Dear Fellow List Servers, I have just added several hundred pages to my web site that will have some interest to those doing Scots-Irish research as well as research in Co. Monaghan and Cavan. Members of all denominations and ethnic backgrounds are included in the sweep of this work - their geography and relation to the BREAKEY family is the common denominator. The link is: http://www.user.dccnet.com/s.brown/documents/Breakey_Memoirs/My%20Intoduction%20to%20Thomas%20Cathcart%20BREAKY%20Memoirs.htm To quote myself (from the introduction to these pages): Since my index to these two books of Memoirs is alphabetical, this means that it starts with the Old Testament person called Adam and ends with the ancient Greek, Zenophen. Between these two ancient names, there are approximately 500 individuals - most of whom lived in the 1700-1800s and within a day's horse-ride from Ballybay. Thomas Cathcart BREAKEY's Memoirs are also chock full of folk sayings, family stories, histories of the region and insights into the life and character of Thomas Cathcart Breakey. Taken together, these two "books" are quite possibly as idiosyncratic as my attempts at an index. Be forewarned - this not an academic approach - but it does work for me and I will explain. Incidentally, Ballybay is in Co. Monaghan and although people from many other counties are mentioned in this annotated index that I have prepared, most of them come from Cavan or Monaghan. I have also prepared a place names index to complement the surname index. .
