Hi list, I came across this info yesterday. Hence, it appears there were McENTAGGART-McTAGGART-McINTYRE in County Roscommon. What other county's do they have a connection to? I believe Co.

The "Free State" is the name given to what is now the republic of Ireland, 26 of the 32 counties of Ireland. The remaining 6 counties comprise Northern Ireland. The Six Counties are Antrim, Armagh, Derry, Down, Fermanagh, and Tyrone. All others are in the Republic. Three counties of what is the historic province of Ulster are in the Republic: that is, Cavan, Donegal, and Monaghan. Janet C-S

Link to index for Limerick Families West Limerick Families Abroad" and "Poverty to Promise" http://www.alphalink.com.au/~datatree/index.htm Links to Co Cork, Co Limerick and Co Clare families. www.alphalink.com.au/~datatree/Burke/Burke-p/index.htm Irish Roots Issue No. 39 2001 3rd quarter The Lure of Limerick In 1853 as the parents of Mary Barrett of Shanagolden, County Limerick had both died, she took advantage of sponsorship offered by local landlord, Lord Monteagle to travel to Victoria, Australia on the Monteagle. She soon was employed by Mrs Hollis of South Bourke Street, Melbourne for £25 a year plus rations. Like many other Irish settlers, out of her wages Mary remitted £6 to Ireland to assist with the fares of her siblings Bridget, Ellen, Catherine, Michael and John. Other relatives, Catherine and Mary Corbett, also made the long journey. Lord Monteagle advanced the remaining sum needed for their deposits while Lady Monteagle used her influence to ensure that the family travelled together at a time when, due to the gold rushes, assisted immigration for single males into Victoria was not generally permitted. After arriving in Geelong on the Chandenagore on 21 June 1854, Mary's family went to Collingwood to join their sister. Mary Barrett's story came to light in documents associated with the 'Monteagle emigrants'. These were Australian-Irish who had previously lived within the influence of a local parliamentary member for Limerick (and later, Cambridge), Thomas Spring Rice and his family around his estate at Mount Trenchard overlooking the Shannon Estuary. (This is the same man who during his term as Secretary of State for the Colonies applied for leave to bring in a bill to establish criminal courts on Norfolk Island in the 1830s.) The history of this migration between 1838 and 1858, was told in a 1994 book, Poverty to Promise, written by Limerick researcher, Dr Christopher O'Mahony and Australian social historian, Valerie Thompson. Following the success of this volume which identified about 736 of the settlers, Valerie Thompson now has joined forces with Kate Press of Melbourne to broaden the study to include West Limerick people who left the area up to the end of the nineteenth century including those seeking homes in places other than the two largest Australian colonies. The new quarto sized book, West Limerick Families Abroad, is most comprehensive, offering ready identification of over 1,000 family names, showing not only their Irish origins but also their issue in the new countries of residence.Quite apart from the 214 pages allocated to West Limerick families' biographies, several appendices supplement the text contributing prolific references for anyone researching this particular county. A chronology of Irish history is augmented by a time-line for appropriate records before a more detailed listing of local sources ranging from census, histories, journals and directories, to gravestone inscriptions and graveyard records. Valuable schedules including the Limerick newspapers with their dates of publication as well as parish structures -covering the Roman Catholic, civil, and Church of Ireland equivalents and dates - appear in alphabetical groupings under both civil and Roman Catholic headings. Further amplification is offered by the reproduction of the section dealing with the Monteagle property in the 1844 Enquiry into the Occupation of Land in Ireland in addition to the inclusion of numerous Limerick entries that appeared in The Search for Missing FriendsIrish immigrant advertisements placed in the Boston Pilot, published by the New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston, Massachusetts. Following a section on faction fighters and a couple of entries on convicts, the List of Contributors provides contact details for genealogists eager to link families. This well illustrated volume, of which only 1,000 copies were printed, is an essential reference book for libraries and society collections. West Limerick Families Abroad, by Kate Press and Valerie Thompson, Melbourne, 2001 is available from Data Tree Press, Suite 393, 45 Glenferrie Road, Malvern, Victoria, 3114 for A$28.95 plus postage and packing (within Australia) of A$9.00.

The Irish Free State (Saorstat Éireann) was (1922-1937) the name of the state comprising the 26 of Ireland's 32 counties which were separated from the United Kingdom under the Irish Free State Agreement (or Treaty) signed by British and Irish representatives in London on December 6, 1921. Registration of non-Catholic marriages began in 1845 in Ireland. Registration of births, marriages and deaths, regardless of religion, began January 1, 1864. Parish records--primarily baptisms, marriages, and burials--provide the best source of vital record information in the centuries before civil registration. Certificates for births, marriages and deaths for all of Ireland until 1922 and for the Republic since 1922 are housed in Dublin. Belfast has the records for Northern Ireland from 1922 to present in addition to the all Ireland records from 1864-1922.

A little-known fact about the ur-Larkin (the last one to have a staff of eggsellers) is that he was actually named KRAL (given name: Michael)--BUT he was not dissLexIc so far as I know.

Hi Maureen & Listers I know I have seen replies regarding the Irish Free State, but for some odd reason, I did not save it. Now I need to know what counties were included especially if Fermanagh or Butlerbridge Co Cavan are two of these. James & Elizabeth (nee McKeon, McKuen) emigrated to the Port of NY in May 1870 with three children Patrick, James & Elizabeth approximate ages of 10,8,& 5 respectivley. All of the death certificates and censuses I have, just state Ireland as place of birth. On the 1930 census, place of birth is listed as Irish Free State. The widow of my father's cousin says they are from Butlersbridge Co Cavan, but I have found nothing to substantiate this. I am also leaning towards Fermanagh as their county of origin, since I found on a search of the IGI an Elizabeth Teevan born on 5 Aug, 1865 in Belleek, Fermanagh to a James Teevan and a Eliza Keon. Young Elizabeth was born on 5 August, but on all of my documentation, the year of birth varies as does the other children. Any suggestions on where to look for their county of origin?

Rita, Check the death dates. They may have filled up one family plot with whomever died first. Also check out religious issues. Does the cemetery have any records to help, or obituaries? My grandparents are buried next to each other, even though they were divorced with new spouses. My grandmother died during bad money times and her sisters-in-law took her in when she was ill and paid to bury her. They also paid to bury their brother, my grandfather. His new wife either didn't have the money or they wanted him buried in the Catholic cemetery---I think it was a bit of both.

Good Morning All, Most of you know about the DNA Research, I found a way to be part of it for free. If you want to learn or be a part of this worldwide genealogy construction, offered by LDS and BYU, go to: http://molecular-genealogy.byu.edu/ to get a calendar for your area: www.smgf.org Please excuse any duplicate notice you get, I felt this was important to get out. One free lecture and collection is Saturday, August 17th, but there are others. It won't give us individual molecular genealogy right now, that is still costly, however it is important and worthwhile to genealogy research. Happy Hunting to all, Sheila searching McGarry, Egan, Casserly, Coll, Murray, Carney, Beirne, Sharkey, O'Rorke, Noonan (Frenchpark and Castlerea)so far __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
