Hi all- I'm trying to research my FIL's great grandfather, and he said in an interview that he was born on a farm in Butler, PA in 1847 to Irish immigrants, James and Anna Lavelle. I haven't been able to track this family at all and I'm curious if anyone knows of a Lavelle family that would have immigrated to the States before 1847? My FIL's great grandfather was W.A Lavelle, an actor, circus performer and supposed Civil War veteran. :) I'm just trying to figure out what is true about him and what isn't- Thanks!
