Well, that's another problem, Beth. Not all ARE on the headstone. In
fact, sometimes very few of them are on there...but they are down
there.

Hi, All-
I've found the same discrepancy in ages with my family, even as recently as
two generations back.
An example with my ggrandparents - My ggrandfather, Thomas Reed, was listed
as 33 in the 1855 NY State Census. In 1860, he's still 33! In 1875, he's
45. In 1880, he's 60.He died in 1887, and age was given as 68. My
ggrandmother, on the other hand, stayed consistent with her birth being in
1830, until hr death certificate -she died in Sept., 1910, and was listed as
being 74 yrs, 9 mo., which mak

Well, that's the only way at this time, Muriel - but it is something I'd not

For those of you who are searching for Irish to Canada, check this site out. It is interesting to read, even if you aren't successful in your particular search. Films not on line are available t
If this was the scenario wouldn't every entry have an x? I have seen superintendent registrars fill in the details.This is known as a "true copy" The details are given exactly as they are shown in the original.Usually the x is accompanied with "the mark of" __________ . I have entries back to 1732 and yes those that make their mark are illiterate.
I have come across some researchers who seem embarassed to find ancestors who are illiterate....... this was purely the times and nothing to be embarassed about.
Hello List,
Just want to jump in here and add my bit. In looking for my grandfather's grave, I had no success until I contacted the sexton of the cemetery in Kent, Ohio. Received a prompt reply with the information that Grandfather did not have a headstone but was buried in the family plot.

Well said, Kae!

And I believe often that the X was not because the person was
illiteratre but because they were literate in a different language. As
pointed out before many people had Irish as their only language not English,
and the English insisted that births be recorded in English.

Unfortunately many dial-up systems still take a long time to download pages
regardless if it is an attachment or not and many people don't have access
to broadband. My old system took twenty minutes for four pages and the
only way to cancel it was to contact the system management. Anything with a
picture could take thirty minutes or more. I think the only way to handle
this is to ask people to contact you if they wish to access the information
and it can be sent direct.

Hi Linda
A batch number found in the IGI is not a film number, although film is
mentioned is the extreme right hand corner of the entry you originally
located on the IGI which I've double checked. If a film number had been
given it usually says it's a Call Number, American terminology is rather
confusing I know. I rather suspect your entry could either be a restricted
film or is a LDS patron submission for Temple Ready work in which case
obtaining the film will be of no use to you whatsoever, as the entry

Yes, I asked the same question of the Admin. person at Co.Clare - but I
didn't get an answer - probably because she's still on holidays in Ireland.
You'll have to ask Mr. Billingsworth, The List Admin.
The recent changes that Rootsweb introduced , seems to have this about. My
positive thought was - Great! Rootsweb are now allowing attachments to be
sent to Lists - but I don't think so. Although it would be a good idea in
that we could send Scans of genealogical items, such as certificates of
B.D.M's.
I always understood the 'six feet under' was the depth of the entire dig.

Chris,
Just a reminder, look for family that immigrated much later and stayed with
your family after they arrived. Quite often the next generation of children,
nieces and nephews, came to stay with their aunts and uncles in the U.S.
They might have more detailed information. My great-grandmother immigrated
in 1880 with only Ireland indicated as place of birth on all papers.
Forty-three years later, her nephews immigrated. The nephews showed up in
the 1930 census about a block away and a check of the city
Ah, yes, the elusive birthdates! I can't find the dates in Ireland, either,
and thought I'd really hit the jackpot when I found the baptismal
certificates of some of my Dohertys in New Brunswick - one from Fredericton,
one from St. John. The family ran back and forth from NB to Boston, finally
settling in Boston about 1845.The one from Fredericton was naturalized in
Boston, Mass. in 1868. Thereafter in the census, he listed himself as having
been born in Massachusetts! There were five children that we
Another excellent book about the famine is "Paddy's Lament," by Thomas
Gallagher.
About the textbook conversation, it might also be productive to call various
textbook publishers--or probably more important, the authors of those
textbooks, whose names are on the books. In the U.S., they, or people
working under their name, have direct influence over what should be kept in
a textbook and what should be deleted. The authors have guidelines to follow
(influenced by school districts, with, I believe, the state

The Genealogical Office in Dublin has nothing to do with heraldry, clans or
chiefs. They are a genealogical research organization.
The Chief Heralds Office (which is an extra duty to the National Librarian in
Dublin) handles heraldry and up to 2001, Chiefs of Name. They do not
recognize Chiefs of Name at this time after they found one of six (MacCarthy
Mor) as a fraud which cast questions on the other five that were confirmed
between 1989-95. My chief's uncle was confirmed
