As a list we are now 24 hours old! We already have 20 members but seems like everyone is lurching in the background. How about we all get started and tell about our BOYLE ancestor. I'll start with mine. John BOYLE, b 1798 Kilkenny Ireland, married Jane BOOTH also from Kilkenny both emigrated to Thorald, Canada close to Niagara Falls around 1830-40's. I don't know what John's occupation was since when I found him in the 1871 census he was retired. After doing a search on the Griffith's Evaluation, I found both BOOTHs and BOYLEs in the Castlecomer area of Kilkenny, so that is where I will start looking for their records when I visit in July. At the census time both said they were Welseyan Methodists. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pat (Patraigin) Connors, California Siochain Leat (peace be with you) Researching: Connors/O'Connor, McEntee, Campbell, Flynn/O'Flynn, Smith, Phillips, Carter, Boyle, O'Rourke, Healey, Cullinan, Hoare, Todd, Owen, Booth http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/c/o/n/Pat-Connors/ mailto:[email protected] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
