Swedish folks. His last name is Norwegian...you know, one of the names that changes every generation as you research back over the years when people took their name from the father's first name...so, for instance, Sven Johnsen's son Harold would be Harold Svensen. This makes researching genealogy in Scandinavia pretty difficult, at least some of the time. About 10 years ago we were in No. Ireland and looking for grave markers near Ballymena, Antrim. The custodian of one of the cemeteries looked so much like my husband's dad that it was amazing...but we didn't mention it until we have left there, each of us thinking the other didn't notice. Now I wish we had a chance to ask the fellow if he had any Norwegian ancestors. There are a good number of Irish Ottersons, too, so guess some Vikings must have left a few descendants there long ago.
