Well List, especially Nadine and Dawn, I discovered the same note under the same rock and I hit a bonanza! I, too, am a ggrandson of Patrick. I have copied the adult descendants of Patrick Edward Doyle, including Steve Albert (the author of the note you found). For those of you copied, if you are interested, you can join this List for Leadville & Lake County, CO. Just send a message to the address and ask how to join. it's free) Jack -----Original Message----- From: Dawn Hux [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, December 09, 2000 4:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [COLAKE] Roll Call I read with interest your posting. My ancestors were also from County Wicklow and then went to Cleator Moor and then Leadville. James Doyle, Elizabeth Burns, and Susan Burns were listed as godparents to my family members with the surnames of NOLAN, MARR, and McCALL. All three surnames are buried in the Leadville cemetery. Do my Doyle, and Burns/Byrnes relate to any of your family members?
