Thank you for your replies. I shall have a good look at the Irish census. The info i have to go of is quite sketchy so i'm just trying to muddle my way through really.

Hello Gareth, welcome to the boards.

To find out if anyone has links to the family then you need to use the "Search Trees" facility under Search on the menu above. Only a very small minority of Genes members use these boards.

If you'd like some help with your research then give names and ages and whatever else you know.

I am trying to find the family of my grandparents. I have had some luck and have made contact with a relative from the Mccann family but would love to know more about the others.

If anyone might have any links to these families, please let me know.

Regards :-)
