Family history

 

Hi Ada,

 

Thank you for your message. I hope that someone who has been researching these same lines makes a connection with you and can shed some light on what happened to Peter?s siblings.

 

Have you tried looking up the names in Griffith?s Valuation? This is a property valuation survey that was carried out in Ireland between 1848 and 1864. Although it does not give any genealogical information, if you can find any of the siblings in it (and depending on how many results are returned for your search) it may give you a starting point for your research. You can search these here:

Also have you tired looking for them at https://familysearch.org/ ? This is a huge database of genealogical records that have been complied by the Church of the Latter Day saints. Perhaps you may be lucky and find a marriage/death record or even a baptismal record where they are listed as parents.

 

You could also do a search of http://www.rootsireland.ie/, however please be aware that this is a paying website.
