I am new to this site and not very good with the computer. I will try your advice to try to locate my grandfathers birth certificate. I do not know his birth date but it has to be in the early 1900's. I was told the information about a birth that long ago might come from his church. Thanks again I will keep searching I might end up finding relatives from Ireland who might know. Take care, Pete Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
