If you're searching in Massachusetts, this might be interesting. I found it in the e-mail newsletter of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. This is *all* I know about this resource. For more info, pls contact the appropriate web site or NEHGS. --------------------------- Spotlight on Library Websites, Part Three Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) http://www.mlin.lib.ma.us/ Manuscripts, Archives & Special Collections http://www.mlin.org/books/manuscripts/index.php In the course of exploring the Peabody Essex Museum website, I found a link to the site of The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. When I clicked on the link, I was directed to a page containing The Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections Directory, which is a guide to collections located in Massachusetts libraries (public and private), archives, historical societies, and town clerk's offices. The directory provides "one-stop-shopping" access to information about the collections found in more than 650 repositories in Massachusetts. You can search for collections by town/location, institution, repository, special collections department, and collection description, as well as by name and/or subject. The results of a search by town will bring up a list of all repositories in that location. A search by name or by subject will result in a list of repositories throughout the state with relevant holdings. Click on the check box and then on the view button to access a summary of the holdings of a particular repository. In addition to the collection description, the directory also provides other useful information about the institution. You will also find contact information, a list of the services available, and levels of access to the collections, as well as directions to the repository. There are generally links to an institution's catalog and, in some cases, to finding aids for specific collections. Exploring the MBLC website further, I also found links to a number of digital collections around the state. The link to access the Digital Collections page is located on the drop down menu under the Find Books & Magazines Online tab. This is also were you will find the link to the Manuscripts, Archives & Special Collections link if you enter the MBLC site via the homepage. From there you can access the Watertown Free Public Library's Historic Map Collection, the Massachusetts State Library's Alexander Parris Project, and the SAILS' Community Treasury (Hanson, Middleborough, Rochester), among others. From the SAILS' Community Treasury page you can access the digital collections of a number of institutions. These collections include the Keeley Library - Fall River Local History Slides, the New Bedford Free Public Library Whaling Collection Archives, West Bridgewater - Post Card Collections, the historical collections of Hanson Public Library, Massachusetts; the Middleboro Cranberry Collection, and the Rochester Community-Wide Historic and Architectural Survey 1997-1998. These are useful resources for anyone pursuing historical research on a Massachusetts-related topic.

Hi some of you have been requesting the web address for the new Lurgan book, titled, OLD LURGAN LIFE 1901 to 1905. http://www.lurganancestry.net/oldlurganlife.html Some new records and old directories have also been added to the Lurgan Ancestry website www.lurganancestry.net and a new genealogical research service is now available also in the website at http://www.lurganancestry.net/researchdept/research.html many thanks and regards. Martin

Online - I have indices to Heads of Households - and for Laois, my home county, I have a bit more for Aghaboe. I'm listing other sites that I know of for other counties at the end of this mail, after what I have on my site 1821 - Counties Cavan and Louth I have whatever I have re this census. Antrim - Belfast selection of A streets, B streets and then some individual streets Also, some 1911 streets Cork City - two or three streets beginning with B County Fermanagh, most of the Enniskillen Electoral Dictrict, plus some other townlands Galway - not on line, but I am posting to the Galway list at the moment on some places County Laois - Aghaboe parish, some bits of indices for Bordwell, Donaghmore and Kyledellig Limerick - I've done some posting in the past to the Limerick list re someof what I have - to go on line soon Londonderry/Derry city Heads of Households from some streets in Templemore parish Louth - Drogheda town Mayo - townlands Sligo - town Over the next few months, I will be loading probably about 1,000 Heads of Household for each county fromn either the 1901 or 1911 census to my site - depending on county. For Roscommon, Clare, and probably Sligo, it will be 1911 Heads - the rest - 1901. Donegal - you'll find lots of 1901 transcriptions on Lindels Donegal site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegal I'm not too sure that Bob isn't also working on the Donegal 1901 census on his site - definitely Griffiths http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hiflyte/ Clare - the Clare county library has the 1901 census on line http://www.clarelibrary.ie/ Roscommon, Leitrim are on line at http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/1901census/ they also carry maybo one Galway parish - maybe some of Sligo or else that's on one of the rootsweb Sligo pages - plus, they have a good few places for Wexford tanscribed by an individual. The Leitrim Roscommon web site is the biggest one re 1901 census transcriptions. You have all the Moores from belfast, all the details, plus information on other families and surnames associated with them on Jean McCarthy's web site at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jeanmccarthy36/ You also have more on Cork at Jean Prendergast's site - sorry don't have a URL for that one - Jean is based in Cork and is part of (probably the person who began) the Cork Genealogical Society................personal apologies to Jean if she happens to read this mail - I shold know all of that off the top of my head Longford - I've got a fair notion that Christina Hunt is working away there and hosting it on on her Longford web site? Again, I don't have that URL to hand. There are rumours going about.................I've heard from more than one source - here in Ireland - that the National Archives will be bringing the 1911 census on line for free - then, I've heard that they wil be bringing the 1901 census on line - but then, from others, I've heard that the 1901 will not be brought on line, because it's condition is just too bad. I know for a fact that enumerator sheets are missing from every county that I have ever worked with. Enumerator sheets - the list that you will find before you get to the individual sheets returned by families - they're the ones that most of us work with. The enumerator sheet was made up/filled in by the person who was working in the area - the enumerator. The listed all the families living in whchever are that they were covering on one sheet of paper. That sheet, or the sheets that cover that street, area in a parish - they are all to be found in front of the individual sheets on the films or on the originals. So, Belfast is the worst place I can think of as regards missing enumerator sheets - then again, I've not worked anywhere else like I have Belfast. For every other county that I have worked with, given my experience with Belfast, I always check to make sure that I'm not missing a name..................there are enumerator sheets missing all over the place, for every county I have worked with. Belfast, still remains the worst - which is why I decided that I would index it. You asked the question Sharon - have you gotten this far in my reply? :-) The thing is that there is one major 1901 census indexing project and that project does include all information on the people living in those areas in 1901. That project takes in all of counties Roscommon and Leitrim - it takes in parts of Co. Wexford and as I say one parish in Galway - or, one parish last time I looked. As far as I know, that project carries no links to any other places that you will find bits and pieces of the 1901 census such as my Aghaboe pages, or Jean McCarthy's major Belfast pronect (even if she concentrated on people with her surname) - or - whatever Jean Prendegast has on line - or the Sligo and Longford projects. The various details given on any project go from just the lists of Houehold Heads to individual family return sheets. In honesty - there's an awful lot of people out there. paying the money to copy sheets and banging their fingers off in order to try and bring 1901 census information on line. There you go - and you know what - I've probably missed out on a whole of sites that do have 1901 census information on them, what I am posting here - it's probably only the tip of the iceberg. If any person can think of a site that does have info on it, that I have not mentioned - then, please let me know...............if there is any web master subscribed to any list that I will send this email to - and who does have 1901 census information on their site - please tell me. The more sites that any 1901 census site is linked to - the more mail lists that it is mentioned on - well, then all the better for those who might find information pertaining to their families.

Good morning list, I'm not connected to this in any way but I thought it might be of great interest to those researching the MADIGAN surname & these doing historic research in Co. Limerick. Would someone please pass this on to the Co. Limerick mailing list! :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) Hi Dolores! Mike MADIGAN (SharecropperTrio) here in Newfoundland! Karen Thomas, the wonderful woman from Ohio who inspired me to write the song about Maggie MADIGAN who survived the Titanic, is seeking some funds to put a small grave marker on Maggie's "unmarked" grave in Calvary Cemetery, Woodside, Queens, NY. She has appealed to family and friends to help her do this. Also the web site TIS Titanic International Society has offered to pass the hat at their next gathering. I felt it only right that I extend the chance to any Madigans/friends to do the same. As I have mentioned before, Maggie MADIGAN is from the same town of Askeaton, Co. Limerick, as was our great grandfather John MADIGAN. I'm presently working on more "family connections" with Madigans in Ireland. (More on that at another time.) Ever since I wrote and published the song "Maggie MADIGAN-Titanic Survivor" as a bonus song on our 3rd cd "Home, Boys!", events and research into this Titanic survivor have been overwhelming. Just type the above words in GOOGLE and you'll see a lot of the information over the last two and a half years. But I admire Karen Thomas for her passion and quest to find out what happened to Maggie. Sad to say she now rests in that unmarked grave. The interesting "edited" story and Maggie Madigan's picture can be quickly read at: http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/item.php/4281.html If you can find time to send Karen a small donation/contribution of any amount, she would really appreciate it. The inscription on the grave stone/plaque will read: Margaret "Maggie" Madigan-Hart-O'Shea, August 11, 1890 - December 14, 1968, "In the Hearts of Strangers." Finally, I know we are all being asked each day of our lives for contributions to many causes, so let it just be understood that for Karen Thomas, she had a dream...a passion..to find out whatever happened to Maggie Madigan after she (Karen) visited the great Titanic exhibit in Cleveland, Ohio, touring in the USA. There she was given a replica entrance ticket to tour the exhibit which bore the name "Maggie Madigan, Third Class." Karen was amazed at the end of the exhibit to learn that Maggie was a survivor but was one of the few survivors who became lost in history these past 92 years. But now that she has been found, Karen would like to pay tribute to this remarkable Madigan by placing a small stone at her grave site. I admire Karen and anyone else who has great passion for anything. Light tomorrow with today! Karen Thomas' address is at: 925 Glenwood St. N.E. Warren, Ohio, USA 44483 and her e-mail is kasey153@aol.com Her phone number is: 330-372-6031 If anyone else I have sent this e-mail to is unfamiliar with the whole story, of course dropping into my web site at www.thesharecroppers.net will link you to the original story and facts and even allow you to hear the song before it was recorded on cd. At the time of the song, ironically I did NOT EVEN KNOW our great grandfather John Madigan (like Maggie) was from Askeaton Ireland also. Fascinating discoveries ahead I'm sure!! I feel we're connected to Maggie through those Madigans. Time will tell and I'll keep ya informed. So I hope a small donation is not too much to ask. A great Askeaton website (history, castles, etc.) can be found at: www.askeatonbynet.com Drop in..you'll love it! Cheers, blessings and thanks.... Mike Madigan in Newfoundland -da Rock!!! 8 Spruce St. Pasadena, NL Canada A0L 1K0 tel: 709-686-5427 Please forward to friends...t'anks again! God luv ya!

I found this great website that can be helpful in getting a rough idea of the distance between two towns within the US. Go to HomeTownLocator.com and enter one town you're looking for. Then look at the list of links at the bottom of your town page and click on "How far is it from (the town and state you chose) to...?" then fill in the town and state for the comparison. It will give you "as the crow flies' air miles, not driving miles" distances between the two. I had ancestors that lived in two different counties in upstate New York and I was curious how close the two towns were. They turned out to be very close and it helped me to answer some questions about opposing information that I had. I thought this might be helpful and interesting to some of you. ~Patsy~

My father was a McCloy who was born in Louisiana in 1916/17 and his father was a McCloy born in Louisiana around 1892 but his father was Samuel Wilson McCloy who was born in Ireland and settled in Big Sandy area around East Baton Rouge, LA. Samuel married twice having two sons by his first wife who then died and then having four or more children by his second wife before his death. They lived around the Morgan City, LA area as well but the name of the city was probably Brashear back then. I know they came from County Derry but I can't find who Samuel's parents or siblings where to locate them. Frederick McCloy Sr. married Annie Belle Henson (I believe the name was Hanson originally but was changed to Henson later) in 1914 in Plaquemine, LA and they had two sons before her untimely death in 1918 from the great flu epidemic. Her mother was Annie Gillen (Gillan) Henson who also used the name Poston (Charles Louis Poston was her husband at one time), the name Stacker (I don't know where this came from and she used other names). I believe she was from Muncie, IN, Mississippi or another state before ending up in Plaquemine, Louisiana. Finding her family has been really hard because no one knew much about her except what she wrote down on their marriage licenses, etc. and she was a midwife and loved to fish. The date of her birth is believed to be 8/8/1872 and she died in Plaquemine 2/2/1935. Does any of these names sound familiar to anyone? Please let me know if they do. I have been researching them for over 30 years and it took me 30 just to find out Annie's name and where they were buried. Any help you can give, will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Another researcher pointed me to this old post. My husband is a descendant of William Bailey Hogan. I have a 1955 letter from a daughter of William Bailey HOGAN in which she named his sisters and brothers, all born in Ireland: Catherine, b. abt 1834; George, b. abt 1838, m. Mary McCrary, moved to Saginaw, MI; Joseph, b. abt 1839; Jeremiah "Jerry", b. abt 1840; Benjamin, b. abt 1841, moved to Saginaw, MI; Susannah, b. abt 1842; James, b. abt 1846, d. abt 5 May 1864, Battle of the Wilderness; Samuel, b. abt 1848; John, b. abt 1850. I found this family in Albany on the 1860 and 1870 censuses, Susan[nah} Hogan, b. abt 1810 Ireland, head of household, apparently widowed before 1860. The older sons were saw makers by trade. I've recently found Jane FINNEGAN's parents and siblings. I would really like to hear from anyone researching these families. Regards, Joanna Ashmun

Mitchell in his 1996 edition of 'A New Genealogical Atlas of Ireland' lists 36 civil parishes in county Cavan. Samuel Lewis in his 1837 'Topographical Dictionary of Ireland names 39+ civil parishes in County Cavan. Some of those parishes were united with others post 1837 The Church of Ireland parish tends to be the same as the civil parish, whilst the Roman Catholic parish may not cover the same townlands, may not have the same name....... Lewis names the Roman Catholic parishes associated with each civil parish - this is one of the most important aspects to Lewis - he can point us to records that we may not know of or think of as possibly having records for the parish we are not able to find records for. I have transcribed 38 of the parishes as described by Lewis - Tomregan is the only one listed in Mitchell that I have not done yet. Whether there are more parishes according to Lewis or not, I don't know, but if there are then they too will be transcribed - in time. For the moment all descriptions for each civil parish as per Lewis have been loaded to the From Ireland web site http://www.from-ireland.net/lewis/cav/cavanindexlewis.htm Names are spelled as per Lewis - these spellings sometimes do not agree with the way they are today. Some parishes have more than one name, in which case, I have put only the first name on the Lewis Index page - the names of Roman Catholic parishes associated with the civil parishes will be found on the individual parish description pages. Pages are cross referenced in some instances - when I have another page on line that is applicable to that parish e.g. links from a parish back to the appropriate page for Civil Registration Birth marriage or death references. Roman Catholic parishes do not and did not necessarily carry the same name as the civil parish - if you can't find the parish name that you are looking for, then please make sure to check out the Diocescan/Parish lists on the Cavan page. Again, names are spelled as in the R.C. directory for 1836 - and, with these, if you still can't find the name of teh parish you are intersted in, then, note the name of the closest 'post-town'. Find out what civil parish that was in and work your way from whatever Lewis says about the R.C. parishes for that civil parish. You will find a listing of the Civil Registration Districts on the County Cavan page on the From Ireland web site (my web site). Some of the districts cover townlands in more than one county http://www.from-ireland.net/contents/cavancont.htm There are birth, marriage and death references from the Irish Civil Registers for each district. All civil registration pages have been updated over the last few months - I've only noted the civil parishes that are covered by any district on the pages that I have worked on this month. The civil registration districts are also important as regards searching the Irish census records. The 1931 Trades directories for Cavan town, Belturbet and Cootehill are also linked from the Cavan County page - as are other 'Name lists/Databases. Regards, Jane http:www.from-ireland.net

Hi fellow researchers, The Lurgan Ancestry website is now online. It is a free site containing more than 500 pages of records of Lurgan, Ireland from 1755 right through to 1959 that can be easily checked with the site search engine. The site also has information on the churches of the area and a timeline of events occurring over the centuries. The site can be accessed by going to www.lurganancestry.net Regards, Martin.
