1. Re: [IRELAND] IGI Batch numbers [1]
Thanks so much Gloria for giving an indepth answer to my question. Still have more, however. >The batch number is a guide to what filming batch when it was done. The dates are the dates that the film covers per records (this batch refers to marriages). So, using the website I posted, where batch numbers are listed by county, once I have the batch number how would I know what film to order? (BTW, they are $4 at the Sacramento FHC) Why would someone take the time to list all these batch numbers when w
2. [IRELAND] "Donkeys" by Edward FIELD (b. 1924 NYC) [1]
DONKEYS They are not silent like work-horses Who are happy or indifferent about the plow and wagon; Donkey's don't submit like that For they are sensitive And cry continually under their burdens; Yes, they are animals of sensibility Even if they aren't intelligent enough To count money or discuss religion. Laugh if you will when they hee-haw But know that they are crying When they make that noise that sounds like something Between a squawking water-pump and a fog-horn. And when I hear them sobbing I sudd
3. [IRELAND] "A Reformer To His Father" -- James SIMMONS (b. 1933) [1]
For Father's Day -- A REFORMER TO HIS FATHER We shared not one idea in thirty years Of occasional bicker and chat. One night of loud Useless argument, unique and useless tears Of mine surprised us. We paused, astute and proud, Unreconciled. I think I had stopped hearing Your words, and heard around me the rest, Unknown, remote and thought I was comparing The sound of your worse with their best. Subservient to love I bent my head Stiffly. You laughed; nervous, elated, and laid Nicotined fingers light

Jean, I think EVERYBODY here got the wrong idea of what I was saying. I TOO enjoy your posts, and I am not in ANYWAY trying to discourage you from posting what you feel people might enjoy. That wasn't the point of my message AT ALL. I was only trying to point out that it seems a little redundant (and terribly time consuming for the reader) to put the same message on multiple lists, when people here generally subscribe to multiple lists. I would think that anybody who has an interest in Ireland (whether h

The Big Wind was the night of Sunday the 6th of January 1839 - Twelfth Night. "On this night, Ireland was hit by what was possibly the most cataclysmic storm to strike the country in the last six hundred years. It killed, maimed and ruined, threatening 'to sweep every obstacle before it from the surface of the earth.'" (From 'The Night of the Big Wind' by Peter Carr. Peter has researched newspaper reports from all over the country and put them together in this book. Somewhere on the Net I also found a desc

7. [IRELAND] Kansas City 1901: The Cathedral School Commercials Baseball Team [1]
SNIPPET: For the poor boys growing up in the tiny houses and tenements around Kansas City's packinghouse district, career prospects were slim. In 1901, the help wanted ads of the newspapers Journal, World and Star listed vague "opportunities for hustlers," and positions for butchers, and boilermakers at 30 cents an hour. So in order for the sons and grandsons of Irish and other immigrants to escape the rail yards, foundries and packing plants, they had to be trained in the arts of commerce. In 1889, th

While in Limerick and looking at John's Castle and the Hunt Museum, a must stop is the Gaelic bookstore across the street from the museum and hopefully the downstairs will be open (lots of out-of-print books) when you drop in but the main floor is terrific too.

A REFUSAL TO MOURN He lived in a small farm-house At the edge of a new estate. The trim gardens crept To his door, and car engines Woke him before dawn On dark winter mornings. All day there was silence In the bright house. The clock Ticked on the kitchen shelf, Cinders moved in the grate, And a warm briar gurgled When the old man talked to himself; But the door-bell seldom rang After the milkman went, And if a shirt-hanger Knocked in an open wardrobe That was a strange event To be pondered on for hou
14. Re: [IRELAND] Patterson [1]
I have for one Patterson's in the family and no idea if they are Irish or Scottish. According to MacLysaght's The Surnames of Ireland, Patterson is English and found in Ulster. I guess the only way you could find whether yours came for Ireland or Scotland is through genealogy research. Starting from your most recent, working you way backward collecting vital statistics. I would guess those that go back to Ireland if you can keep going backward, will lead you to Scotland or England. -- Pat Connor

Hi, I don't know if it is, I assume so, a telephone call to your local one would tell you. I know that Ancestry.com has it but it apparently is accessed via a subscription (which I have managed to avoid, to this point, mostly due to fixed income but partly because I encourage free genealogy to all) although I am weakening....

I am a volunteer at the local multi-stake Family History Center in San Diego. I am not Mormon. The ratio of Mormon to non-Mormon visitors is 15% to 85% and the staff reflects about the same ratio although they are getting more Mormons to volunteer. Some are called to serve in administrative positions, not necessarily as genealogists.

BIO: Kate Murphy was just one of thousands of visitors to attend the 1897 Irish Fair at the Grand Central Palace in Manhattan. For several weeks people from all over the metropolitan region had come to see the handsome displays that the Irish societies had assembled in an attempt to present in capsule form something of Ireland's rich cultural heritage. One exhibit in particular, though, seemed to attract most of the attention. Irish soil, directly imported from the old country, had been laid out in se
