Re: Excerpts from Irish newspapers

From The Cork Examiner, 9 August 1861 -

A CHILD about seven years old, the son of a barber named

John McQuaid...

The first, (and hopefully last) sensible comment from this lister. It is not
a question of what IS part of Britain, surely genealogy deals with what WAS.

John Cartmell...

We have already been through all of this. It wasn't. Ever.

Jeff...

Of course you are correct,I've no wish to prolong this but just to set
record straight the NG charter is quite consistent with Dennis' postings
given that many living within areas defined by the NG immigrated from
Ireland. To whit:

The group is open to anyone with an interest in genealogy in any of the
populations in or from this area, including, but not limited to: people
who live, lived, or may have lived there; emigrants; immigrants;
colonists; residents of former colonies; and their descendants.

The scope of the group reflects language, history, migrations.........."

Most importantly the denizens of this NG made it abundantly clear they
value his contributions.

Keep up the good work Denis, I'm sure I will come across one of my ancestors
in your listings one of these days!

Hogan, residing in Thomas-street, fell into the river from
Merchant's-quay, at five o'clock last evening. A porter named
Ivis, of New-lane, St. Finn Barr's, jumped into the tide, which
was high at the time, and brought the little fellow safely to the
quay.
