Technical Help / Re: iFamliy for Mac still supported?
« on: Sunday 05 October 25 12:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi :) yes unfortunately it looks like the iFamily website and forum are gone.
it was just one person (Warwick) looking after the updates and maintenance.
I have the latest version of MacOS and although I get a message to update, the program still works perfectly for me for now..
I choose 'check for update' then wait a minute and it opens.
If you can get into iFamily that way on your Mac , you can export a .GED file that you can import into any other genealogy software. I hope this helps.

Dublin / Re: Information on Catholic marriage records 1855
« on: Wednesday 15 June 11 14:50 BST (UK)  »
Christine, as Shane says, the further details in the record should include witnesses.

Near the bottom of the page you will see either
'the page has not yet been imaged' or, if you are lucky,
'View the Church Register page..' where you can view the scan of the actual register.

I've been lucky with these, seeing the witness names and also the occupations of the Husband's father and Wife's father. (1855/56 Dublin Church of Ireland records and Kerry RC records.)
 
Keep visiting the website, as some of these scans were not there a few months ago

Good luck!

Kerry / Re: Cantillons of Causeway, Kerry
« on: Tuesday 24 May 11 10:35 BST (UK)  »
Jackie,
that is a great piece of work! I have something similar too - there are a lot of Cantillons in the area!

My GG Grandfather was Richard, son of Barnabus and Catherine Diggan (that you mentioned, Antocar)
Richard lived in Ballydonoghue, near Listowel.

from your spreadsheet Jackie, Barnanus was a brother of your ancestor.
I remember visiting Ballyheigue Castle as a child, I think it is a hotel now.

TasTyger, I have also come across the names you mentioned.
I had read about Catherine being sent to Van Dieman's land.

I will have a look at my research tonight and see what I have.
Ciarán.

Morning Liam, there is a plaque in a wall, outside a corporation house in Yellow Road, Whitehall, dedicated to a Volunteer, I have no idea who it is or why it is there, perhaps this relates to the reference in your fathers pension application, maybe someone on this site could help and explain the story behind the plaque.
If I come across any other information, I will let you know.
CSM
Hi CSM; like Liam, I'm new and hope I'm not posting out of order here!
I read about the Plaque in Yellow Road recently, on Dublin.ie/forum, and here is a snippet..

25 August 1922. One of the most despicable murders of Republicans took place at Whitehall on this date. Alfie(Leo) Colley(18), Parnell Street, and Sean Cole(17), Buckingham Street, were two of the most senior Fianna officers in the Dublin Brigade of Fianna Éireann. They were picked up at Newcomen Bridge, North Strand, on their way home from an officers meeting at Marino. A witness stated that their abductors were wearing trench coats over Free State Army officers uniforms. Witnesses also saw them being shot dead at 'The Thatch', Pucks Lane, (Now Yellow Road), Whitehall, Dublin. Popular opinion at the time was that these killings were carried out as a reprisal for the death of Michael Collins earlier that week. (National newspapers reporting incident and inquest 27&28 August 1922)
