Over the weekend I was helping my girlfriend go through boxes in hopes of finding a packet of her older family pictures. We found a manila envelope with an assortment of papers. It was one of those serendipitous moments! The papers included the DAR file that one member of the family had copied & sent to a great aunt, a few pages of family members with kids & vital statistics, a letter from the 1830s & another gem or two.
The DAR file was the crown jewel. The pages took the family back to Ireland in 1774, fleshed out a few later generations & added a family or two.
Much of the info I had put together from various sources. The Ireland story is new, as is quite a bit of the data.
Now to verify the new material! I hope the names start getting spelled with uniformity! [lol]
Brady = Bradie in the marriage record & the first & middle names of the groom are transposed [Murphy Malone should be Malone Murphy.]
Murphy = Murfohey in another.
Parthenia = Parchena in yet another.
