mateer family around dromara/legananny/seapatrick
« on: Tuesday 28 October 08 17:25 UTC (UK) »
hi all

Firstly i'm new here so hopefully this went to the right forum.anyway...i'm trying to trace my family roots as far back as  i can.have traced my G.G.G Father  Henry mateer of legananny back to about 1830's...altho i have info on him..no birth date or death date or indeed any marriage.i do know that he had 1 son(that i know off) james died april 1892 lisnod..i have james being married to a elizabeth patterson in 1854( am also trying to trace the patterson side too)..they had 2 sons david mateer(whom i have details on )..and a william mateer who seems to have got lost here..maybe moved away as the trace goes cold.

the area that they all came from seems to be around dromara/legananny/seapatrick area.if anyone has any info on henry or even william etc i would be very grateful.

or even any ideas to what i do next.
thanks
alan
