The Irish Times Digital Archive Free Until December 14 2009
The Irish Times digital archive, which contains exact reproductions of all articles published by The Irish Times from 1859 onwards, is available free until December 14 2009.

"For much of Easter Week 1916, The Irish Times was the only newspaper on the streets, even though, because of censorship and the breakdown of communications systems, its ability to report on the fighting was extremely limited. Apart from the proclamation of martial law, it filled its pages with "special articles of literary interest and some items of local events." By Saturday May 2nd, however, it was able to carry a headline on "The Sinn Féin Rising: Scenes And Incidents In Dublin Streets" along with a great deal of vivid detail. On Saturday May 13th, the Weekly Irish Times was published as a special triple issue, with extensive details of the fighting, lists of casualties, the names of prisoners sentenced and deported and photographs of the main protagonists. It achieved a "colossal" circulation and became a standard reference work on the history of the Rising"

I am looking for any information on Samuel Jemison (b. 1780 d. 1871) of Cookstown, County, Tyrone, married to Sara McComb (b. 1787 d. 1849). They had a farm called Agenhtarhn Farm. They raised seven children: Samuel and William (twins), James, Eliza, Thomas, Joseph, and Sara. Samuel, James Thomas, William, and Sara all left Ireland and went to America 1830-1840). Eliza and Joseph stayed in County Tyrone and raised families there. This is as far back as I have been able to trace this part of my family. I would appreciate any suggestions on where I might do some more researching to get some more information.

Wanted to respon to Debbie Anne's July query about using the irish-roots.ie/ pay per view site. I have used the site successfully. It works best when someone already has a little information to work with. I have found that if I have specific names, estimated dates, and some knowledge of location, a search will often pull up multiple records. That's the point at which the user needs to make some decisions. To view a record to see if it's the one for which you're searching costs six Euros. I've learned that even in a small townland there are most often numerous people who share names and dates. In the beginning I felt as if I were in Las Vegas, using one of the old one-armed bandits. Those Euro credits can evaporate quickly. My advice - use when you've already done some research and use with restraint.

I am looking for information about William M. Callahan, born August 1840 in Limerick County, Ireland. Immigrated to the USA sometime before 1861, date unkown. He joined the union army June 30, 1861, at Birds Point, Mo. Discharged April 6, 1863, at St Louis, Mo. after being wounded in the battle for Ft Donelson. He re-enlisted shortly after that because he could not find work. Did he have brothers or sisters who emigrated with him?

I am looking at/for Hannan information. My ancestor was Patrick Hannan. He may have been Patrick J. Hanan and I'm not at all sure about his wife's name. She was a daughter or sister of Daniel Sheehan. I have found a Julia A. Sheehan - could that be his wife?? They come from the Tipperary area, we think. Their descendants over there live in the Balleybunnion and Listowel areas. They had two known children: Thomas & Matthias. Thanks for help. I do want to join the Irish Group.
