Dear Vldg, Since Montcrief seems to be a rare name I searched for it at Castlegarden.org which shows immigrants coming in through New York. The results, from 1820-1913 showed 2 young ladies, probably sisters, arriving on the same ship on the same day.

For some time now I have been a member of the County Monaghan email list. After reading many of the Archives, have decided to ask for some help. I do know that the name Moncrief is rather unusual but also know that my direct family was from Cremone, Aughamullen Parish, Co. of Monaghan. (I have a copy of a civil marriage record for my gg uncle John Moncrief to Elizabeth Timlin - 4, 1, 1847. (also have had many professionals finding them on Griffin's Valuation.) My family all came into Philadelphia, PA, USA between 1852-59 and all settled in Phoenixville, PA. John's father's name was CHARLES MONCRIEF - no mother's name How can I find out whether the following are siblings? 1 - KATHERINE - my 2nd great-grandmother b. c. 1819 - m. bef. 1844 -JOHN SPOTTEN (another name I can't find except on the GriffinsVal,) 2 - CHARLES MONCRIEF - b.6 -?- 1821/22 3 - HUGH MONCRIEF - b. c. 1825 m.Susan Jefferies 12, 27, 49 in USA 4 - JOHN MONCRIEF - b. 1828 - m. Eliz. Timlin 1847. have record ARE THERE ANY MONCRIEFs or SPOTT*Ns LEFT IN IRELAND? I have so much information about each of the above persons (generations up to the present) I would like to share.............................vldg ******************************************** **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.
