Christine

I am currently in NY. Originally born in England, left to go to Australia
early 90's and been in the US since 2004.

I do know that there were a group of my grandfathers brothers and sister
left Tyrone and ended up in PA. This would have been late 1800's I presume
and I don't believe anyone ever heard from them again.

Brian,
I too wish the line sounded familiar, but I cab't seem to find any remote
likeness. I haven't even been able to prove just where my line comes
from....Mayo is family gossip with the maturnal line coming from Cork...who
knows.
Have you ever heard of an Edward Rafferty from Pa....worked on the Railroad,
wife Elizabeth...he passed away in about 1972..He was about 100 yrs.?
Where are you located?

christine
