Kevin, we may not connect using the Shannon's name but we might connect using your VanSchaick and Adams names. I have a VanSchaak from the Netherlands who moved to New Amsterdam in the 1600's. Pinkerton sounds familiar also.

Hillary, would it be possible to let everybody know--I imagine there are a lot on this site that would like that info of the Scot/Irish Shannons Thank you sooooo much, Beverly

Dear Kay I have some information about Shannons in south-west Scotland from about 1800. Some seem to have Irish connections but most seem to have been in Scotland for at least 2 or 3 generations. Let me know if you would like any more details about these, Hilary Kinnell

I have Shannon's who came from Scotland around 1740, and settled in MD, then PA. So far I've not seen any connection with the Shannon's listed here recently.

Gerard, Don't know if we have anything,but I have a John F. Rouch in my Shannon family. he is cousin to my Ida Shannon Hining b: 1859 OHIO. He is living with her and was born 1858 in Iowa. His father is listed as German and Mother is listed born OHIO. Your Roche name was just similar in spelling so I thought I'd throw this out there.

Hello Sue, I do not have any information on Shannon's who went to either Canada or America But my mother was the daughter of John Shannon and Catherine Keogh who came to Australia in 1862 from Cavan, Northern Ireland. There were many relations of John Shannon but even Though I have the names of both sets of their parents, I have never been able to find anyone In Ireland. Their religion was R.C. and I have found a brother Robert who came to Aust. also and married a Kate McGovern, whose parents also came from Ireland. Robert and Kate Shannon had two sons, Thomas and Robert and Thomas became a Member of Parliament and I have lots of information on him.

Found this on the web: Might be of use, might not. Jimmy Drying Wet Books and Papersvisitor submission from Doug Reade. About this weeks T.O.W. submission: Doug Reade is a hand bookbinder and disaster recovery expert, and owner of Reade Books Restoration, a full-service firm in Seattle, WA. They have constructed a freeze-drying unit of unique operation, and can handle over 100 books at a time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Books and papers that have gotten wet by fire, flood, broken pipe or what-have-you can be recovered. Recovered by the homeowner, without extensive training, and without expensive tools (such as the large-scale freeze-drying unit I've set up). It is time-intensive, and therefore not for the patience-challenged, nor a good idea if you have a whole lot of stuff, but if you've got one or two wet books, and the time to spare, you can get results just about as good as I can. The most important thing, upon which everything else hinges, is get the book frozen A.S.A.P.! Once the book dries out, the wrinkles and warping are set, and there's nothing anybody can do about it. But freeze it, and all damage stops. And the book can stay frozen, in stasis, until you're ready to handle it. Wrap the book in a U of wax or freezer paper, or in a plastic bag. It's best to freeze it at -15F or lower, so if you can get access to a commercial freezer space, it would be a good idea. If that's not available, a home freezer will do in a pinch, but the results won't be quite as good. If possible, freeze the book spine down, and supported so it won't lean or fall over. If you have to lay it on its side, make sure that the book is fully and flatly supported. If you have anything under it smaller than the book, the book can and will mold itself around that object. OK. You'll need a home freezer (once frozen commercially, the books can be stored in a home freezer without a problem), and a hair dryer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- The recovery process is fairly simple: Start with the cover. Open the cover (gently pry loose the inside page, if it's sticking). Run the air stream from the hair dryer (I'd recommend top settings on both heat and fan) over the cover, back and forth, top to bottom, and inside and out. When it feels dry and warm to the touch (not hot!) go on to the inside page. Same procedure. Smooth the page with your hand as you work. Work page to page this way. When the next page starts to feel wet to your fingers, stop. Stick in a piece of paper as a bookmark, and put the book back in the freezer. Take out the next book (if there's more than one) and start on it. Leave the first book in the freezer for at least a day. Covers may soak up more moisture than the pages, so you may have to do the cover several times. Just keep the book frozen, and work only so long as it's frozen, quitting when it starts to thaw. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Special Situations and problems There are a few circumstances (aren't there always) which are a little more problematic than the general procedure I outlined above. You may run into these: Art Books. Coffee table books. Books with a lot of pictures. This type of book relies on a particular type of clay-impregnated paper to print the sharp, clean colors of the pictures. The problem comes when this paper gets wet. The clay leeches to the surface of the paper, and if the book even begins to dry, the clay will bond to itself and form a solid, irrecoverable block out of the book. Therefore, it becomes even more imperative than usual that the book be frozen before it has a chance to dry. Once it's frozen, you can proceed as usual, although you will probably have to exercise some caution in turning the pages as you dry them. Have a sharp knife handy to open any edges that may have bonded. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Moldy books. The specific chemicals usually recommended for treating mold are expensive to get, difficult to handle, and downright nasty to be around (there's not one of them that's not carcinogenic). So let's avoid them. If the book is still wet and starting to mold, get some 99% isopropyl alcohol solution. It's usually available at most drug stores, although some states have an upper limit of 97%. That's fine, too. Put it in a spray bottle and spray the book down. Spray everywhere you see mold. Spray everywhere you think mold might be. It's already wet; it won't hurt to get it a little wetter. Then freeze it. (N.B. If you're freezing it in your home freezer, and you're keeping food in that home freezer, you'll definitely want to plastic bag the book. Probably several layers. Unless you like the taste of isopropyl alcohol.) Proceed as usual. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Dirty books. I don't mean that kind. I mean mud, silt, etc. In general, don't bother to clean the book off. Getting it frozen quickly is the most important thing. The dirt will usually brush off quite easily, once the book is dry. Thick mud, silt, and toxic chemicals, however, should be washed off before the book is frozen. Mud will hinder freezing, and silt will not clean off easily after drying. Mud and gunk on the cover can be washed off by holding the book closed, fore-edge down (that's the side from which the book is opened), and hosing it down gently with a stream of clean water. Freeze immediately. Silt or toxic chemicals on the pages, however, requires that the book be washed, and this can get tricky. The problem is that wet paper is surprisingly fragile, and great care has to be taken or you'll shred the book trying to save it. Immerse the book in a tub of clean water and gently riffle the pages. Do not scrub, do not apply any more pressure than you have to. The idea is just to rinse the pages. When done, do not press the book together to get excess water out. Just hold is gently by the spine until the water stops flowing out, then freeze sooner than immediately. (These books will take a LONG time to dry.) I don't recommend this procedure unless it's absolutely necessary, and even then you might consider whether or not your time and trouble aren't worth enough to just let the damn thing go and get a new copy. Your call. And that's it. You can do it yourself, if you've got the time and the determination. If you've got more than half-a-dozen books to do, though, I'd seriously recommend seeking out a professional. In the long term, hand-drying can be awfully mind-numbing! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- You can reach Doug Reade by email at readebks@wolfenet.com, by phone at (206)789-1142, or write to PO Box 17021, Seattle, WA 98107-0721. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- If you have an idea of your own for Tip o 'da Week, you can now submit a tip!

Greetings! I am researching my great-great-great grandparents, Richard O. SHANNON and Johannah SHANNON nee McCARTHY (McCARTY) and my great-great grandmother, Mary LONG nee SHANNON. Richard O. SHANNON (b. ca. 1804 in Ireland, d. 1880 or after in Mount Morris, Livingston County, NY, USA) married Johannah McCARTHY (b. ca. 1804 or 1808 in County Cork, Ireland, d.3 JAN 1895 in Geneseo, NY ). Richard and Johannah had six or seven children in Ireland and emigrated during the Famine. Six children definitely emigrated near the same time and were recorded in 1850 as living with them in Mount Morris, as follows: Mary (ca 1829-1887, m. LONG ca 1855), Robert (ca 1835 - 1871), Betsy (ca 1836 - ?), Richard Jr. (ca 1837-1875), Sarah (ca. 1828-?, m. MINNEHAN), and John (ca 1844-?). Other McCARTHY relatives of Johannah also appear to have immigrated to Mount Morris. Please let me know if you recognize this family! I am particularly interested in confirming whether or not Richard was also from County Cork, and what townland our SHANNON and McCARTHY ancestors are from. ----------------- Annamarie Hessman amar@eurynome.com

Melinda, Pensions for federal veterans were paid by the US government. Go to the first part of the website: http://www.state.tn.us/sos/statelib/ You should be able to find a listing of TN union vets if they have it online. Good luck, Joyce

Thanks! This is good stuff. I would also like to get a listing of Shannons from TN that served with the Federal Army.
