Hi Al, The Burns family that I am researching is from Waddington, NY. William and family came across from Canada c.a. 1839. I have quite a bit of information on the children mainly the one son, Barney, from whom the branch I am interested in has continued. What I am trying to determine is where they lived in Canada, where their port of entry into Canada from Ireland was and where they came from in Ireland. So, I'm attempting to find sources for immigration ports in the year 1831 or thereabouts. If you'd have any suggestions or information on that segment of the research I'd be most appreciative. Thanks!
