Find Ancestors

oh dear ......

Valerie .........

please, in future, NEVER use the tick facility.

It is meant to indicate that your query has been fully answered, not an acknowledgement of a post.

It shows up in the record of threads as query answered, no need to open .......... so most helpers will no longer open the thread.

Unfortunately, the tick cannot be "unticked" due to a long-standing glitch in the system.

May I suggest that you edit the title to add something like "help still needed"

To do that, click on Edit on your opening post, on the top line to the right of your name.

The heading shows as well as the post, and you can add to it.

Valerie found these.....

yes, Joseph is my descendent, william and sarah were his parents, they were marr in gib, I cannot find anything else on them, or whether they had siblings. I have info on joseph up to date, it is going backwards I have the trouble.

Re Malyon's post (13.37)

The RC Baptismal Registration of Gulielmi Keefe....Gulielmi (or variation of spelling) is Latin for William.
