In reply to Jane's posting 23 Jan 2006, <Jane said> "This is my first posting to the list: I am try to connect the Porters who settled in Ballyduff and Manvers in Cavan, Durham county" Looks like you got lucky with your first posting Jane, There are 2 Harrisons, 30 Porter and 249 Byers individuals and related families recorded in the searchable database of my family tree in my Genealogy Webpages. ****Some of these appear to be the connections you're looking for***** Please contact me off list and I will be happy to share information with you. I'm making this reply to the list in case any other members are also interested in families from that area of Ontario. All my Irish ancestors first settled within 40 miles of my old hometown of Peterborough. Dave Ingram Chemainus BC.
