Hello, We are searching for McNeills originally from Ireland>Ontario Canada, then on to Minnesota, with some remaining there, and some returning to Ontario, Canada. This family were Catholic. Parents James McNEILL, b. Ireland; married Mary VANCE, b. 1816 Ireland with the following children: Mary Ann; Joseph (my husband's direct line) married Mary BOURKE/BURKE; Margaret; John T; Theresa; James; Eliza; and Edmund -- all born in Ontario Canada. Would like to learn about the siblings families, ie. names of spouses and children, dates etc. Thank you for your time. Marybeth C. northeast Ohio acmbjc@aol.com

> > >searching for McNeills originally from Ireland>Ontario Canada, > Have you searched the family through the censuses, both US and Canada? I would try that first and then try to find records in the places they lived. You would be surprised how much info is available in Canada. I had the occasion to visit the public library in St Catherine's and they had a whole section of the library dedicated to genealogy research. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by ZoneAlarm AntiVirus
