My Name Is Bob Guiheen. I am looking to meet relatives of Peig Sayers. My Grandmother was Helen. She was born on the Blasket Islands and moved to the us.-in the early 1900"s. Please contact my email rguiheen285@earthlink.net There are some of us located in New England.
Hi,
Is this the Peg Sayers you are researching?
Can you place some dates on the info you provided? Did Helen have a different last name? Did her siblings stay on Blasket Island?
Regards- Mary
Was Helen's last name Guiheen? This might be her sister.
