Surnames: Welch Welsh Gavin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3h.2ADE/1486 Message Board Post: I am looking for information about Anna Welsh or Welch who is either my grgrgrandmother or my grgr-stepgrandmother. She was born around 1835 in Ireland, came to New Albany between 1848 and 1860 (most likely date around 1855), married a man named ? Welsh/Welch shortly after her arrival, later married Anthony Gavin probably in Holy Trinity Catholic Church in New Albany (before 1870). There were three children: John Francis Welch (my great grandfather), Michael Welsh, and Anna Welch/Welsh. With multiple marriages and different spellings of her last name, this one has been very tough to trace. I don't even know my grgrgrandfather's name. Any info would be much appreciated. Mary S
