Fermoyle ancestors by Mark Aidan Bergin posted 3/21/01 2:11:34 AM We are trying to find a branch of our family tree. John Fermoyle (Born 1824) is supposed to have left Ireland with his parents (father was also named John Fermoyle, mother was Bridget Carroll) in 1833. They reportedly lived in County Laois but we can find no links in County Laois, prior to emigration to Caanda, for the Fermoyle family. Do you have any suggestions on how to follow up on this research. mabergin@home.com <mabergin@home.com> ..........................................

I am looking for any ancestors, decendants of, and info about the HONNER family of Laois, Ireland. My immediate family was from Mountrath (Rosecelton Church has many records on them I hear) with cousins in Mountmellick also. Of course there are also branches of the family in Tipperary, Dublin, Waterford, and Cork (the old family)... with many variations of spelling (Honor, Honnor, Honour in England, and the original Huguenot Honore). Would appreciate an email if anyone out there has any info or ties! I have an HONNER website with tons o' info & family trees, and would be happy to share. Thanks, Maryjane Stelmach Honner Canton, Michigan, USA mjonhermusheen@voyager.net
