Hi!
I was told that my grandmother, Mary Reilly O'Neill, corresponded with her
cousin Kate Shaw who lived in Longford. This correspondence could have taken
place up to the late 1930s. My grandmother passed away in 1940.
Does this name ring a bell for anyone? Any ideas on how I can try to find
out more about Kate Shaw? It may be possible she lived in Drumlish.
Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what the distance is between Ballinalee and Drumlish? I
was told my Reilly family was from Drumlish but records from the 1830s
indicate it might be Ballinalee. Thanks!

I agree totally

I wanted to respond to your request also. I have been a member of the list
for sometime now and I am one of those who answers to the list. I won't do
it any more, but will let you know that by reading reponses to others has
helped me actually pinpoint relatives; without this communication others will
miss vital pieces of the puzzle. To Bad.

well someone asked about something like mulchadey or something
someone else answered . i even complained about all the posts.
but all the answers that were sent, i believe went to the archives . thus 10
years from now when someone else researches that and maybe we arent here
anymore . that material will be in the archives
so maybe discussions on whats found is important
i dont mean thank yous
jim
this would be a thank you and the archives could miss it

AMY,
You are very welcome. I did not grow up in Boston, but I did go take
pictures of the house my mother lived in as a child. It is at the corner
of Webster & Broadway. My mother was born 1910 & went to St. Rose's, still
alive give me some names, she still remembers who lived close to her.
Good luck, Joanne

Great Gran settled there in 1907 with her 5 daughters. They then moved to
Springfield & later Medford. Apart from their names, I have little else on
them. Any chance of you helping me out ?

Hello,
I wanted to thank those of you who wrote to express your thoughts about list
setup.
Everyone was very positive and I had no requests to change the way the list is
now.
A couple of comments were made which I will pass on. One was just agreement
that having correspondence move off list when it has become a situation where
you are talking to just one other person about a family in common. At this
point it is not likely to benefit the rest of the list so unless you are
discussing methodology it would be good to begin a private correspondence.
The other comment regarded replying and leaving the whole message you are
replying to intact. We all get lazy and do this but it does take up a lot of
space in mail boxes. Sometimes a message is so long my email program seems to
take forever to pull it up for a reply. So, when you hit "reply" before you do
anything else, please edit the message down to a few lines. Just enough to give
the idea as to what part you are responding to. List members will be grateful
and so will Rootsweb who stores all these in the archives!
Thanks to all of you for your input.
Regards,
Christina

Michael,
That is wonderful news!
I just added some on the Tipperary site I which I also admin.
http://www.rootsweb.com/~irltip2/tabndx.htm
I used some that were posted on a list, a lady sent me a scan of a townland
that looked to have been in a printed format. The one for Ballingarry is one I
transcribed. put or imported them all to Excel and then copied as tables to
the webpage. I had a bit of a problem with Excel wanting to change the Acreage
information and make it into dates but have figured out how to make it stop
that.
If you want to transcribe them yourself just put the name (I like last name,
first name) then a semicolon or other mark you are not using elsewhere on the
page. I can then import the information into a spreadsheet. Example:
Kelly, John; 10-2-0; (for Acres, Rods and Perches) You can add the value but I
think the size of the land gives the idea.
Does this make sense?
Regards,
Christina

Hi there,
I am hoping to be able to add some Tithe Applotments to the County Longford
(IGP) website. I have not yet ordered anything so it would be a big help if
anyone has a parish or townland they have copied, transcribed or on
permanent
loan at your local FHC, if you would help us to get them on the list. If you
have any but do not have time to transcribe them - just send scans or

We will get them transcribed.
