Hi All, I was surprised to find the reference to my book "The Laverty Generations". I sent a copy to the LDS several years ago, also PANB and the Woodstock Library. I had read that the Mormons were endeavouring to put their records online but did not know my book was there. Thanks to Jared for finding the book in the Family History Archives of Brigham Young University and to Bill for finding my gg grandfather in Toner's book. The name is sometimes spelled LAFFERTY. Now if I could only find the trail back to Ireland!
