Best genealogy moment
My best genealogy moment was when I was in the library and finally found the census record that revealed that my Elliot KY ancestor was born in PA. A thrill went coursing through my body because I knew that the port of Phildelphia was one of the largest destination port of calls for immigrants from western Europe, Scotland - Ireland - England.
Specialty
I would say my specialty is being having the patience and tenacity to find those obscure lost census
Time in history
I have two favorite time periods in history - Civil War period and the 1940's the time of 'the Greatest Generation'. My dad was a WWII hero. He earned the 'Bronze Star.'
Hobbies
Genealogy is about my biggest hobby but I am also slowly writing a book. I call it 'One Family's Journey.' My most favorite hobby is to travel.
Music
My music tastes are very eclectic and they range from Schubert, Strauss and Chopin to Louis Armstrong to Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman to Fats Domino and Buddy Holly to the Four Seasons, Beach Boys and Beatles to the Monkeys, the Mamas & Papas, Bob Seegar and Creadance Clearwater to Jim Croce, from Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez and Janis Joplin to Peter, Paul and Mary, from Celine Dion to Savage Garden from Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn to Carrie Underwood and Alison Kraus from Bill Gathier to Paul Wilbur. A little of everything except Rap, just don't get it. Summer Wine http://view.break.com/507504 - Watch more free videos

Books of the history of Ireland and Scotland, history of the Civil War and WWII, mystery and suspense i.e. Patricia Cornwell and John Grisham novels.

As you will see two of my greatest heroes in Irish history and Scottish history are represented in the video snipits from the films made of their lives. Michael Collins fought for Ireland to be an independant free state and was the major catalist to that end. Rob Roy MacGregor was was one of the great heroes to his people during the Jacobite times. One of my favorite actors, Liam Neeson, plays both heroes to great effect. Liam Neeson is really and truly Irish and is a man of great stature as was both Michael Collins and Rob Roy MacGregor

Genealogy Today

Conas ta' tu'? As most genealogists know genealogy today is becoming more and more hi-tech. Today genealogists are finding definite links to ancestral lines of old by using DNA forensic science to prove an absolute connection to their lines. I received an exciting email from someone I had never heard from before. She is a direct descendant of my ancestor Johnston Elliott through his son, Green Lee Elliott, from his second marriage to Susannah Lucianah Brown . I am a direct descendant of Johnston Elliott through his elder son, Austin Elliott, from his first marriage to Susannah Austin. I am the gr-gr-gr-grandaughter of this son. She is the gr-gr-grandaughter of Green Lee Elliott. Her cousin, which means that he is somehow my cousin also, H. T. Elliott has been tested for DNA cheek sample. He now has been shown to be descendant from the Elliots of Midlam Mill. I knew through my own research and from the book 'Elliotts of Casey' written by Jo Touchstone, due to the fact that my research merged with her information, that I was of this line of Elliiots but to get the DNA confirmation is very exciting. Score one for an amateur fly-by-the seat of her pants genealogist. Yipee!!! feichfidh me' ar ball thu', Slan, Sinead
Celtic Thunder

Conas ta' tu'? I love my Celtic heritage. The Irish/Scots being the strongest in my genetic make-up leads me to lean toward those although I have Welsh and English thrown in there also. I know those of you who love celtic music have heard of the show, with accompaning CD, Celtic Woman. It is some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Now let me introduce you to Celtic Thunder. It is a new show, with accompaning CD and DVD, by the same producer as Celtic Woman. It is comprised of 5 gentlemen ages 14 to 40 something. They have the most incredible voices individually and corporately they harmonize beautifully. If they come near you they are a must to go see. I have tickets for 11 October when they are going to be in Cincinnati and am so pumped I can hardly wait. Please take time to listen to a little sample of their performaces that I have put on my page. Enjoy! feicfidh me' ar ball thu' Sinead

When I bought a new computer three years ago all my genealogy files got lost in the transfer of data from one computer to another and I had to start over. The ConnellyConleys are the only family I have finished so far. Will post as I finish the others. Slan, EnidJust a taste of my trip to Ieland

About Me
Thursday, July 17, 2008, 3:20 PM
[General]
About me:
I am a 59 year old widow, mother and grandmother. My place of residence is in Ohio, USA. I have auburn hair and hazel eyes, mostly light brown with flecks of green in them. I am of Irish and Scottish descent, with a bit of the Welsh (maternal grandmother) thrown in there. I am of the Connelly/Conley Clan on the Irish side (father) and of the Elliot/Elliott Clan on the Scottish side (mother). I have been studying about my Iirsh and Scots hertiage since 1992. I have traced both sides back to the origins and am writing a book called 'One Family's Journey.' I should work on it more and maybe I would get it finished. Oh, well! I love dance of all kinds especially ballet. The etheral quality of touches me in the same way that celtic music does. I think next to ballet I like ballroom with it's elegance and passion. I love the arts also, all kinds: sculpture, fabric, photographic, mixed media, etc. The impressionists are my favorite painters, Manet, Degas, Monet, Renoir, Morisot, etc. with Mary Cassatt and her emotion provoking mother and child works. Celtic music is my especial love with the Big Band sound of the '40's with Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, the Dorseys, etc. coming a close second. I love Beatles, Schubert, Chopin, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Strauss, Moody Blues, Garth Brooks, Savage Garden, etc., see what I mean. The beauty that God has given us begs to be explored and I love to hike the hills and dales of this earth. I made my life's dream trip to Ireland in 2006 and I cannot describe in mere words the beauty. Ireland touches all the emotions in me, dance, music, poetry, drama and history. The people are warm, witty and wonderful. I love to read write and dream. I am passionate about life and the loves in my life, family, friends, children, grandchildren and most of all my Lord.
