It is believed that Honora was kidnapped from Kerry County Ireland and brought aboard ship against her will to become a wife of an unmarried planter in Maryland.

What are you doing for Family History Day? What are you doing for Family History Month in October?
Is your group looking at putting on a display or event? Will you be sharing data with others at the local Library?
Maybe your community puts on a big gala? I am thankful that we try to recognize Family and History.
I hope you are too. So maybe you should start planning for it now.

A french cook was abroad a french ship on its way to Ireland. The ship landed and the cook settled in Co. Donegal, Ireland. There he met a native woman, married and had several children. They all settled around Letterkenny and had great families themselves. the supposed cook's name is Pierre Ambrose Frize.

Puzzle Pieces, That is What They Are
Putting together new data into my program, my mind said, new pieces to the puzzle.
Yes, they are new pieces to the puzzle. That is why we ask or are supposed to be asking each family member for help in resolving our lost data.
Each member of the family takes away a different thought besides their shared thoughts. Each person remembers activities differently in prospective to their selves instead of others. It is like a cup of water, is it half empty or half fu

“The Importance of Context in Record Analysis” by Barbara Vines Little, CG, FNGS, FVGS
Source citations provide context for the information we gather. The details provide background context that helps us evaluate the validity of the information and suggests other avenues for research. But this information only scratches the surface. A full evaluation of any record’s context requi

The following link will take you to the story of Job Witchell who was one of these men:
