Hi Erica: Thanks for your reply. You should be able to reach Dillon McGee at dillon.mcgee@sympatico.ca . I hope that you can connect with the Hearty family. I hope to add more pioneers from County Armagh to Canada within the next few days. Several of the 1851 census takers over here carefully recorded the County of Origin in Ireland of the families from Armagh and sometimes recorded the names of parishes or townlands. When I find more, I'll add them to the table at www.bytown.net/armaghtocanada.htm . If anyone on this list has family connections to Canada (or the USA) before 1850, I'd be glad to hear from them. If you would like to have a web page on my site about pre-1850 families, just send me a short history of your family in an e-mail and I'll set up a dedicated page for you. My web site gets a lot of hits from researchers all over North America. There was heavy Irish migration to Canada between 1820 and 1855. After 1847, many just took advantage of the cheaper shipping fares to Canada and eventually moved on to the USA. Thanks again, ...

Do you have a contact for Dillon McGee who gave you the info in 2008 on Owen HEARTY? He was born in 1828 and I have a Mary HEARTY born in 1823. I wonder if they are siblings or cousins. Mary's father was Owen Hearty back in Armagh. thanks Erica On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 7:40 PM, Allan and Grace (Bytown or Bust) < ag.lewis@sympatico.ca> wrote: > Hello, Mr. Clark: > > I'm interested in all of the folks who came from County Armagh between > 1820 > and 1855 and who settled in Ontario and Quebec, Canada. > > I have some McGee / McKee ancestors who came over in 1828 to work at > building the Rideau Canal here and I've found pockets of folks from Armagh > who seem to have come to Canada in small groups (maybe 5 or 6 families). > > I've just started a web page for these pioneer families.
