I am trying to find information on a John Powers, his wife Margaret McNamara Powers, and their son Edward Powers. Edward Powers was born in County Wexford on 4 Feb 1847. He did not come to the US with his parents but remained in Wexford until 1862 when he arrived in America on 7 Apr 1862; His parents, Father - John Powers b. abt 1825, Mother - Margaret McNamara b. abt 1826, came to America sometime between 1847 and 1852. Any information on any member of this family, ideas on how and where else to check, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Rick White

Hi Rick, I have Maria McNamara (b. about 1859) as my great grandmother, married John J O'Donnell in Denver, Colorado February 16, 1881. I don't know anything about her siblings or where in Ireland Maria (perhaps Marie or Mary) McNamara came from, so don't know if there's a connection to your line. Maria and John O'Donnell had six children in Colorado: Maurice, Nora, Margaret, Minnie, John and Mary. Let me know if you think there's any connection, or if you come across anything. Good luck.

Hi Kathleen, Thank you for replying. My McNamara I believe came to America under her married name Margaret Powers and was traveling with her husband, John Powers. They settled in the Town of Springport, Cayuga County, New York. I don't know about any siblings as of now but if I find any I'll let you know.

Hi Rick have you tried checking out Newfoundland sights. My grandfather had an Uncle named Edward Power whose wife was born in 1859. (notice no S at the end of Power). My ancestors who moved to Newfoundland all came from the Wexford area.

Hi Maurice, Thank you for responding. No I haven't check any Newfoundland sites, if fact, I'm not sure where to look but I will try to find them. Are they a part of the rootsweb system?

Yes Rick I believe they are. Here is a website for the information you can research on historical records for the province of Newfoundland. Some records go back into the 1800's. People have been transcribing information to this site for years. There are various list that you can join. On the south east coast of the province is an area called the "Irish Loop." http://ngb.chebucto.org/ Maurice ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick & Evvy White" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 9:50 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-WEXFORD] Researching Powers and McNamara > Hi Maurice, Thank you for responding.
