Sligo / Re: Nicholsons from Sligo
« on: Saturday 26 November 11 11:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hi guys and thanks for replies. Yes i did get these details froma church record. My cousin located them for me. Why would Latin form of the name be used ? I have another branch so i will put that on a seperate post (i hope that's correct) I believe my family all left Sligo, to the best of my knowledge, the spread out to Scotland and America.

All help very much appreciated.

United States of America / Re: From Norway to America

Hi Guys, thanks for replying. I'm new to this so please excuse me. I know the Elizabeth maiden name is Nicholson but i don't know of her husband. My family history is steeped in secrecy so it's proving very difficult. I don't know the dates of birth/deaths either so all i have to go on the names. I suspect though that they were getting married and starting famalies around the 1930's, that's my guess from the pictures i have. Wish i had more details but there is nothing else and i don't quite know were to start looking for more.

Trying to trace relatives of ancestors, have so many old pics and so little information. I have one in particular, the parents were Jim and Elizabeth. They may have had a daughter Frances and a boy called James who came over from Norway to America. Does this family sound familiar to anyone ? Thank you

Hi there i'm looking for relatives of my ancestors who moved to either California or LA. They had spent a lot of time with Shirley Temple as i have the pictures. I would love to identify these people especially one lady who has an unusuall name .. i think it is Surrendolyn or something close. Maybe even Gwendolyn. The writing is so old it's hard to make out.

Sligo / Nicholsons from Sligo
« on: Thursday 24 November 11 20:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hi i'm trying to find living relatives from my ancestors from Sligo. I think they may have come from Drumcliff. Some of their names were Gulielmus, Dominicus, Maria, Brigida and Catherina. All Nicholsons and all from around 1846 till 1856. I would like to find anyone who has these people also on their family tree. Many thanks

Hi There,
It's my first time on here this evening and i've just registered. I am wondering if someone can help, i'm trying to trace living relatives in i believe California. The problem i have is the surname would now be different as i assume they married and changed surname. How can i find relatives if i don't know the married surname ? Any help would be wonderful, thank you.
