Find Ancestors

Havent we all been there...!

The McEvoy's aren't so difficult but the Harvett (variations) is not a name found easily...there was however a Joseph Harvet and family emigrated to the US in the '40s so its probable the surname...(wherever/however it originated....some in Co Tipp.)...eventually began to disappear from Ireland....

No I dont know what happened to her sister. This link of our tree is all very new and exciting! To be honest I only found out she was a relative on Saturday! I had a completely differnet person listed. Was given a lot of old family papers and photos and discovered my error when I found her marriager certificate. Don't know how I had it wrong as its so obvious now, one of those things i suppose!

Victoria...Your welcome....Do you have any idea what happened to Margaret sister of Mary...?
There is a Death listed for a Margaret 1916 aged 19 years Abbeyleix....(b1897)

Wow! Thank you! Sorry ben busy and havn't had a chance to check back, this all seems spot on! Fantastic! I didnt really think any info would be found as I have had such issues with another Irish link. Thanks again!

You are welcome - good luck with it!

Thank you - will do that! Thanks for your help x

Try amending your heading to include 'Irish research needed' or something similar.

There is a lady called eringobragh who is great at this sort of thing!!

I don't know much about Irish research I am afraid.

Thank you, so looks like she lost her mum very young and her dad shortly after then.

She is there again in 1911 - living with her aunt Margaret.
