I've been looking for JOHN GIBSON who left Fermanagh area for Canada in 1844-48. I have never been able to find him. What is this magic Shirley Immigration papers you mention, would you please look and see if he could be on the list. What about BEATTY GRAHAM and wife JANE MC SHAY immigrated to NY about 1820s sometime from Monaghan, he too is impossible to find over there. Would be extremely grateful for any help. I'm slowly falling apart and am now writing my family history so that I have proof of what stories I have told my family for so many years. Evelyn in Oceanside, San Diego Co, CA.
