He might be too young.

Hi,

Looking for parentage and any other info on a William Powell born I believe in 1862 in Roscommon.

At some point he emigrated to the USA where he married and fathered six children.

I have no other relevant information on him.

Thank you
Tom





Apart from his father's name??
