Title: Conway Bunnahowna
Post by: Sijo on Thursday 24 February 11 00:33 GMT (UK)
My Grandmother was Mary Conway daughter of Michael Conway Shraghmore and Mary McManmon Skirda. She died when my father was 4 and his sister was 2. Their father married again and they never knew their mother or her family. Is the Conway family still living in the same area. I know she had 9 siblings so hopefully somebody can help me locate them.  Regards  Sijo ???

RootsChat is meant for finding ancestors, rather than living relatives.

Personal details of any people known or thought to be living will be removed, in accordance with RootsChat policy, to avoid spamming and other abuses. So people here will be able to give you general tips and hints how to proceed, but not any concrete details.

you had asked about Conways still living in the area, that's why I mentioned information about not including recent details.

Do you have any names and dates of birth for the people you are searching for ?
