Hi, My name is Velma Dalton Boudreau, Newfoundland, Canada. I have spent a number of years trying to make the connection between our line of Daltons and Daltons from County Cork, where family lore tells us, they originated from. They left Ireland around 1750 and came to Newfoundland, presumably to fish. There is a long history of shipbuilders and carpenters in my family as well. They originally settled in the little town of Western Bay, which is located in Conception Bay. From there some moved to Little Catalina in Trinity Bay (my family), in the early 1800s.Prominent names are Matthew, James, John, Phillip and George. Our family is Protestant. Whether they were before they left Ireland, we are not sure. If there is anyone out there with info that may connect up with my family, I would love to hear from you.
