Comments:Heather - was delighted to see a letter from my father ( Principal of Erganagh Primary School ) dated 1954 in connection with one of your ancestors. I never knew until now that my Grandfather was born c1844 and died 1922. So that has been a pleasure for me to get this information. My father's name was George , not Roger as his signature appeared to suggest. I was at school with Willie McAskie who lived near Drumlegagh, C'derg. He ended up 40 years later as a neigbour of mine in Hillsborough. I think he is in Newtownards now. Best wishes - Ted Sloan ( Lisburn )

Comments:I am in the process of writing an essay on my grandmother, Rowena Langran, who was the daughter of Eva Macaskie, who in turn was the daughter of Charles F.C. Macaskie. I have been reading the book "Shadows in the Mist" for inspiration, and thought I'd try the web to see if there's any further information, particularly about Charles F.C., who seems to have been quite a colourful person!

Comments:One of my maternal great-great-great-grandfathers, John Allen, reportedly moved to Portinode townland in County Fermanagh, Ulster from the Castlederg area, County Tyrone. On January 14, 1840, he married my great-great-great- grandmother, Eleanor "Ellen" Loan Myles, a widow from Drumhullen parish, County Fermanagh and a daughter of James Loan, at the Drumkeeran parish church in northwest County Fermanagh. Afterward, they resided in Portinode townland, which is near Boa Island. Their first child, George Allen, was one of my maternal great-great-grandfathers. I live in San Diego, CA, USA and have many paternal and maternal cousins in England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

Comments:I am from the USA branch of the McCaskie family and am just beginning to try to get information about my father's family. I only have a copy of my fathers enlistment papers from WWII and his marriage and death certificates. I have a long way to go and no idea how to start. Although I am living in CA I think the family originally was in the NY area and moved to the Newark area of NJ in the mid 1800's. If you have any suggestions for me I would love to have them. Thank You, Martha M Carson

Comments:Could not believe that I had found this site. At last have connected to other McAskies. My mother was a MCCaskie. I have been seaching on the web for 2 years. I am a direct descendant of John McCaskie(son of James M'Askie & Ann Moore)who came to Australia from Ardstraw in 1841. All mine are known as McCaskie. Where's hoping to connect to many more.
