Family History

I’ve been researching my family history off and on for almost thirty years. I am doing my best to document and research, but I can’t guarantee perfect accuracy. 

My mother’s ancestors came from Ireland and England to eastern Newfoundland as early as the 17th century and eventually migrated to Boston, Massachusetts. My father’s people are all from Ireland, mostly County Cork and County Waterford; a few emigrated during the Famine but many more emigrated to Cambridge and Somerville, Massachusetts in the 1890s.

Rather than trying to build and maintain my own family tree website, I’m sharing my research on WikiTree and FamilySearch, which are free and public. My ahnentafel is below, with links to online profiles when available. I don’t manage all the profiles; they’re collaborative efforts. I’m working on improving the profiles of my direct ancestors. I’m also hoping eventually to blog profiles of all these couples. I am happy to discuss ancestors; if you see a connection between us, get in touch!

 

What’s an Ahnentafel?
