Lanarkshire / Re: Farrell - Where are they buried
« on: Monday 25 January 10 14:12 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Mickwally,

 Thank you for replying to this post. As you can see the Farrell line has alot of people trying to figure things out. This is the information that I have found -

Patrick Farrell married Ann Devlin (in Ireland)

children -

Peter ( as discussed in other posts)
Terence Augustine b.  28 Aug 1842 in Annaclone
Sarah - b. 1846 Partick, Scotland

The family moved to Scotland in time for the 1851 census. Patrick Farrell the father is not listed and must have died between 1847-51.

Terence Augustine married Margaret Morrison on 13 Feb 1866 at St. Andrews, Glasgow.

They had 4 children all born in Scotland -

Patrick - b. 14 Aug 1866 in Glasgow

Ann Gillespie - b 26 Oct 1868 d. 23 Jul 1869 in Glasgow

Margaret - b. 10 Jun 1870  d. 14 Aug 1871 in Glasgow

John Terence - b. 3 Sep 1872 in Glasgow

Their father Terence Augustine Farrell died in Glasgow on 29 May 1886. A little over a month after his brother Peter died.

If any of this fits with your neighbors information please let me know. As I would like to explore their family in Co. Down to see if they fit. Having the name Terence could be a very good clue.

Please let me know and Thank you,
Megan

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Question about LDS records
« on: Wednesday 04 November 09 20:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

 Thank you for your comments, I am actually looking at the LDS site in a whole new way now.

 In fact I am now going through my WHOLE family tree and double-checking on people where I have used the LDS records as some sort of source to make sure I have the actual documents to back it up and to make sure they both match up. Very frustrating.!

I plan on going through this LDS family tree and use it a " maybe" connection and try to find documents on the people to see if they really do match up. Hopefully, not everything on there is wrong.

Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions..

It is a common mistake that I have found on Ancestry trees. I don't know why people bother filling out the trees if they aren't getting the satisfaction of knowing that it is correct and they have found sources for the information.
That is the fun of doing the research when you find an actual document with your ancestors name on it and possibly information about them. Not just copying names and dates.

 I have found people putting my ggg grandmothers death at 1899 when I have posted her obituary from a newspaper as a source for 1867. And yet they still don't change their information. It is also listed on the LDS with the death date of 1899 submitted by one of the Ancestry tree owners !!!

It makes me angry because the LDS is supposed to have some form of accuracy for their records and now my whole family line is listed on their site incorrectly, and was submitted to them by one of their own members.

I spoke with a woman at my local LDS and she has told me that it will most likely never get changed because the family tree was submitted by 4 separate Mormon members, all with the same incorrect information. All I can do is possibly submit my information and hope that people use my info and not theirs. ARGHHH!!!

Hi Polarbear,

Thank you for replying to this post. I am with you in thinking that I should be very cautious about this info. I have put a call into my local LDS and I am waiting on a reply from them.

I guess my main aggravation about this is that there are at least 5 other family trees on Ancestry, and they all have the information from the LDS and they all are just accepting it as fact.

I have contacted the other tree members and asked for their sources and they all reply the LDS !! So no help there.

Anyway, thank you for your advice .

Census and Resource Discussion / Question about LDS records
« on: Thursday 29 October 09 11:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,

 I have a question on how reliable are the LDS records when they are submitted for " sealing of the dead ".

The reason why I am asking is because just recently I have discovered that someone has my family line on the LDS site and this family line goes back to 1604 England. The whole family was submitted for the " sealing ". Now I am Catholic but this family line 4 generations before me was Protestant.

I am questioning this because I cannot see or find any documentation for any of these people and I am questioning on how they got the information especially the ones for the people born in Ireland. 99% of my research is in Ireland and I know how hard it is to find records.

To see what I mean you can got to the LDS site and just type in " Lockhart Anderson". Then click on his pedigree/family

It is his mothers family line the Websters" that go back to the 1600's.

Any input on this appreciated.

Thank you,
Megan
