Find Ancestors

ON HOLD FOR NOW UNTIL NEXT WEEK AS I'M NOT AROUND DAWN :-) Hi Everyone I can do searches of LDS immigration voyages to the US 1840 - 1890. Info available personal voyage accounts (diary entries), The European Emigration Card Index, European mission registers, LDS publications and custom lists.

Please include as much info as you can. It looks like most of these voyages are with church groups. You never know your family might have travelled over like this. PLEASE NO PRIVATE MESSAGES. THEY WILL BE IGNORED AS THEY KEEP FILLING MY INBOX UP, SORRY. Other look ups available BVRI, Scottish Church Records (Birth, Marriage and Parent late 1500s to 1854) and Royal Lancaster Volunteer Regiment 1779 - 1782. Please use relivant threads. Thanks Dawn :-)

Hello Dawn I have been trying to trace a Constance Dagmar SEMMENCE who went to America.She was born c1869 and married an American ,believe they met when he was over here and she sailed home with him and married there.His name was Lionel Henry FREMANTLE. They had 4 children between 1890 and 1896 in America but she returned home a widow by 1899. Cant trace them so cant find area where children were born in America. Thanks Deborah

Hi Dawn Thankyou for the kind offer. I am looking for 3 people. Robert Barry born c1840's in County Meath (Roman Catholic) Peter Barry born 1847 County Meath (Roman Catholic) - beleive they left Ireland around the 1860's. Jerry (Jermiah) O'Mahoney (Mahoney) born c1824 arrived in USA in either 1868 or 1869 with his wife Mary and children John, Michael, Mary and Jerry. All from Irleland possible Cork, they settled in Minnesota. Any informatoin would be great. Danielle

Thank you for this offer, Dawn. I am hoping to find out if Daniel PEAK,married, a sawyer b. c. 1836, from England, on the 1880 US census in Pennsylvania could be the same Daniel that I have missing from 1881 census in England, ie. not with his wife and family. 'My' Daniel was also married, born c.1835 and a sawyer and was later in England. Judging by his children's ages, he would have travelled to U.S.after 1873.

Dawn Never mind. Thank you so much for looking for Daniel. Gwyn

Hi Dawn, Thank you for your very kind offer, i have a family who seem to have disappeared after the 1881 census, could you please check them for me against your records. They are;- Thomas Heslop B.c1858 was a plumber. Wife`s name was Margaret Heslop B.c1859, one child as far as i know and he was called Walter Heslop b.1880, i have no other information but it`s a mystery i hope you can help me solve, cheers derek,,...

Thanks for looking, perhaps she went off in a space ship!!!! Deborah

Hi Dawn, WOW!! Thankyou so much my eyes were agog!! seeing all that information. Wonderful I can`t thankyou you enough. I shall now go and have another read..... and take it all in. Again many kind thanks, Best wishes, Helen

Hi Dawn, Ah well, it was worth a try, i do appreciate you taking the time to have a look for me, thanks very much, now it`s back to scratching my head again ! cheers derek,,...

Dawn, thanks for your offer. Can you see what you can find on the following men: John Darlison age 25 and Mr. Bacon (first name and age unknown) left Liverpool mid April 1859. They sailed on an American vessel - the Jeremiah Thompson. They landed in New York approx 3 weeks later. From the ship they were taken to a place called Castle Garden. If your records are searchable by name, could you check for a Thomas Darlison who went to the US, joined the Confederate Army and fought in the Civil War. (Sorry, don't know what date he emigrated). Also, Jonas Charles Darlison born c1850 who emigrated to the US. He was a mason in New York, and lived in Orange, New Jersey. He married and had two daughters by 1883, so that may narrow down his arrival to the 1870's. Margaret

Thanks for trying. Margaret
