I have found a blog site called Lord Belmont In Northern Ireland which has some interesting stuff about the Archdale's including Castle Archdale and Archdale Baronets.

The above mention pages are both on the dgenweb site and they both link back to the Lord Belmont site. Have a look, it is a great read.

Thanks Timothy

The whole of Dgenweb is having a revamp so there will be some minor issues and hiccups. I am integrating the website, forum and gallery so as one username and password will sign you in to all. There is some new software available to me as well which will give me the ability to put more of the family tree stuff on the actual web site. (Convert gedcom to HTML)

I have noticed that during this transition some of the links are not working correctly but I will fix soon. Please bare with me.

Sallaway from St Neots, Huntingtonshire, England

I have recently recieved an email from someone researching the Sallaway family -

"Hi

I am hoping that you might be able to assist me.

I am looking for information on my Great Grandfather who was Daniel Fauel Sallaway.

I am lead to believe that he was born in 1863 and died in Bourke Australia on the 6^th August 1950 at the age of 87.

I do know that he married a Hannah Josephine or Maria Morrissey who died in Charleville on 15-05-1950 Queensland Australia.

They had had 2 children Norma Mary and Olive Catherine.

Unfortunately due to a fire that occurred sometime ago this all the information I can obtain.

I am currently seeking help from the New South Wales births, deaths and marriages register but they also hold little hope in me obtaining any other information as some of the spelling of the surnames have been incorrectly recorded.

Norma Mary and Olive Catherine both children are now decease.

Norma Mary died in Quilpie Queensland

Olive Catherine died in California USA.

If there is any connection to your family tree I would dearly love to hear from you.

Regards"

My reply - " I have just had a bit of a look around for your Daniel Sallaway and it looks like both our families hail from St Neots, Huntingtonshire, England.

Daniel F Sallaway’s parent appear to be Favel Sallaway and Catherine M Jennings (he also had a prior marriage to Mary Ann Cuhane). Favel was born abt 1837 and died in 1903 at Cobar, NSW

Their seems to be a name change before that (appears about the same time with my lot) Favel’s parent look to be Samuel Salloway (or Sallaway) and Francis Favel.

I will keep delving when I get a chance and will send you some links etc as well."

Samuel Aitkens Sallaway's father was John Sallaway born in 1827 in St Neots and Favel Sallaway appears to be born at St Neots as well (Favel sailed on the Hilton in 1855 aged approx 18yo) I would think that somehow this family is related.

Web-sites back up and running

I stuffed up and almost lost my web sites. My domains where not accessable and at one stage it looked like I was going to have to rebuild every thing which would have been weeks of work. Everything is back up and running now including my dgenweb email account.

Will be a little more careful from now on.

James Henry b1909 Moneystaghan, Ireland

Brother in-law has just given me a copy of his grandfathers birth certificate. Already have leads on the family.

James Henry

District registered - Bellaghy, Superintendents registrars district - Magherafelt, County of Londenderry

Date & place of birth - 23 Aug 1909 Moneystaghan
Father - James Henry from Glenore, Labourer
Mother - Annie Henry (formerly Henry?)

James married Rosina Ellen Downey in Brisbane Australia in 1937.

James Married Annie on 4th June 1909, James, Annie and 1yo James appear to have come to Australia 12 June 1911 on the Fifeshire. In the 1911 census (2nd April) it shows the family living with Annie's sister Rose Henry.

Approx birth dates - James 1886, Annie 1880

Now the costly part of the exercise starts, records from Ireland do not come cheap.

Not enjoying this..... I would recommend to anybody starting out on their family tree to start of slow and make sure they put all information, especially sources etc. into tree as they go, do not do it all later as I have done. I am going through each person individually and inputting sources manually, what fun. The only bonus I can see is the fact that I will get to check all individuals for mistakes even though it will take me months to do it.

Tree is starting to take on shape now with over 1600 people in it and thats after I pruned a few branches that were a little to far away from main branch. Still have not finished Nevell branches but I am still checking a few things on that side as I go.

Tree up dated, mainly Archdale/Archdall in this update. Has been interesting reading and most of the material I have gotten off The Peerage Site has matched with information from the Archdall family here in Queensland but has a lot of other branches as well. The name seemed to get changed from Archdall to Archdale and back again on a fairly regular basis. Marrying cousins also looked popular.

A little more to go and then some more checking etc then I will get back to the Nevell side.

Archdall's back to 1550

I have found some information on the Archdall side of the family all they way back to John Archdale who died before 1557. They were from England but Johns grandson moved to Ireland. He obtained by Letters Patent on 13 July 1612 a grant of land at Tallanagh, Lurg, County Fermanagh, Ireland on which the old Castle Archdale was built in 1615.

The name change came about with Venerable John Archdale & Elizabeth Donnellan's children,

Frances Archdale

Elizabeth Archdale

Reverend John Archdall - I do not know why.

This family seem to have everything in it, churchwarden, sherif, balif, chamberlain, merchants, clergy, Archdeacon, vicars, goldsmiths, cheif magistrate etc

There is a lot to get through (at least 300 names) so it will be a few weeks before it will be online,

I have just loaded some pages from a book "The Woodens an Australian saga" on the forum, this is the basis of all my original information. There is some good interesting reading on William and Hannah Barron and thier children, about a gold mine and even a shooting.

It is private area and for family only because of copyright.

Is great to hear from you Margaret.

These are some pages that my uncle gave to my mother awhile ago, I do not know where they come from but it is certainly some interesting reading. It is account of his life from childhood (born 1872) in Newington and Bowenfells to his marriage in 1896.

If this reunion comes off next easter and somebody from WA comes over maybe it would be a good time to organize a Barron function as well.

Another Sallaway re-union on the way. I have heard whispers that there is going to be a big do in Warwick next Easter. All the Beachmere crowd are interested in going and hopefully we can get people from all over the country side again.

I for one am very excited about it.

Forum

I have made a genealogy forum as place where every one researching their family history can connect with other researchers and swap information. It is part of the dgenweb.com group of sites.

There are areas for members to exchange private information as well as the main general message boards. Hopefully with some promotion it should get some memberships. I will start setting up and inviting people from old forum in the next few days. The messages from the old boards are also being transferred over.

If genealogy is of interest to you, register now, it is free. Forum

I have finally got my own domain and website up and running. The site is dgenweb.com (Daves Genealogy Web). There is still a lot of work to be done and because I have just copied items of my other sites there are a few links still to be fixed plus overhauling some pages completely.

Over the next few weeks I will finalise the change over and update all pages etc. I am also making a new forum which will be more public (with private members only areas for related people). I am trying to keep every thing under the one banner - dgenweb.

My new email address is dave@dgenweb.com

Congrates Susan on the new bub, I had updated your information on the tree but the new addition is still to be added.

Thanx Scott on your family details (kids birth dates etc), I will update online trees in the next week or so. Of course the names will not be visable to everybody.

I have added some information on the Frid line of the family that was given to me by ....... Niven. There was some good information there and was very interesting and it looks like there might be areas still worth researching particualrly if I can contact .......... Garrett who has been researching the same family on the net a little while back.

What is dgenweb?

My thought was to incorporate web pages, blogs, current updates and forums all in one and have them all under one banner. The name of dgenwebs (Daves Genealogy Web) was available in the google blogger and google sites as well as still being available as a .com and .com.au domains which I will purchase as soon as I decide on a hosting site.

I thought that dgenweb was stepping back from my surname a little bit so hopefully it does not turn people away from it because the are a distant relation with different surname. It should be a little more of a generic genealogy site with more specific families as offshoots.

Thats my thoughts anyway, and hopefully it comes together. There is still a lot of work to be done on the website to make it a little more generic and not just about me, "Rome was not built in a day."
