Look once, look twice, look thrice ...Oooh, look, there's Henry Revell!

30/5/2019

0 Comments

 
Sometimes we can be spoiled for choice when we come across more than one source for what should essentially be the same information in the same place.  Burials as indicated by memorial inscriptions are a case in point.  However, we can all see different things buried under the lichen (or nothing at all) and alas, we may not all write down everything we see accurately either. 

Therefore, my advice to you is that, even if you think you've gathered all the definitive information for one location, always check other similar sources if you happen across them.  Read on for the tale of Henry Revell to illustrate my point.
Picture
 The Revell branches of my family tree were taking some sorting out with most of the evidence relating to family graves in the parish church of St. Kevin's, Dunganstown, Co. Wicklow.

My cousin, Jackie had shared her own original research with me and I also photographed the graves myself in 2016 - you should be able to just about make out Henry's name in this photo, roughly in the middle of the inscription.  However, many of the gravestones had already taken a battering from the "soft" Irish weather, so I decided to try some further sources to learn more. 

The Representative Church Body Library (RCBL) in Dublin had the original parish registers [1783-1858] from which I painstakingly transcribed out all the relevant burials I could find, including a Henry Revell buried in 1840.  This was in all likelihood this man (his mother Jane inscribed before him was buried in 1837 and the John inscribed below him was buried in 1842.)  The RCBL also had an unique source in the form of a plan of the churchyard made in 1908 by Stanley Lane-Poole.  Stanley also published some extracts of this plan in the Journal of the Association for the Preservation of the Memorials of the Dead in 1909.  Some Revell graves were mentioned, but not this one with Henry Revell?  Stanley also pointed out in his introduction that there were significant gaps in the early burial register compared to his plan, which proved to be sage advice when trying to track down other Revell burials that should have been there!

Who else might help - Brian Cantwell of course!  Brian had done some wonderful transcriptions of many Wicklow headstones in the last 20 years of his life before his death in 1992.  These can be found in printed form in many Irish libraries and archives and are also available, indexed, online with FindMyPast.   But curiously, Henry was not recorded as an occupant of this grave, yet all the other occupants were?  This must have been a transcription error on Brian's part surely as Henry's name was clearly visible to me in 2016?

Joyce Tunstead had also taken some excellent photos of Dunganstown headstones in 2009 and published them on IGP but curiously there were NO Revell inscriptions recorded at all?  Again, given the evidence of my own photo in 2016, this slab was clearly visible along with its Revell neighbour - why did Joyce not include it I wonder?  Other flat slabs nearby were included, just not these ones?

So, in 3 of these sources there was nothing for Henry Revell.  By taking a photograph myself and corroborating via the burial registers, I could eventually confirm his demise, but I was left perplexed as to why several other people had left him, and other Revells, out of their gravestone research. 

Therefore, never pass up the opportunity to check an alternative source for something you think you already know as you may find more than you're looking for.

A Feast of Cartographic Delights!

16/5/2019

Picture
I'm a geography graduate so I love maps and when I recently found a feast of them on University College Dublin's Library website, I very happily spent an afternoon gorging myself on their cartographic delights.  There are not just links to maps held by UCD but also those in other academic collections such as the Harvard Digital Library.  

The UCD Maps and GIS Librarian has also very helpfully included a presentation on "Free websites sources for historical maps of Ireland" where she gives excellent guidance and practical advice on how to make the most of using these valuable resources.  

Picture
I have updated my web page on Irish Maps and Gazetteers with these new links and added some updated advice for wrangling with the  Ordnance Survey of Ireland map viewer.

Maps and clues in the geographical information associated with our ancestors are such a great resource for Irish research that I've made them the subject of a talk that I give called "Irish Research - Getting Your Bearings".  If you would like me to entertain your local family history group with this subject, click on the link above to go to my Kindred Ancestry website and get in touch via my Contact Form.

Updated Links for National Archives of Ireland page

11/5/2019

I should have spotted that the National Archives of Ireland (NAI) update to their main website in March might have caused a few problems with the links on my own page for the NAI.  My thanks to an eagle-eyed genie friend in the US for pointing this out.  I've rewritten my page to reflect the changes and updated the links.

Whilst I agree with Claire Santry's review in March that the new design is much fresher (although I'm not a fan of the boxes flying up from the bottom of the screen ...), I've had a really good roam around the site and do think that there is a lot of repetition and some curiously clumsy advice given for accessing post-1922 wills (see my page highlighted above for my own opinions and alternative options.) 
However, whinging aside, there is lots of good advice and of course a veritable smorgasbord of FREE Irish records to be had on this official site - fill your boots, as they say!

One link I could not see how to restore via the NAI was that to Herbert Wood's 1919 guide to the records.  However, Sean Murphy has recently published a facsimile version of this guide with an excellent essay as a preface, so I've included that link on my NAI page or you can access it directly via the link above. 

Sean has been busy as he has also updated his excellent free Primer on Irish Genealogy, which is well worth a read.  I also recommend taking the time to explore the rest of his Centre for Irish Genealogical and Historical Studies website where he has freely shared other essays and advice. In fact, I've just spotted his Guide to the National Archives of Ireland and am settling down for a good read now!

Star Letter!  Who's the Daddy?

10/5/2019

PictureSee May 2019 issue for the full letter
I recently wrote to Who Do You Think You Are magazine in praise of an article they had published about Muster Rolls in their March 2019 issue.  I had used this awesome resource in the National Archives in Kew a few years ago when I was helping a client find his Waterloo ancestors and also trying to find out more about my 4xGreat-Grandfather, John MacLean of the 91st Regiment of Foot. 

The latter proved to be an epic sleuthing exercise with 3 men of the same name in the regiment at the same time and after much painstaking cross-referencing of the original ledger entries with their small, faded, spidery writing, I think I worked out which one of them was at least in Scotland when his son was conceived!

The story must have amused the Editor as I was lucky enough to be awarded Star Letter for the month and I am eagerly awaiting the delivery of my prize of an Ancestry DNA test.  I will need to swot up on how to make best use of this new research tool for me, but honestly, nothing beats going back to the original documents and recreating the stories.  Those same ledgers went to war too in the wagon train to Waterloo or in the saddle bags to the Crimea and you can lay your (gloved) hands on them and touch history.  Make the time to do this sort of research and I'm sure you will be rewarded too.

From an Irish research perspective, don't forget that the British army recruited thousands of Irishmen, eager for better food and better pay.  The East India Company Armies were also home to many Irish emigrants and you will find their muster rolls and other related documents in the British Library India Office and some selected resources online with FindMyPast and FamilySearch.  See my web page "Fighting in a Foreign Field" for more advice and links.

What's the story?  Brush up on your Irish history to help solve those people puzzles.

PictureBook of the series
I have recently been enjoying watching a re-run of Fergal Keane's brilliant 5 part documentary, "The Story of Ireland", on BBC Four.  If you click on the green title, you can access aired episodes on the BBC iPlayer (although access may be time and geographically limited.)  If you can't catch up with the episodes, then the book of the series is widely available (click on this book cover image to go to its Amazon page.)

I've long maintained that you cannot successfully understand human geography, and indeed successfully research your own family history, if you don't understand the historical context of the evidence you find.  Apart from a brief flurry in Scottish primary school where the most exciting thing we learned about was the king who rode off a cliff, I had to choose between studying geography and history all through school (favouring the former right up to university as it turned out.) 

When I started researching my family history, I realised I was woefully ignorant on the history of Ireland and set about remedying this with several texts, of which this book of the series, written by Neil Hegarty was one.  I've added to my Irish library over the years and so, I have re-arranged and added to my Bookshelves to include a few of them on 2 virtual shelves now - Guides and Finding Aids and Histories.  Let me know what your favourites are.

So, my advice, is to step away from the databases once in a while and really research the Irish time period in which you are trying to locate records of your ancestors.  Understanding what was going on outside the church window during the marriage or the lawyers window during the writing of the will or the land lease might go a very long way to explaining why things happened the way they did and perhaps where to look next.

Free Townland Maps.  Deep Joy!

1/8/2018

When I first dreamt up this website, my ambition was to create a whole new library of finding aids based upon visually exploring maps instead of playing conventional "letterbox Scrabble" through the traditional database search sites.  Alas, Irish townlands maps especially were thin on the ground (no pun intended!)  I found this a bit of a handicap when trying to do family reconstruction research as it's actually the juxtaposition of several townlands that is important in understanding how families have formed and moved to nearby farms over the years.  I kid you not, I had to resort to printing screen grabs from Griffith's Valuations and getting my Sellotape and felt tips out to cobble together something that allowed me to see these patterns more easily. ​

My Townlands page contains a few examples of third party websites that are a great help at finding townlands and I am delighted to have been able to add another great one to it recently - OpenStreetMap for Ireland. Brian Hollinshead gave a talk to the Ireland Branch of the Irish Genealogical Research Society on the subject of maps for genealogists and highlighted this site in his handout amongst others (see this IGRS page.)

​The OpenStreetMap tool has a number of different layers that you can switch on - I particularly like the townlands and parishes options - so simple and clear.  The image below shows this on the modern road map version that is accessed via the link above, but there is also a version based on older historical maps, which will be great for finding farms and features that might not exist anymore.

I'm still happily playing around with this site - you can literally zoom all over Ireland.  As yet I haven't found a search facility, so you might have to use one of the other websites I recommend on my Townlands page to get an idea of where to zoom into.  Watch out for alternative spellings and even some alternative names - always fun with Irish townlands. This is a marvellous open source project, so you can get involved too - see the OpenStreetMap home page for more details.

Source Citations?  3...2...1... Now Argue!

11/3/2018

0 Comments

 
If there is one thing guaranteed to get 2 or more genealogists gathered together in a fankle, it's debating the rights and wrongs of how to construct correct source citations!  Whilst there are academic texts to help (Evidence Explained by Elizabeth Shown Mills of course being the first that springs to mind), people will inevitably come up with their own favourite way of citing evidence.  I use a pattern that I learned from my Postgraduate course which has proven to be reasonably robust and flexible, but evidently needs more work in some areas (see below!)  The various software packages we all mostly use to hold our data often have helpful "templates" for constructing particular types of sources, but a frequent criticism I have heard (and uttered myself) is that these tend to be biased towards American sources and are not always as helpful for sources from other parts of the world.

So, having recently enjoyed learning from several very good videos posted from Rootstech 2018, I am pleased to recommend one in particular that tackles this thorny subject well - "Source Citations - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" by Diana Elder is well presented and nicely illustrated.  It certainly made me think more carefully about how good some of my source citations were.  I thought that layered citations was an interesting concept and one that would have helped solve a retrieval problem I had early this week when I was compiling my military research pages. 

I had some evidence from a source on Ancestry for a relative but when I tried to find the record again online to recommend the record collection, I could not locate it or indeed the collection?  I had failed my own test for a good source citation - it must contain ALL the necessary information in order to locate the EXACT record again.  Although, in my defence, I'm wondering if the record set has been absorbed into one of the other similarly named sets?  Nevertheless, I can see how I can improve how I cite the online evidence I gather, in particular that gained from the increasing number of microfilms that have been digitised for browsing - who wants to have to step through hundreds of pages again when you omitted the image number from your source citation?!  

Remember, for it to be a good source citation, you have to be able to find the same record again or tell someone else where they can find it - anything else is apparently bad or ugly!

Indexing the Indexes

9/3/2018

1 Comment

 
The sport of genealogy means forever being in quest of evidence that you know is there, believe is there or just hope is there.  Finding aids abound to help us and arguably, the most common finding aids we all use every day are indexes.  However, all indexes are not created equal as any indexer is as prone to making mistakes or interpreting atrocious or faded handwriting in a myriad of ways as you or I would be.  All of the big online data companies outsource the indexing of huge data sets to the lowest bidders around the globe and so we get various degrees of frustration or hilarity creeping into the data.  

So, let's take the Civil Registration Indexes for England & Wales (E&W) and for Ireland as 2 separate examples - both places you would expect to find lots of your Irish kin.

I recommend that you watch Audrey Collin's recent talk to Rootstech 2018 on how the E&W Civil Registration Indexes came to be created and you will appreciate just how easy it was for many errors to have crept into them well before any 20th century digital fingers started flying over keyboards to create the online indexes we all use today.  FreeBMD is a great free resource whereby volunteers are transcribing the GRO secondary indexes but did you know that there is also another volunteer project, UKBMD, that is focusing on local registrar indexes from which the GRO indexes were originally compiled (are you keeping up?!)  Find My Past (FMP) and Ancestry have then subsequently bought in some of these indexes and / or compiled their own.  That's a lot of different indexes starting to proliferate for the same records, so my advice is, if you can't find what you're hoping to find in one index, try out another one.

The free Irish government website, Irish Genealogy, has their own indexes to the Irish Civil Registration records, whilst I believe both FMP and Ancestry both bought in the index compiled by FamilySearch for the same records.  But it would appear from a recent story on Claire Santry's Irish Genealogy News blog that FMP have now created their own indexes to Irish civil births and marriages but there does seem to be some quality control issues.

Incidentally, I gather that perhaps somewhat unusually, FMP and Ancestry actually collaborated on the creation of new indexes to the Irish Roman Catholic records released by the National Library of Ireland - presumably to keep costs down rather than try to race each other to be first to publish?   So, if you are searching these records in either of these sites, I presume the results should be the same?  I haven't tested this one out for myself yet.

So, the moral of the tale is don't rely on just one index that happens to be accessible via your favourite free or subscription site.  If you want to be thorough and "reasonably exhaustive" in your research, then use as many different indexes as possible in order to compile your candidates.

Harry Potter and your amazing family history story

1/3/2018

0 Comments

 
PicturePoster available at British Library shop and online
I recently went to the fabulous Harry Potter - History of Magic exhibition at the British Library with my lovely niece, (also Ruth!)  Perhaps you saw the documentary which highlighted the beautiful manuscripts and objects that helped inspire JK Rowling to create the magical world of Harry Potter and Hogwarts?

Also exhibited were her original handwritten and typed notes, showing how the she developed the plot, for example, what was happening to various groups of characters as the chapters advanced forward month by month through the school year.  Near the end of the exhibit, simple grids literally scribbled on ripped out sheets of ruled A4 paper illustrated graphically how the Order of the Phoenix took shape - chapters set in particular months with how the main plot lines were to be advanced and what was happening to particular groups of characters or individuals (even if they were waiting "off stage" to come into later chapters.)  Being a bit of spreadsheet diva, of course I loved this idea! 

However, another idea took root in the genealogical corner of my brain.  JK Rowling has famously said that she always knew how the entire saga would end and she wrote each book with a view to advancing her characters towards that goal.  A bit like your own personal family history story, if you play if forward rather than advancing ever backwards as we usually do.  You know how it (currently) ends with you and your immediate living family.  Through your research, you may have found quite a large cast of characters whose lives play out in parallel until the paths of some them cross and you move down the "branch" closer to you on the "trunk" of the tree.

So, if like me, you have wanted to get creative and get down to writing your family history story for a long time but have gathered so much research evidence that it all seems too daunting, then perhaps JK Rowling's methods can inspire you.  Design a series of books - the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian years perhaps or maybe your story revolves closely around particular places, say a group of villages from which your ancestors migrated towards a major town or city where you now live?  Pick a layer to start working forward from e.g. all your known Great Grandparents (that's 16 characters.)  Plot each chapter within a relevant timeline, say a few decades, which will allow you to weave contemporary historical events into all the extant characters lives at the same time, plus show how local events helped create the opportunities for them to meet and marry.  Conclude each chapter by introducing the new characters who will play their part in the next ones.

OK, your narrative won't be exotically littered with dragon eggs, Golden Snitches or Deathly Hallows, but I'll bet you have your own treasured objects and tales that will illuminate your story.  Get scribbling!

New look for Irish Geneaography

14/2/2018

PictureBridge over the River Derry, Clonegal, Co. Carlow
I've spent quite a bit of time freshening up the look of the site this week as I'd realised that in my quest to share lots of information with you all, I was in danger of creating a book instead of a website.  Yes, there's still a lot of text but I've also finally got around to using some original photos that my partner, Wiggy, took whilst we enjoyed a fabulously sunny (no joke!) holiday in Ireland in 2016.  

This lovely photo was taken on a typical "soft" Irish day when it was raining gently and 2 swans were necking downstream - beautiful.


So, what can you expect to find on the new look site?  Lots of lovely photos that bring the text to life and illustrate some of the things I'm trying to describe better.  The Welcome page is also a lot more welcoming I hope and much clearer with respect to what you can expect to find and how to navigate, and explains that, no, you won't find any potato recipes despite the odd tabs (although, I don't know, maybe I should post a few?)! 

​I've moved a few things around to make the 3 main sections a bit clearer as to how the content relates to each other and I've made my unique finding aids easier to find.  There are also a few new sections, including a list of questions that are answered across the pages under "What's for Dinner" - great if you are pondering a people puzzle.  There is also an updated section on Trinity College Dublin students under Student Days (see also the preceding blog post for some more insight on this resource.)

I've also been inspired to think about some new content, so do come back again soon over the next few weeks to see what's new dishes are served up!

Bon Appetit!
