1. Ireland - England = Great Britain : Records [1]
To be continued............ Records for Ireland People always comment on how there are so few records remaining for Ireland because of the fire in the Four Courts in 1922. Yes, many records were lost at that time and it was terrible - but there was an awful lot of material which wasn't stored in the Four Courts. People on the newsgroups are always wondering why their families moved from Ireland to England, they wonder about how the famine was the main cause of movement out of Ireland. Well, it was and
2. irish Books [1]
I was trying to find out recently what it's like in bookshops in the States re finding Irish books......I mean here, if I go into a bookshop - we have tons of them, all over the place - shelves and shelves of them, covering everything, fact to fiction. *But* if i was to look for a'specialised' book on another country - then it'd be a different kettle of fish - i might be lucky and it might be a best seller and sitting there - I might have to wander through a sozen bookshops looking for it - or, I might hv
3. Re: IRL-LAOIS-D Digest V99 #32 [1]
Hi Jane, Thank you for the book lists you are putting on line. It is so hard to find good Irish books here. The best library I found for Irish books was at the Mormon Library in Salt Lake City. It was very good but they do not do interlibrary loan or anything. You have to go to Salt Lake City to view them. They had them separated by Irish counties and then the general ones. But thanks for your lists maybe I'll find one to help me locate my Laois DUNNEs. Never did find the Dunlaoighre group on

Dear Jane, You did it again. Thank you for all the information on Irish names. This would have really helped me years ago when searching for my GGM named "Nora" didn't know at the time it was really "Hannora". I am a member of "ISTG". We are a group of people who are transcibing the immigrant passenger lists and putting them on the net for all to reference. I would like to send a copy of your "Christian Irish Names" to our list as a guide for our transcription. I'd appreciate it if you let me
14. A note....... [1]
My apologies to anyone on a few of the lists I have sent some of the Dioscescan info to today...for the multiple posts you are receiving and the length of them. It was always my original intention to try and sort out each county so to speak - the parishes associated with that county from each Diocese........ but I never got round to it..... because while I am familiar with the geography of a lot of places - I amn't with everywhere and it was just too much to have to go tracking down those places that I d

16. SHELLY SURNAME [1]
Hello Laois Listers, My gg/grandmother Margaret SHELLY was born in 1799 in Aghaboe Parish, County Laois. She lived in Barna townland and was married to John Farrell. She eventually emigrated along with her 4 children to Baltimore,Maryland,USA, ca.1855 She died in Baltimore in 1869. Does anyone know if the SHELLY surname was a common one in the Borris- in-Ossory/Aghaboe area during the early 1800's? Tom Farrell

Most people seem to like the fact that I'm doing this - so I'll continue. For some - they say it didn't come through - I've not put it as an attachment onto my mail but pasted it into the body of the mail. I know that the lines are breaking up and that some bits of the reference are being highlighted by my IE5....I think the highlighting doesn't go thru to everyone as it may be something to do with the qualities of IE5 and the fact that URL's come up highlighted.

The following is from a book I have. It may be a bit difficult for you to follow - but persevere :-) if you want to. People are always looking for info onthis parish or that parish for all over Ireland. Various genealogical guides list records whcih still exist for this place or that place -. People look for records of Civil Parishes - it is said that Civil parishes equate to COI parishes - that's not absolutely so from what i read - but - another topic. So - people are sent to various sites to check o

23. Set dancing - genealogical and not :-) [1]
Talking to my sister last night - she's big into set dancing. It's something which has seen a huge revival in Ireland... I never knew the differences in all those dances we learned as children, all those steps......but they were fun. Anyhow.....it seems that different parts of the country stick with their own kinds, I can't remember the various locations for wach one. The reel type - they're usually from Co. Clare; Polka's - they spread from Cork, thru Wexford, up the country...you don't dance a polka i
24. Christian Names in Ireland [1]
Baptisms and marriages were recorded in either Latin or English. Never in Irish. Generally where English was more common English was used and Latin was in Irish speaking parishes.
