Every effort will be made to publish accurate material; however, neither TENNESSEE GENE:ALOGICAL SOCIETY, "ANSEARCHIN'" NEWS, nor the Editor can assume responsibilities for errors on the part of contributors. Corrections of proven errors will be published. Publishable and unpublishable contributions are put on file in our library for the use of our members.

ISSN #0003-5246 Spring 1980 1 OVER THE EDITOR'S DESK "Ansearchin'" News has begun its 27th year of publication with many changes. Never let it be said that we are so buried in the past that we cannot accept the present or anticipate the future. But, let us here take one at a time, please. We cannot begin without giv~ng thanks where thanks are due, namely to our last Editor, Bettie Brandon Davis, who has given above and beyond the call of duty. Over the last five years she has rendered service and support to other officers of The Tennessee Genealogical Society, but her main contributions are the Table of Contents, which lists by volume every article published by this magazine, the ac­ quiring of permit for second class mailing (have you ever dealt with bulk mailing?), and the publishing of eight issues while struggling against tremendous odds over which she had no control. As for the present, we are trying a new concept for the magazine. We will continue to give our all to try to give you an issue packed with source material, unpublished family records, hard-to-find details and people looking for people. But we have be­ come such a large operation that no individual can be asked to house all the necessary f~les, machines and warm bodies that are required to publish this quarterly. There­ fore, we have an office: We are housed in the library of The Tennessee Genealogical Society in Memphis. You will notice from the list of officers that the magazine has a Managing Editor, or Business Manager, who relieves the editorial staff of all duties pertaining to finances. There is also a secretary for the magazine and at least a dozen other people on the staff. It takes so many people to tend to all the tasks ( that they cannot all be categorized and credited properly. Just know that we are all giving, and working together, to give our subscribers the most we can, just because we love genealogy. Now for the future. You will notice that the subscription price has gone up to $8.00 per year. This has become necessary due to the rise in cost of printing and postage. Many of you have already sent in $7.00 for 1980, and we will appreciate it if you would send the extra $1.00. Let's hope this will be the last time we'll have to increase. You will find in this issue a section we call "FAMILY GATHERINGS". Many people send us sketches of their family which they hope we will publish. We love having every one of them, but imagine how many pages we would consume if we published each one verbatim. And how many of you would read every word if you had no one of that same name in your lines? So we hope to reach a happy medium by abstracting your manu­ scripts for the magazine and placing your whole copy in a family booklet in our li­ brary. We have one of the most extensive family-name sections of any library around here. This is due to the dedication and perseverence of our Librarian, Louise T. Tyus. She spends hours writing letters to people who have advertised their family books; if they send us a copy as a gift, it is reviewed in our magazine. This collection is growing, and still we have no record of some family names. So, we will continue to accept all family resumes and place them in the "family book" section of our library. Also, if you give us enough Tennessee related, pre-Civil War material, we will give it space in our quarterly••. and love you for sending it. So much for the future: it's really up to you, the subscribers, and us, the volun­ teers to keep going this link with the past. 2 "Ansearchin'" ~ews NEWS AND NOTES FROM OTHER PUBLICATIONS Prepar~d by Mickey Eddlemon THE KENTUCKY GENEALOGIST, James R.

Charles Trevelyan, John Mitchel and the historiography of the Great Famine Christophe GILLISSEN Université de Caen – Basse Normandie The Great Irish Famine produced a staggering amount of paperwork: innumerable letters, reports, articles, tables of statistics and books were written to cover the catastrophe. Yet two distinct voices emerge from the hubbub: those of Charles Trevelyan, a British civil servant who supervised relief operations during the Famine, and John Mitchel, an Irish nationalist who blamed London for the many Famine-related deaths.1 They may be considered as representative to some extent, albeit in an extreme form, of two dominant trends within its historiography as far as London’s role during the Famine is concerned.

Walter REED (1851 - 1902) (1851 - 1902) The University of Virginia in 1869 awarded the degree of Doctor of Medicine to Walter Reed, at the age of 17 the youngest man to graduate from the medical school. Reed continued his training at Bellevue Hospital in New York and at King's County Hospital in Brooklyn. He was commissioned First Lieutenant, Medical Corps, u. s. Army, in 1875, and served initially as sole physician at a frontier post in Arizona. In 1890 Reed was ordered to Baltimore for work in bacteriology and pathology in the laboratories of William H. WELCH. In 1893 he was ordered to duty at the Surgeon General's Office in Washington. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, he served as Chairman of a Committee to study the modes of propagation of typhoid fever. Reed's last and most significant Army assignment was his investigation of the mode of transmission of yellow fever.

  • John Boyle O'reilly - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series John Boyle O'Reilly - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive John Boyle O'Reilly(28 June 1844 - 10 August 1890) John Boyle O'Reilly was an Irish-born poet, journalist and fiction writer. As a youth in Ireland, he was a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, or Fenians, for which he was transported to Western Australia. After escaping to the United States, he became a prominent spokesperson for the Irish community and culture, through his editorship of the Boston newspaper The Pilot, his prolific writing, and his lecture tours. <b>Early Life</b> O'Reilly was born at Dowth Castle, County Meath, near Drogheda in Ireland at the onset of the Great Irish Famine. Ireland was at that time a part of the United Kingdom, and many Irish people bitterly resented British rule. There was a strong nationalist movement. O'Reilly's relatively wealthy family was fiercely patriotic; his mother was closely related to John Allen, who had played an important role in Robert Emmet's rising in 1803. The son of a schoolmaster, O'Reilly received a good early education. When he was about thirteen, his older brother contracted tuberculosis(TB), and O'Reilly took his place as apprentice at a local newspaper. At the age of fifteen, he moved to Preston, Lancashire to live with his aunt and uncle, and took up work on a local newspaper. In June 1861, O'Reilly enrolled in the 11th Lancashire Rifle Volunteers, with which he received some military training. He must have enjoyed military life, because on returning to Ireland in 1863, he enlisted with the 10th Hussars in Dublin.

  • The Great Irish Famine in History-Writing and Prose Fiction ”The Mutual Interplay of Two Narrative Genres”
    This interdisciplinary study analyses three 20th century fictional representa- tions of the Great Irish Famine in relation to nationalist, revisionist, and post-revisionist historical interpretations of the event. It examines how writers of history and fiction respectively portray the causes and consequences of the famine, and particularly how they view the question of responsibility, which is still a matter of contention. Gunilla Bexar asks to what extent the fictional representations reflect or resist | 2016 in History-Writing Fiction Irish and Prose Great The Famine Gunilla Bexar | the interpretations of the historians, and how the two genres attempt to make the experiences of the victims visible to readers. The study provides further Gunilla Bexar historical context by incorporating contemporary eye-witness accounts, offi- cial correspondence, and newspaper reports in the analyses.

  • Irish in Australia
    THE IRISH IN AUSTRALIA. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. AN AUSTRALIAN CHRISTMAS COLLECTIONt A Series of Colonial Stories, Sketches , and Literary Essays. 203 pages , handsomely bound in green and gold. Price Five Shillings. A VERYpleasant and entertaining book has reached us from Melbourne. The- author, Mr. J. F. Hogan, is a young Irish-Australian , who, if we are to judge- from the captivating style of the present work, has a brilliant future before him. Mr. Hogan is well known in the literary and Catholic circles of the Australian Colonies, and we sincerely trust that the volume before us will have the effect of making him known to the Irish people at home and in America . Under the title of " An Australian Christmas Collection ," Mr. Hogan has republished a series of fugitive writings which he had previously contributed to Australian periodicals, and which have won for the author a high place in the literary world of the. Southern hemisphere . Some of the papers deal with Irish and Catholic subjects. They are written in a racy and elegant style, and contain an amount of highly nteresting matter relative to our co-religionists and fellow -countrymen under the Southern Cross. A few papers deal with inter -Colonial politics , and we think that home readers will find these even more entertaining than those which deal more. immediately with the Irish element. We have quoted sufficiently from this charming book to show its merits. Our readers will soon bear of Mr. Hogan again , for he has in preparation a work on the "Irish in Australia," which, we are confident , will prove very interesting to the Irish people in every land.

  • An Autonomous Model of Family Reunification
    THE PLUS ONE POLICY: AN AUTONOMOUS MODEL OF FAMILY REUNIFICATION Jessica Feinberg* ABSTRACT Citizens who share close, important relationships with non-citizens often face significant obstacles if they wish to maintain these relationships permanently within the United States. In order to lawfully immigrate to the United States, non-citizen loved ones must fit within one of the narrowly-defined admission categories estab- lished by the Immigration and Nationality Act. The majority of individuals able to immigrate can do so because they share relationships with U.S. citizens that render them eligible under the “family reunification” admission category. Unfortunately, immigration law’s definition of family includes only relationships that could fit within the “traditional family unit.” Thus, many citizens find themselves unable to reunite with the people they value most. This Article proposes adding a new cate- gory to immigration law’s current family reunification scheme. The “Plus One Pol- icy” would allow an adult U.S. citizen to sponsor one important individual in his or her life who does not fit within any of the pre-existing family reunification provisions. The Plus One Policy seeks to supplement the current purely “bounded model” of family reunification, in which the government decides categorically which relation- ships are most valuable to its citizens, with an “autonomous model,” whereby citi- zens decide for themselves which relationships they value most. Not only would such a model demonstrate that the United States recognizes and respects the wide variety of domestic and global conceptions of family, it would also further the humane and practical goals of family reunification law.

  • Compromise in the Debate Over Slavery by Elias Washburn
    A Nation of Compromise: Compromise in the Debate over Slavery by Elias Washburn 250457762 Graduate Program for American Studies American Studies 9075 Supervisor Professor Nina Maroney 7/15/13 Abstract A Nation of Compromise: Compromise in the Debate Over Slavery Elias Washburn Master of Arts Graduate Program for American Studies University of Western Ontario 2013 Compromise is a defining characteristic of American identity and a complex function that is central to the political process in the United States. Therefore, the study of how and why compromise is reached can provide useful historical insight with contemporary applications. The research, analysis, and discussion of this thesis will focus on two specific examples of compromise in the slavery debate in the United States: the creation of the Gradual Emancipation Act of 1799 in New York and the Compromise of 1850 in the United States Senate. An examination of these historic events provides insight into whose interests are served and the intricacies of compromise in relation to U.S. government and its people. The lessons of compromise generated by the research will be presented through an analysis of the important role of the individuals involved and the implications for those left out of the compromise process and the nation itself. ii Acknowledgements I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Centre of American Studies at the University of Western Ontario for the opportunity to conduct my research. I want to recognize the American Studies Program for its interdisciplinary approach that encourages the incorporation of different perspectives in research and discussion, which has helped guide and inform my graduate studies and thesis.
