My HARTES are originally from Scotland and Ireland, and eventually settled in Massachusetts. Any of this sound familiar to anyone out there? My great-grandfather, Patrick J. HARTE (1871-1911) was 1 of 5 siblings born to Ellen Harte and (unknown father) Harte. His other siblings were Mary (or Marie), Bernard, Delia, Michael. They were probably from GURTEEN Ireland (either Sligo or Mayo or Galway, not sure). Patrick J. Harte married Margaret HIGGINS, and they had 6 children: Alice Harte (1895-1907) Agnes Harte (1902-1994) (married a HEALY; 2 children) George Hart (1897-1965) (George dropped the "E" in Harte; married, but no children) Joseph Harte (b+d 1910) Francis Harte (b+d 1905) Helen Hazel Harte (1907-1998) (married a MARTIN; 3 children) -- Ilse Martin researching HARTE, HIGGINS, FINN, JORDAN, DERVAN, MARTIN, BROWN
