"Familia, " which was first published in 1985, aims to provide informed writing on sources and case studies relating to that area where Irish history and genealogy overlap with mutual benefit. Members of the Foundation's Guild receive "Familia "and the "Directory of Irish Family History Research" as part of the return on their annual subscription.
William Elliott (1772-1856)--son of William Elliott and Margaret Ross-- married Susannah Little in 1809, and in 1845 immigrated (to join a son) to land near Tweeds, Hastings County, Ontario. Descendants and relatives lived in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and elsewhere. Some descendants immigrated to North Dakota, Oklahoma and elsewhere in the United States. Includes some family history in Ireland. Includes transcripts from parish registers for christenings, marriages, and burials for Elliott individuals in Ireland, without tracing relationship.
In all genealogical work the first and most important step is to establish the geographical origin of the ancestor. In Irish research the genealogist may know the name of the county where the ancestor lived but be puzzled about a place name given as the place of birth or residence. In all probability the place-name s that of a townland, the smallest territorial subdivision in Ireland. Since research in Ireland will usually start at the parish level, there must be a reference tool that will key the townland to the parish in which it is located. This work was prepared under the auspices of the British government for almost that purpose. The over 900 densely printed pages show the county, barony, parish, and poor law union in which the 70,000 townlands were situated in 1851, as well as the location of the townlands on the Great Ordnance Survey maps, with appendices containing separate indexes to parishes and baronies.
