Re: [FER-GOLD] Re: Irish records at Ancestry.com

by Bonnie Anderson

Do most of you know about the Irish records available through ancestry.com. Some go back to the 1500's. Thrift's Genealogical Abstracts are indexed under Irish Records Index and provide the microfilm and item number. Many Church of Latter Day Saints FHL provide access to Ancestry.com at minimal cost. In the notes from FHL it says Gertrude Thrift, a genealogist, extracted information from wills, parish registers, censuses, histories and other documents. Her collection of extracted probate records is especially valuable since nearly all original records were burned in the 1922 fire at the Four Courts. Unfortunately, it does not include everyone living at the time.

Re: [FER-GOLD] genealogies

Firstly I apologise for even writing this email, because it doesn't really belong here. I love keeping across the discussions on this list as I don't have time to do any research myself at the moment - BUT please, no matter what president you mention, or even if you mention little Johnny Howard, or Tony Blair - THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR IT! There must be a million other lists dedicated to the woeful state of international politics. This one is for our lovely family of Irish linked genealogists. I'm sorry to add even my little bit to this out of place discussion, but you have just about overloaded my Inbox, and this is not stuff I want to read about here.

BIRNEY info?

by Ken Birney

Hello List, and Brian in particular. You seem to have a vast knowledge of local name origins. I would be pleased to hear your comments on the origins (in Ireland) of the BIRNEY name. My information has them in Fermanagh and Tyrone about 1640 or so, from Scotland. This is a we bit late for the original planters, but what brought them there and when, I do not know. I have been trying to figure out where they started, Tyrone or Fermanagh? Looking forward to your reply, and thank you so much for all the time you have given this list lately. Ken Birney -- http://www3.sympatico.ca/ken.birney -The original and largest BIRNEY GENEALOGY site, updated regularly. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nirfer/ -Fermanagh GenWeb.

Re: Keon/Keown and Genealogies

by Mulcahy Rosemary J Civ WRALC/MASSB

Brian, Would it be correct to pronounce Eoghan phonetically like 'Owen'? Thank you very much for the time and effort you have gone to for me. Rosemary Rosemary, Keon/Keown are anglicisations of Mac Eoghan, a name which is widesread across ulster where Eoghan was amongst the most popular first names. Indeed I named my own son Eoghan! They are not in the genealogies, however. sorry about that.

Researcher for PRONI Lookups

by List user

Does anyone know of a researcher who can do lookups at PRONI?? I can request certain records that I have the "specifics" for, but I'd also like the opportunity to "browse" other possibly related records and make copies of those that might relate to my family. Thanks much!

Re: Fermanagh messages

by Bud Flanagan

All messages posted to any rootsweb site, such as Fermanagh or Fermanagh-Gold are placed in the archives. If you want to seach the Archives for a particular name from county Fermanagh, you will have to read each and every messgae posted to find the surname you are researching, if that Surname is not in the "SUBJECT" heading of your message. EXAMPLE: You receive a message from Fermanagh-Rootsweb, from a person willing to do look-ups. His name and address are part of the message, you have to look for it. If you reply to Fermanagh-Rootsweb, with your request, it will be posted in the archives. If you look in the Archives, you will find your request, but not the answer. If you search the Archives , you will also find a lot of messages with "Thank you so and so", or "I did not know that", of someone looking for a particular name will post their request to Fermanagh-Gold instead of the person doing the look-up, plus all the political, jokes, humor, etc, posted to the Rootsweb system instead of to and individual. Many years ago, persons who subscribed to Rootsweb were asked for donations to build up storage facilities to store information for all who used the site. I donated and I hate to see that facility wasted on un-necessary messages. Ii appreciate you imput and I thank you for your time.

On the web: Fermanagh Genealogies

by Michelle O'Neil

Hi all, Wanted to let folks know that there is a wonderful website (for the Macguire Clan) that has the Geinealaighe Fearmanach (Fermanagh Genealogies). http://twoirishsurnames.net/enter/maguire/gf1.shtml. Please realize that most of the information is in Gaelic but if you are familiar with the earlier names of your family - go for it. A place to find various spellings of your last names is http://www.goireland.com/genealogy/html/surname_search.htm Perhaps others have better places to find the old spellings. Also please don't bother the webmaster of the site as he was sweet enough to list it. So if you are able & willing to research and translate a bit - the website is a gold mine. And as the kind Brian quoted in previous email "You will find the genealogies in Analecta Hibernica No. 3 - September, 1931. They are written in Gaelic and although it isn't difficult to follow, it's use for modern (i.e. post Ulster Plantation) genealogical research would be very limited, unless you have a clear link back to one of the major lines covered in the genealogies. Analecta Hibernica was produced by the Irish Manuscripts Commission from the late 1920s and is a fabulous journal if you can get your hands on it. " Hope this is helpful. Take care, Michelle

Suggestion

by List user

Several people have complained about the number of emails on the list. May I suggest: o If you are just saying "thanks" to someone, you send that message to the person and not to the list. o When you copy a message, DELETE the parts of the message that don't pertain! We don't need to read the entire conversation or the entire Digest over and over and over and over. Thanks, Janet Cassidy

Relying to Messages

by Bud Flanagan

1. Everyone knows how to file information, we do it alphabetically or numerically. 2. Of over 200 messages received in last week, most would be filed under "Fermanagh Genealogies" as this was the subject heading of all these messages. 3. Can someone tell me how to file these, when the content of all thse messages was a request for a partricular surname. PLEASE. WHEN REPLYING, use the address of the sender NOT the "Fermanagh-Rootsweb site " THERE are a few of us that submit useful information that helps a majority of subscribers from time to time, THOSE who do not take the time to send a reply to the individual clog up our files and make it harder to help the majority. Please direst all replies to Liam(a)cox.net, . and not the Fermanagh site. I will politely discuss how to do it right.
