Subject: [MACHELSEA] Sharkey -irish-canadian-american imagration
Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2001 16:29:30 EDT
strangly i dont have your old info entered
now let me say this again if you cant find him in canadian records here is
why what does the A stand for
irish parents didnt use middle names the name was like jesus ben joseph so
this walter a could be walter ben arthur
now when they went to canada this became arthur walter middle names became
first names thus if he was athur walter sharley at birth or at imagratingto
canada it was athur walter sharkey
now when he came here that would change or change again either way he became
walter arthur sharkeycause the bureaucrat would of demended his first name
knowing this was standard practice so look for A. Walter Sharkey in canada
now maybe when he came he goofed up and used A Walter Shakey. This has solved
many a problem for me in my line with canadian entrances
