Katie,



Can I say thank you. 3 or 4 other folk on the board have also e-mailed me
privately to express similar sentiments. I am touched.



All I would say is that when I see a query that I think contains issues of
wider interest to other members of this board, I try to answer in a way
that will help them as well as the person who made the original enquiry.
So, for example, with the Morrison enquiry, the underlying issue was where
did my ancestors come from and when and how did they arrive in Ireland? I
doubt we will ever answer that specific enquiry fully, but there are
sources that suggest some probable answers.



I am not a genealogical expert. I am a retired civil servant with a
background in gathering and analyzing information. I do genealogy for fun
to keep my brain active. I live  near Belfast and do some research for
specific families but I haven’t done any academic genealogical research.
However I have been very lucky to have attended dozens of lectures by PRONI
experts and folk like Dr William Roulston (whose book on Researching
Scots-Irish ancestors no serious researcher in Tyrone should be without).  I
have had the privilege of working with him on various little projects and
have been able to pick his brains from time to time. I also rely heavily on
various academic books on Ulster in the 1600s and 1700s (which I usually
refer to in any response I give). Robinson’s Plantation of Ulster is one
example.



Many regular themes come up in posts on this board about how our ancestors
lived, what their lives were like, what they ate, what they wore, why they
came to Ireland (obviously not all are Plantation families but a huge
proportion of Tyrone families are), where they came from, why they left and
so on.  If your ancestor arrived in Ireland in the 1600s it will be rare to
answer that definitively – the records just don’t exist - but there are
many sources that give huge amounts of general information which I think
folk on this board might find interesting. So I feed it in, where I think
appropriate. Hope it works.

Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] CoTyroneIreland.com - New Content - Alexander McNutt (1725-1811): Army Officer & Colonial Developer

[Ron McCoy via CoTyroneList]

Thank you Len for adding the bio. of Alexander McNutt. As I am 
discovering many people from Tyrone who are early settlers to Canada and 
America initially made the trek with McNutt to Nova Scotia from Tyrone. 
The history of McNutt and these families is intertwined with names like 
Benjamin Franklin and General Mad Anthony Wayne. Hopefully a list of 
individuals and families who made that trip will be compiled at some 
point in the future. Thank you again for your biography of Alexander McNutt.


Cheers

Ron McCoy

[CoTyroneMailingList] Senior and Junior

[Robert Forrest via CoTyroneList]

A tip for those researching their family history:

Senior and Junior usually denotes father and son but not always -- sometimes 
junior can refer to a nephew:

An example of this I found recently in the Registry of Deeds

Book 350 page 435 memorial number 237290 registered 11 July 1783
A memorial of a deed poll dated 13 Jan 1783 between Robert Morrison senior of 
Drummore (Ballykelly, Co L'Derry) and Robert Morrison of Drummore junior his 
nephew.

Family tradition says that the Robert Morrison one of the 13 to shut the gates 
at the famous siege of Derry was from this family (oral tradition).

The Registry of Deeds is perhaps the only archive in Ireland to escape 
unscathed over the years and the records are intact from 1708. A must for 
eighteenth century research.

[CoTyroneMailingList] Mailing List Tips

[Jim McKane via CoTyroneList]

Hello Listers - we have a very active group of members who have solved some
very interesting cases of late. Congratulations to all concerned.

However, I think the following tips will assist most of our members:

1) If you subscribe to the Digest mode, when you respond to a message in
the Digest, PLEASE remove all the extraneous emails from the reply leaving
only the one particular email of interest

2) If you are receiving a separate email for each response on the List and
find that annoying, you can adjust your settings to only receive the Digest
mode.

3) Were you aware there is a Mailing List Archive where you can scan ALL
messages sent through the List?? - *Click Here
*

4) It seems some members are missing replies to messages posted. If you are
one of them, it is most likely your email provider is, for some weird
reason, labelling the response as SPAM; therefore it is not being
delivered. In this case, you need to add  
to your whitelist. If you have trouble doing this, contact your email
provider for instructions.

I hope these tips are of assistance.

Always feel free to contact me directly with any questions or concerns.

Stay safe
