Somervilles of Ballyhannon/Portadown

[PSW28]

The names you have said are my dad's line.

I'm completely new to this so don't know all the sites or where I need to go.

I'm taking it I look for either a roots.com Facebook page to try & find links?

I would really appreciate it if you could send me an email with links also incase I can't find these myself.

I feel a bit excited getting new stuff so that I can tell my dad.

Since I've took very ill myself I really get a bit of joy looking into my families past.

Thank you so much. Paul

I don't see a PM here anymore, so I can provide an e-mail at one of the other sites if you can't find a tree.

You can still use the PM system which is still here.

Either, when logged in, just click on My Messages (in the dark brown bar at the top) and then click ‘Send a Message’.

..or, click on the clipboard looking icon under their avatar, if it glows green they are online. Then send your PM.
