Hi Listers, For those with Irish/Roman Catholic ancestors in Liverpool, the Liverpool Record Office have microfilm copies of the Registers for 33 RC churches. These were filmed in 1941, due to worries about them being lost in the event of bomb damage during air raids. So you can view Baptism, Marriage, Conformation and Death registers in most cases up to 1941. The original registers may still in the hands of the Parish Priests. For a full list, go to URL: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hibernia/rcrom.htm Regards, Patrick in Liverpool ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

For those of you who have questions about Griffith's Valuation (and who doesn't), you should know about a new book "Richard Griffith and His Valuations of Ireland" by James R. Reilly. It should really be called "Everything you always wanted to know about Griffith's Valuations but didn't even know enough to ask. The subtitle is "with An Inventory of the Books of the General Valuation of Ratable Property in Ireland." No one who is attempting to use Griffith's Valuation should be with this book. It's published by Clearfield co., 200 East Eager St., Baltimore, Md. 21202 or you can order online by going to the following website. It sells for only $21.95 plus shipping. <A HREF="http://www.genealogybookshop.com/genealogybookshop/files/The_World,Irela nd_Irish/9371.html">Click here: GenealogyBookShop.com: Richard Griffith and His Valuations of Ireland</A>

Back in the 1730s, one of my wife's ancestors was widowed. She was Charity Colquhoun, who was married to Adam Lynn, who was murdered on his property in Portraine. She had five children, and married a man named Brown, who moved the family to Fethard because of his appointment as "Commander of the King's Barge." Is there any record of Captain Brown, such as his full name, his dates, etc.? The title of his position is enough to get my curiosity going. Surely, out of the Wexford rootsweb, you can cure a little of my ignorance. Thanks for the help. Dick Holmes

Hi Lester, the term free burgess is really redundant. Burgess means a free man. I don't believe that it was an "office" but a status of a man. A freeman had the right to vote for the members of the Irish parliament and may have had other privileges including the right to "own" land rather than lease. When I have a minute I will try to find out more about the rights and privileges if I can, but I think that will give you a direction.

I know Patrick's family was from Wexford & that he married Annie - I believe before they emigrated to the US. They were living in Boston, MA at the time of their daughter Mary Frances' birth in 1905. I do know they had 3 other children. I don't know if the other 3 children were born in Ireland or the US. I'm guessing that Patrick & Annie were married sometime between 1895-1904. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello! I have been reading some Irish history, and I keep running across the term "justicar" as a title. Could someone explain to me a little more precisely what a Justicar did? Also, I am seeing the term "Earl Marshal" which seems to be a title that carried some sort of responsibility with it. Is there somewhere on-line that would give me a definition of these and other similar titles? It would make the understanding of the material that I am reading much easier. To be specific, I am reading about the Norman Era in regard to activity in County Wexford, and in Old Ross in particular, in the twelfth century.
