Smcarberry, Thanks for your reply and suggestions. I have maintained my tree in Ancestry with the links to sources and images. Why Ancestry for no other reason that where I started. I do have a tree in Family Search. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/memories/GMDF-L7Q I just updated the “Memo...

Hi All! I have a little egg on my face. For number of reasons I just picked up again and started reading the Forum. Much to my surprise I have realized that you continued your research on Patrick of Oil City. This discussion is from last August, pg 40 and 41 of this Forum. I have a marriage cert fro...

We have over 170 members from all over the world. We also have a GEDmatch group of the same name. It...

Sheila, thank you so much for your reply. To answer your question, we do not have anything that ties my GG Grandfather except a bible registry. We have no record of any siblings, no travel back to Ireland. No family history of knowing Patrick parents and on Patrick’s death certificate parents are “u...

I am looking for a Patt of Patt McNamara and Norry Murry baptized in Caher Feakle, March 1846. The sponsors were Martin and Biddy McNamara. Martin and Biddy lived at parcel 45 in Glendree per Griffith’s. I also have a 1826 marriage record for Martin McNamara and Bridget Foley all of Glandree. https:...
