Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've been able to do any research on the McAleer side of my family but I would like to thank everyone that has helped with their advice so far. I have recently created a Facebook page in an effort to gather as many 'McAleers' together in the virtual world as possible, share information and stories of their ancestry in the hope of breaking down some walls to find out how we are all connected. If anyone on this list is interested in joining, you can do by visiting and liking my page here. www.facebook.com/mcclearfamilyhistory It's in it's infancy at the moment so I would love you to share if you have time. Thanks again for your help and advice. You guys are doing an awesome job!
