I have given my brother’s family a detailed family tree of our English/Scottish roots and would like to balance it by showing my nephews more of their Irish roots.
Can anyone help with information about the ancestry of this family in N. Ireland? My SIL’s father knows very little of his grandparents and nothing about his great grandparents. He came to Canada as a teen from Belfast with his family in the late 1940’s. I understand there was a marriage that was not acceptable to the families with regard to religion.
Thank you in advance for any resources or details you can add to Crothers, Murphy, Wright or Morgan families circa 1850.
