Surnames: Byrne, Byrn Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Jg.2ADI/1341 Message Board Post: Searching for information on Michael Byrne and brothers that settled in JoDaviess by the 1830's. Made several land purchases in the 30's. Was still living in East Galena for the 1860 census. Brothers were probably Philip and William. Can someone furnish insight. I believe Michael had two families including son Jacob from family one.
