As you have probably seen from the website our next scheduled
MacDermot Clan Gathering is for 1999, the weekend of August 15th.
It will take place in Boyle, Co. Roscommon, Ireland - this is
at the heart of old Moylurg.
There is a possibility of a McDermott day out next year in
Montreal, I believe. Look out for further details.
As far as MacDermot t shirts, jumpers etc. we are investigating
the feasibility of doing something, but nothing is available yet.
I think that we should be in a position to start offering
garments for sale next year sometime. Once more - watch this
space.

In reply to: Edmund McDermott
Many people have wondered about the origin of our Coat of Arms.
It is in fact one of several which have been used throughout
the years, and whilst it is now currently accepted as being
the true MacDermot Coat of Arms there have been several
variations upon the theme.
It would take up too much space on the Notice Board to go
into great detail, so I shall write an article for The Library
in the next week or so.
Keep your eyes peeled !

My McDermott's are:
Father: John A. McDermott (Scranton, PA)
Grandfather: Archibald A. McDermott (Scranton, PA)
G-Grandfather: John Francis McDermott (Palo Alto, PA)
GG-Grandfather: John Cassidy McDermott (Rush, PA)
GGG-Grandfather: Francis MacDermott (Ireland)
John Cassidy McDermott was born near Tempo Co Fermanagh
in 1818. He sailed to NYC in the summer of 1839 on the
sailing ship Powhattan. His father Francis left Ireland
in 1847 and settled in Port Carbon PA.
In September of 1993, my wife and I went to Tempo and
were able, with help, to find the remains of the McDermott
FarmHouse. It was a great conclusion to years of research.
I am more than willing to share my research with others to
expand on my quite-wide family tree. Looking through the
MacDermott Clan homepage; I see very few McDermotts who
came from Co. Fermanagh.

As mentioned in "Ireland of the Welcomes" magazine (Vol. 43
No. 2 March-April 1994), the MacDermot motto has been
variously translated: "Honor probataque virtus" (honor
and approved valor) and "Honor et virtus" (Honor and virtue).
I have also seen a Mcdiarmid motto of "Amicis Semper Fidelis"
(to friends ever true).
The arms of the MacDermots of Coolavin feature a boar's-head
motif which may be related to Irish romance ("Toraigheacht
Dhiarmada agus Ghrainne"...the pursuit of Dermot and
Grainne) in which Grainne, bethrothed to the hero Fionn mac
Cumhaill, elopes instead with Dermot. Fionn's pursuit of
the lovers through the country ends when Dermot is killed
by the great boar of Ben Bulben in Co. Sligo.

Are there other McDermotts (Dermody) doing research on
their family lines who have ancestors from County Westmeath-
especially Mullingar? My great grandfather came from there. I
believe other McDermotts from there (siblings, cousins) came
as well.

In reply to: McDermot family page
I just had received a letter from Felicity today 9/4/97..
so it is not archival. I should have mentioned that
Nellie Dillon was from Ballaghadarreen. Also relatives
who had auburn hair supposedly got that from the McDermot
side. Bartholomew is such an unusual name. Does anyone
else have that name of whom you have heard?
Isn't E-Mail marvelous. Regards,

In reply to: Felicity McDermott
Was in Ireland looking up my Dillon family history. My great-great grandmother
was Nellie Dillon who married Bartholomew McDermott. I don't have a birthdate
for Bartholomew but he married Nellie (Ellin) in February 1841.
They had eight children. On April 5, 1859 he was thrown from a horse and
killed, his last child being born one month after his death. Nellie remarried
and emigrated to the U.S. with all the children. I hope to learn more.
Nellie was so proud of her Dillon ancestry and we have several members down
to the present generation who have Dillon as a middle name.
Felicity told me about you.
Thank you,

Greetings Cousins!
I don't know if this belongs here or not, but I thought some of you might
be interested in seeing the new website that I recently created (I'm a beginner
at this, so I hope it works
well for you). It is called "Coolavin's Forest" (for obvious reasons) and
may be located at:
http://members.aol.com/coolavin/index.html
It is still undergoing construction, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised
at the amount of resources there
.
If you like it, or have suggestions for improvements or additions, please
feel free to e-mail me with the information.
Thanks for looking at it! :)
