16. A Cautionary Tale:
STRANGERS IN THE BOX (Author Unknown)
Come, look with me inside this drawer,
In this box I've often seen,
At the pictures, black and white,
Faces proud, still, and serene.
I wish I knew the people,
These strangers in the box,
Their names and all their memories,
Are lost among my socks.
I wonder what their lives were like,
How did they spend their days?
What about their special times?
I'll never know their ways.
If only someone had taken time,
To tell, who, what, where, and when,
These faces of my heritage,
Would come to life again.
Could this become the fate,
Of the pictures we take today?
The faces and the memories,
Someday to be passed away?
Take time to save your stories,
Seize the opportunity when it knocks,
Or someday you and yours,
Could be strangers in the box.

19. I have the book, "History of Buffalo and Pepin
Counties" Volume 1, Wisconsin compiled by Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge and
published in 1919 and reproduction is available from Higgenson Books. Pages
391-395 have Boland information.
Wisconsin land records are on internet and Boland land can be reviewed. Boland's Valley does have an official sign on the highway. The farms are now rundown, but still exist. Farming was a hard life and after WWII, many left to work in nearby towns. The cemetery is very interesting. The Buffalo County Historical society sells the book, but Boland's not in Volume II.

20. IRISH NAMING PATTERN
1st son Father's Father
2nd son Mother's Father
3rd son Father's name
4th son Father's oldest brother
5th son Mother's oldest brother or Father's 2nd oldest brother
1st daughter Father's Mother
2nd daughter Mother's Mother
3rd daughter Mother's name
4th daughter Mother's oldest sister
5th daughter Father's oldest sister or Mother's 2nd oldest sister
The traditional naming pattern for Scots and Irish (doubly so for Ulster
Scots) is this :
1st son was named after the father's father
2nd son was named after the mother's father (and often middle name is
father's surname)
3rd son was named after the father
4th son was named after the father's eldest brother
5th son was named after the mother's eldest brother
...
1st daughter was named after the mother's mother
2nd daughter was named after the father's mother
3rd daughter was named after the mother
4th daughter was named after the mother's eldest sister
5th daughter was named after the father's eldest sister ...
*This pattern is not set in stone. For instance, it was considered bad luck
to have 3 people with the same name.
**** Note that the girls start on the maternal side. First daughter is
MATERNAL grandmother

Subject: Re: Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford
Here's my suggestion on how to find living cousins in a particular town (I found mine via a letter to the editor
in the local newspaper, which was picked up by a radio station, whose broadcast was heard by the cousin,
who called in and left her name, relayed to me by the station):
Locate your grandparents in the 1911 census, now on film which you can order into your local LDS FHC. That will supply the townland or place within the town. Write to the Valuation Office in Dublin for the cancelled land book entries for that townland from 1911 forward in time. That will show who took over your grandfather's house and who else lived in the houses near his. It will take you through 1970 (at least the is the last date on the pages sent to me from the Val. Office). Then look up the names on the 1970 page in the Irish phone listings on the 'Net (you will either get the very person or his son who may have taken over the house).
You can also try skipping the cancelled land books and see if you can get lucky by just inputting the townland
into the Irish phone listings and then making a call over there to anyone of your surname living on the
right townland or simply in Enniscorthy (depends on how uncommon the surname is). You could
also call the postmaster/postmistress if this a one-post- office place and ask about people of your surnames
to whom mail is delivered. I have been told that for my small town in Co. Clare, the postmistress knows
a lot about the families who have been living there.

Subject: Loans to the Irish people
The following information is from the Public records Office in
England...
The Irish Reproductive Loan Fund. The records of the Irish Reproductive
Loan Fund, in T 91, may be
helpful if you are looking for a family in Munster or Connaught in the mid
1800s. The fund provided loans at interest to the industrious poor, who had to
provide some form of security for the loan. Records of the local associations
which administered the loans
survive for counties Cork, Clare, Galway, Limerick, Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo and
Tipperary. In addition to the notes of security (signed by the
debtor and two guarantors), there are loan ledgers, repayment books and
defaulters books. They do not give much detail other than place of abode and
occupation.
