Dagnabbit,
I think my ancesters just don't want to be found. At every
turn....there they ain't!
I went to Troy, NY to look at the papers there in the cellar. The
specific ones I wanted were out for 4 months to be rebound.
I went to New York State archives to look at the marriage,
death and birth records....Mine just miss most of the recording
start times.
I went to Albany, NY to look at some more papers as they had
a name of mine on the internet. When I got there and looked that
record up, someone had recorded it inaccurately so it was a
different name.
I know the house in Barry, County Longford where they lived
long ago and wrote to the people who live there now (the Plants)
and got no response.
And the list goes on.
I know they came from Barry in County Longford. I know some
other things but am dying to find the ship they came over on and
where they embarked.
So, if anyone knows of a James or William Heaney who married
a Mary Whitney and they had a son named James and came to
America in the early 1800's, I sure as heck would appreciate any
info ya can give me. Or if you are around Barry, take a picture :-)
Sheesh!
