- Comment on: Blog Post 'Introducing The Wild Geese Irish Ancestry Group'
- inaling settling in my "home town" of Bridgeton in southern New Jersey. As I am approaching 75 in a few months, my brick wall in Ireland is okay with me. Have written for records twice - and there are none. Chalk it up to "the poor". Anyway, I now teach genealogy at a senior center and have assisted many in finding their roots. One gentleman, who has a PhD and is a published author of several small books, Scully (roots in Kings County) being his surname, had worked on his own to Fiacha Araidhe?? (is this even possible), which got me deeper into Irish roots. I enjoy this website and it has educated me more about Ireland. I am well aware that the Irish came over to America to help us fight and build this country and I am proud of it! So make me a member of the genealogy group.…

- Topic: Irish State Papers now available at PRONI:Of unique significance as most Irish records of the Dublin Castle administration before 1790 were destroyed in the burning of the Public Record Office in 1922
- d browse through digitised copies of records held by the National Archives at Kew, London. The Irish State Papers are the official archives of the Secretaries of State from the reign of Henry VIII to c. 1782. Mainly letters, both from officials and private individuals, they also include reports and memoranda, proposals and treatises, working papers and private papers, accounts of royal revenues and possessions and cover practically every aspect of government. They are of unique significance for Irish history as most Irish records of the Dublin Castle administration before 1790 were destroyed in the burning of the Public Record Office of Ireland in 1922. http://www.proni.gov.uk/news_details.htm?newsRef=2527…

- Topic: Original Records Are Rotting
- tant set of records for 19th-century Irish local and family history. And, in the furore over access, one vital point is constantly missed. The original records are still sitting in the sacristies and presbyteries around the country where they have been for the past two centuries. No organization on the island is concerned with preserving them: there is no archival programme to ensure their survival." Read the Grenham's full piece here. What's your take on this? Can anything be done to save these important and irreplaceable records? …

- Comment on: Topic 'Welcome to the Flock!'
- born to an Irish Tavern owner here in Troy, NY. My parents were John and Margery (Malone) Cooney. I have traced my Malone roots to Ireland, County Offlay and Australia and met some lovely cousins over the internet. On this last trip I met with Kirwan cousins in Galway and we exchanged some wonderful information. Not yet able to track my Cooney roots back to Ireland. Both of my great grandfathers were from Ireland, Richard Malone immigrated in 1860 and Michael Cooney immigrated in 1865. Richard married Martha McGregor from Ireland and Michael married Margaret Martin, whose father was born in Ireland. Won't bore you with all the details but I find genealogy so exciting. Ten years ago here in Troy a group of folks, including myself, formed the Troy Irish Genealogy Society to explore Troy's Irish history. You might enjoy taking a look at our website....www.troyirish.com.... Looking forward to some interesting discussion on this site!! Kristin Cooney-Ayotte…
