25.01.2022 If you haven't already heard, we only have about 14 more months to wait. Our library has a paid subscription to Find My Past. We're guessing there'll be a lineup at the door in January 2022.



23.01.2022 Love to see you at our library soon.

22.01.2022 We have received the following email from the USA. Please reply directly to her if you can help. I am an (American) descendant of Ryans from Co. Westmeath, Ireland. "Our" great great grandmother Anne Ryan and her husband John Moorhead immigrated to America in 1855 following an "incident" with an unpopular Anglo Irish landlord. However, many of Anne Ryan's siblings (and cousins) immigrated to Australia around the same time. These Australian-bound siblings included Patrick Ry...an (b. 1831; married Mary Agnes Nally; d. 3-7-1910, Queensland; possible daughter Mary Agnes Emma Ryan 1877-1957, buried at Mount Bassett Cemetery, Mackay), Ellen (b. 1833; married a Beaumont), and Michael (b. 1837; married Elizabeth Coyne; d. 1910). The parents of these Ryans were Patrick Ryan and Ellen Gavin. These Co. Westmeath Ryans apparently stemmed from a Denis Ryan who came to Meedin, Co. Westmeath from Co. Tipperary in the late 18th Century. We know from our modern day County Westmeath relations that "Ryans" from Australia came to Co. Westmeath a few years ago looking for their roots (just as we did). So some descendants from Co. Westmeath living in Australia appear to be aware of their ancestral link to Co. Westmeath. We would love to connect with our Australian Ryans. Please contact us with any helpful information. Sincerely, Ellen Sward Vancouver, Washington USA [email protected]
