I am trying to locate some information on my G-G-grandmother Ellen Magnor. She was born 26 June 1811 in the parish of Bandon, County Cork, Ireland, where she spent her childhood and girlhood, She married John Leahy there about 1833. A son Dennis was born in 7 Aug 1834. They left about 1836 for Canada, New York, Mass. and finally settling in Wisconsin. I know nothing of her family in Ireland which is the reason for this inquiry.

Hi saw your posting on the Magner web site. Made me wonder if we are connected, because I descend from a Sarah (Sally) Magner (d/o) John Magner) from Bourbon County, KY. John is (s/o) Edward Magner. Also, I have the name Zelleck in my family. If you think we are connected please let me know.

Thanks,

Jeannie

Hi there,

I'm trying to compile information about the Magners for relatives of mine. I found Tom Magner's Web page very informative. I was wondering if you knew where I could find the Magner Coat of Arms on the Web. Otherwise, could I have a detailed description of the coat of arms? I could then paint it myself. I have a book on Irish family names and their coats of arms but unfortunately the Magner name is not included.

Thanks in advance.

Jim, The luck of the Irish was with me I found my roots in East Cork, in the parish of Middleton. Your County Cork churches were a great help, now I have a question as to how I go about finding out all about this parish, I hear it has a great Brewery! Sincerely Shirley Anne

I am seeking the family of Honor Barry & Thomas Magner, married in Cork in 1831. I have the list of children all seven of them. Hanora and Honor and some of her children came to Boston while the kids were under 18. Son David Magner 1834-1904 married Ellen McDonald in Boston and had six more Magners. One daughter, Mary Clare married Frederick Peter Davis in 1893 in Boston. I am not aware of any of the Magners leaving Boston. I would like to connect the dots with other Magner's with roots in the Boston area.

Hi Jim. My g-grandfather John came to the U.S. in the middle 1800's I think, and settled in western NY, I believe. The first and only record I have seen of him is the 1900 NY census, John and his wife Marie and children in Medina, NY. Thank you for your consideration.

Have you ever heard of a Dennis Magner from the 19th century who was a famous horse trainer and author? He wrote a book entitled, "The Classic Encyclopedia of the Horse". First printing was 1887, I have a reprint, printed 1980. I don't believe I have seen him mentioned on the web page. Jim

I have stepped into the genealogy pool and find that the water is very deep!

I come from the line of Magners on my grandmother’s side of the family. I can trace back only to Jeremiah Magner who was born in Ireland in 1809. Is there any way I can obtain a list of all Jeremiah Magner's that were born in Ireland, in 1809? I hope to find out who his father and mother were and then go as far back as I can. The Jeremiah Magner that I am talking about settled in McKinney, Texas (USA) and married Sarah E. Searcy on October 7, 1829.

If you can, direct me to where I might locate this information. I feel confident that if I can make this connection, I will be able to drain some of the water from this pool! Thank you for any assistance you can provide. Sincerely,

Michael Magner White, Dallas, Texas 75287

Mike,

Jumping in the water is only half the fun, Irish genealogy you will find is one of the most interesting and frustrating hobbies you can find.

Tracing records before 1860 in Ireland is difficult at best. Another factor was the reluctance of families to register their children. During that era a fine was imposed if a family failed to register within 30 days of a birth. Due to the population being mainly farmers they did not often make it into the towns to register. When they did find the time and means to get to town they would register and perhaps stretch the dates a bit to avoid problems. This is one of the reasons for the many discrepancies with Irish date records

The years prior to 1864 are difficult to find. Some available sources are the Tithes Applotments and Griffth's Index give or take a few years depending on the townland. Grave-markers available mainly in books, some are on line, Mallow Research Centre may be able to give you a listing for Jeremiah Magner's but only for portions [not all] of Cork. In your case not knowing the county could be an expensive and not too rewarding a task. Church record are sometimes available via snail mail but are often not timely nor responsive.

My records indicate Magners were heavy in County Cork, than Tipperary and Limerick with Claire and Dublin carrying a few. I proberly have the largest collection of Magner data available but I clearly do not have it all so searching for unknown sources can be rewarding.

Ireland had a fire during its war for independence that resulted in many records being burned at the capital building. A loss that hurt everyone. The National Archives in Ireland have some records but accessing is again difficult. Short of a trip across the pond and then only with prior confirmed reservations you must have good information available up front. They do offer a search but I understand that good records are necessary up front and you must obtain a access number or Call Number for the person you are searching.

The MAIN KEY to Irish genealogy is to have a clear and definite understanding of the Townland (Place name) that the person was born. Other than that you will find you really don't know which Magner you are searching.

I have the following:

1. Jeremiah Magner born 1809 Ireland (No Place-name or county listed)
2. Jeremiah Magner married Susan E Searcy Clay Missouri, October 7, 1829 [could be him]
3. Jeremiah Jerry Magner Born August 1873, McKinney, Collin County, Texas [could be a grandson] Died March 1, 1845, McKinney, Collin County, Texas
4. Parents John Magner and Sara Ann Elizabeth McDuffie
5. Jeremiah Jerry Magner Married: Mattie Steel, McKinney, Collin County, Texas, December 2, 1914 [could be a great grand son]

Same family???

I assume you have looked at the Magner page for possible sources http://www.magner.org

keep in touch, Jim Magner

I would also note that Major General Jeremiah Magner was from the Cork City area

PS: I would love to see what information you have available for your Magners prior to the 1900s.

Jim,

Thank you for the speedy and informative reply. Somehow I knew this was not going to be easy. It looks like your years of research has really paid off... for the rest of us! I appreciate your help.

The Jeremiah Magner you reference IS my great, great grandfather. The other information you cite is also correct. I sure know better than most that going forward is the easy road. Traveling back in time is the tough way to go. I am just getting started but I have attached what I have so far. If you do not have Microsoft Excel, let me know and I will fax or snail mail it to you. Just send that destination info and I will let 'er rip. Until then, "Howdy" from "Big D" in the great (hot) State of Texas. Thanks again for you interest and help.

Searching = Germany

Hello my name is Nathan Magner, and I am really suprised to find out that the Magner name is Irish. My grandfather is German, from Shleswig Germany. He was taken prisoner in France during WW2 and brought to the U.S. returned to Germany after the war, then came back to the U.S. in 1949. This side of the family can only be traced back to his great grandparents. Can anyone help with a search in Germany?

Thank You Nathan

Hi Jim, sorry it took awhile for me to get back to you. This is CiCi, I'm Mikki's sister. On your web site I was looking for a family tree - perhaps I'm just not getting it. Although you have a lot of data! , I was thinking I might find my Magner by looking at a list of individuals or a decadency chart. Your response suggests that perhaps you don't have our folks in your database. Hope I'm not making more work for you. We just started collecting info a couple of months ago. Here's what I do know (not all info has been verified):

John LaRue m Mary Stewart, probably around 1814

Son John La Rue b1814, Albany, NY married: unknown Helms circa: 1839

2 children: Enslee Benoni LaRue b:1842, MI probably

Harriet Eliza LaRue b: 1844, MI probably

Enslee married Kate Coon - 1 surviving child Frank H. LaRue

Frank married Elsie May Payne, 1913 - 1 child May

May married James William Robinson 1939 (our parents)

Harriet married Daniel Magner, son of William Magner and Margrett, in Lockport or Lakeport, NY. At least one child: Charles B (?) Magner

Sorry I can't be more specific on the dates. I'm including the URL for our website in case you want to look further. Hope this helps, and hope you run across something that will help us.
