This site is under construction. I started it on Saint Patrick's Day, 2006. Ironic that although I have a good Irish name, I can't prove that I'm Irish! While much of my genealogy research has been done online, I've been able to get information from other sources as well, including census documents, the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, and of course the personal accounts of family members. The research has taken place over about ten years. Please note that my research is concentrated on my paternal side. My mother, Paula, is working on her family. Geographically, we are from New Brunswick, Maine, Massachusetts (in particular, Danvers), and Nova Scotia. |
