Hello Peggy, I recall your research of your forebear George Knipe from Unagh, Cookstown and hope you have managed to fill in some gaps or perhaps have had some great successes; hopefully from data contained in my files submitted to Jim McKane? I trust this is the case. Thank you for your kind comments and am delighted to hear that you read my files. I have no way of learning if my transcribed submissions sent to Jim McKane at CTI http://www.cotyroneireland.com/ are interesting or relevant unless I hear from successful researchers. My contributions are offered on a 100 percent voluntary basis.
Hoping you are keeping well and all good wishes, Len Swindley Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 ________________________________ From: MPGish <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 28, 2018 9:23:33 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: reply to Len's transcribing comment! Len. I was concerned about your comment "but my decade-long project of transcribing every parish in Co. Tyrone has brought zero response" and wondered if you feel people aren't viewing your transcription work, or ?? I don't want you to think your work isn't valued! Whenever I get a notice about your transcriptions if they're in my people's areas, I have a look! I have found much useful info. How do you measure the 'response' to your transcriptions, as I don't think you'd know that I was viewing them? Thanks, and please keep up your work! Peggy, Canada. (Grandfather Dr. George W.

Tyrone has brought zero response and I have often wondered the value of continuing with the project. Some parishes have two surviving books and both warrant transcribing: tithe payers may be recorded in c1825 but gone (generally emigrated) by the late 1830s. The possibly easiest method to locate the origins of emigrant forebears is to refer to Griffiths Valuation (c1860) http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/ for any concentration of the names/s you are researching and then refer to the relevant tithe applotment books. Am not sure if it will be possible to create an index from my files (formatted in Word), but will be considered. To date, the number of pages compiled amounts to 1,504, and the number of entries recording the names of tithe payers amounts to in excess of 35,000. And the transcribing continues. It is a major project and is not being undertaken in any other county in Northern Ireland. These are VERY important records.
