1. [NIR-ARMAGH-L] ORMSBY BLOW [1]
I have been looking for the Blow family in County Armagh for years. My 2nd great-grandmother Eliza Blow was said to have come from Markethill (likely parish of Mullaghbrack) in County Armagh. Eliza was the daughter of William & Mary (?) Blow. Ancestry's Irish Vital Records show a marriage for a Margaret Blow who married Anthony Ormsby 16 December 1806 in Mullaghbrack, County Armagh. The Source is Parish Registers of Mullaghbrack, Diocese of Armagh, County Armagh. Eliza Blow also had a younger brother n

4. [NIR-ARMAGH-L] Vernor's bridge [1]
I am looking for information on the family of Colonel Verner (Vernor) of Verner's Bridge in County Armagh. It may have had something to do with the "Scotchman of Creggan" and the name MacMahon and being 'planted there by the ruling King'. His son, George, went to South Carolina, married a Donaldson, and had a large plantation at Alhambra Creek, Burke County in the Province of Georgie. Colonel Vernor also had daughters; Alice and Jane (who died unmarried), and when he died owned a lot of property. One

I'm sorry listers, I have been having a problem again getting my mail. It started last night and seems to be continuing. I'm getting some, but not near as much as I should be getting. If I have failed to respond to anything sent that pertains to me, please re-send it again if you can and I will do what I can to catch up. Otherwise, just know that I miss everybody! It's too quiet here. Launie -- Launie Reid Graffeo *********************************** Mommy first, Genealogy second! : ) *************
6. Re: [NIR-ARMAGH-L] Geography/Ternaneill [1]
Dear Maureen, The mormon church in the nearest town or city has a family history library. They usually have computers with CDROM drives and microfilm readers. They have various indices to their holdings which constitute the largest genealogical collection in the world. For a nominal cost they will send copies of their microfilm documents to the local church to be searched and returned. Sometimes they will have a microfilm or microfiche reader/printer to make copies of documents. You can get access

8. [NIR-ARMAGH] Cull and Hughes, also Calvert and Livingstone [1]
I am new to the Northern Island/Down list, as I am just about to start work on my mother's family having come to a temporary (!)dead end on my father's family in Scotland. My mother's parents were James CULL and Margaret HUGHES. James was born about 1857, his father was also James Cull, a farmer, probably from Lurgan. Margaret Hughes was born in 1862 in Ballynagarrick, daughter of Thomas Hughes (also a farmer) and Mary Jane CALVERT. Many of the Hughes were buried in Knocknamuckley, and James Cull and Ma

http://www.teldir.com A useful site - telephone directories worldwide. I used the German sites UK sites, put in the surname (not a common one I might add) of my ancestor and where he was born. Up came a list of people with that surname living in the area today as well as their address and phone number. Probably not so useful with very common surnames. http://www.multimap.com a great site for finding places associated with your family in the United Kingdom - a beta version for world maps is available but

15. Re: [NIR-ARMAGH-L] BELL & DOWEY FAMILY -Lurgan [1]
Sharon, I have an Ann BELL who m.mid 1860s to James GRANT, resided in Lattery, Armagh. James started out as Ch. of Ireland but is listed in the the 1901 Census as... you guessed it, Methodist - so maybe because of his wife's family. Ann was the dau of Mathew BELL. My line is descended from James' sister, Johanna GRANT. James, son of Isaac GRANT & Mary HEARN, was a school master so he & Ann lived in a couple of other places in Armagh as well.

Hi Launie, I had the same feeling and question!! It does seem like the usual Armagh list traffic has fallen through the cracks somewhere. I was wondering athe same thing. I read where WorldCom had a problem and it took them about 10 days to get back in business. AOL was affected also. Lots of small ISPs may go out of business.

20. [NIR-ARMAGH-L] LOONEY [1]
Re the name LOONEY: Try checking out the Isle of man Genealogy page as there were many, many families by the name of Looney that migrated from the Isle of Man to the USA. The IOM and Northern Ireland are only a stone's throw from each other and you may find a family connection. I always understood the name LOONEY was from the Isle of Man - but it may also have been in N. Ireland too. Happy digging, Glenda
21. [NIR-ARMAGH] Re: Cull and Hughes, also Calvert and Livingstone [1]
Many thanks for the several replies I had to my posting. Dave Macaulay told me of the useful index at http://www.ireland.com/ancestor/placename/index.cfm which locates Civil parishes and Poor Law unions, but is there also an index somewhere that shows civil parishes and the townlands and church parishes within them? (I am finding Northern Ireland quite difficult after Scotland, which is well documented and indexed - but I think everyone does!). Sheena Carmichael

Dear Ann Loney, I know that my ancestors spelled the surname Looney and came to the state of Michigan, to Jackson Co. The parents and children came about 1836 but from what county of Ireland, I do not know. Many of these are buried in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Chelsea, Michigan, a town west of Ann Arbor. I am told by some that they were from Tipperary. My GG grandmother, Bridget Looney, a child of this famiily, first married John Donahue, in 1838; he died after they had five chidren. Four yea
