Hi Waterdford. Glad to see on line. I've tried everything else. Let's see if you can come up with my post. Looking for the birth place and ancesters of my g grandfather and g grandmother. NICHOLAS PURCELL born 30 DEC. 1835(4 JAN. 1836 one week apart). Tradition says COUNTY TIPPERARY. NATURALIZED USA 3 OCT 1864. ORANGE COUNTY, N.Y..Died 3 MARCH 1885, NEWBURGH, N.Y.. Married ANNIE RYAN CA. 1860 NEWBURGH, N.Y. ANNIE RYAN Born Ca. 1841. Tradition says CORK BY THE SEA.(that's an area for you). Her mother and father were PATRICK AND MARGARET RYAN(No maiden name for margaret) ANNIE RYAN Died 5 FEB. 1913 Newburgh, n.y. usa. They say Nicholas is an uncommon name and should be easy to find. Hope so. Also tradition says that nicholas father or grandfather or whatever, was a "SQUIRE" Welcome again WATERFORD. We are begginning to circle the wagons. CHARLES CHIC@EWOL.COM ENGLEWOOD, FLA. USA
