2018-10-31 Thread Jim McKane via CoTyroneList 
Hello Listers - just to let you know, our hardworking volunteers have now
indexed over 64.000 names from the site into the database.

Even though this is still only the "tip of the iceberg", we are sure making
headway.

Hopefully, you are finding this tool useful??

Should you wish to help out, please email me directly at 

Regards
Jim

For those of a sentimental inclination, the stirabout pot gets a mention in the 
splendid cheesy old Percy French song: “The Emigrant’s letter” (sometimes known 
as Cutting the Corn in Creeslough) written some time about 1890, about sailing 
as an emigrant from Derry to Quebec.

Hello Listers,

Following on from the items extracted from the Ordnance Survey Memoirs covering 
the habits and food of our Tyrone forebears, some clarification will be useful 
as to stirabout and flummery having received several off list queries:

STIRABOUT is a porridge made from oatmeal or cornmeal boiled in milk or water 
and stirred

FLUMMERY is a soft jelly or porridge made with flour or meal
