This is probably not the venue for this query, but I have a name in 18th/19th century letters of my Barry ancestors, which stumps me, because I can't find it anywhere. PALYART. This person was a merchant, shipper, dealer of sorts in or around Cuba and S. America. My ancestors' handwriting was impeccable, so the name is legible. I've transposed the "Y" to a "Z" but get the same results...nothing. Anybody want to take this on? Or do you know of another source? Thanks... Brownie MacKie
