Thanks to all who replied.
I now have made contact with my second cousin twice removed, living in Australia.
What an excellent website this is.

Anyone know of him?
Thanks.

Armagh / Re: McCorry surname
« on: Saturday 03 January 15 10:09 GMT (UK)  »
My last excursion into family history was in 2008. Since then I have changed computers and with an incompatible software program I am only now taking up more research.
I cannot remember which particular websites I used back then, so in effect I am starting all over again.
In the meantime there has been so much more information available digitally that my current research is producing more accurate results.
I felt I needed to say all this before replying about the details I have on Catherine McCorry.
DEATH: Civil Registration Indexes 1845-1958,General Registry, Custom House, Dublin - Lurgan Oct-Dec 1909, vol1, p510,m/film101,604
GS Film no.0101604, Digital folder no.004201708, Image no.00422.
MARRIAGE: same index, year 1867, volno.16,page no.978, digital folder no.4179383

All the above obtained by using FamilySearch website, and currently looking for her birth details.
Thanks for your interest.
Geoff.

Armagh / McCorry surname
« on: Friday 02 January 15 19:16 GMT (UK)  »
My g-g-grandmother was Catherine McCorry. She married John Cassells  and on 6th August 1855 gave birth to Mary Ann Cassells in Analoist, Shankill. Irish Family History Baptism Records lists the family as Roman Catholic.
Catherine died Oct/Dec. 1909 in Lurgan, the records suggest she was born in 1837.
I would be grateful if anyone could shed more light on her birth, parents, etc.
Thank you.
Geoff.

The above link will show you all the differences between the two versions.
I am surprised you have not noticed any of them.

Sid and Harry were brothers.
Sid was my grandfather, Harry has a great-great grandson named Brent.
What relationship exists between myself and Brent?
If anyone can explain I would be very grateful.
Thanks.

That's fantastic news. I will try an email and se if it is still valid after 12 years.
Thank you so much.

Try OpenOffice.org as it can open just about any other program. Download and install for free on the internet.
Your problem seems to stem from people with older versions which are not forward compatible with newer versions of the same program.
Having said that I have never come across anyone who is unable to open an rtf file.

Win 8.1 is very good, but much of it is hidden from view until you move your mouse cursor.
Just give yourself time to get used to it.
If you get stuck, email Andy Rathbone who wrote Windows8.1 for Dummies. He is very helpful.
I have used computers since 1983 and every new version has to be got used to.
I can recommend Mesh Computers for a cheap high-spec. unit built to your own requirements.
Good luck.
