Hi Sharon Sorry, I can't be of help to you; but I'm hoping you may be able to help me. I'm interested in Smeltzers of Kilcooly. My g-g-g grandfather was William Smeltzer who married a Mary Bible. Their 1st son was born c 1838. The last child was named Catherine. (They had 9 children) Do you think there maybe some connection between your Catherine and William Smeltzer? Any help and info will be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Melissa -----Original Message----- From: Sharon Smith [mailto:moonshadow35@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, 18 January 2005 5:26 AM To: IRL-PALATINE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [IP] Young family Hi everyone, I haven't been on for awhile, and thought I would send out my plea on my Young family from Kilcooly Tipperary. Im looking for any information on 3 known brothers John Young the eldest then Joseph and Henry. John Young married Catherine Smeltzer in Kilcooly and all 3 brothers moved to Canada sometime between 1828 and 1830. I have the information on them in Canada, but nothing about them in Ireland or who their parents were. Im assuming their father was John and mother Elizabeth as that is how these 3 brothers named their first children. If anyone has anything on these brothers please contact me. Im also assuming they had other brothers or sisters due to the 15 year difference in age between John and Henry. Henry is my GG-Grandfather.
