Thank you, Shane.  I appreciate all the help I can get!  I understand a lot of parish records were destroyed, but the hunt is on. . . This is a hobby that takes a lot of patience.  It only pays off in tiny tidbits at a time, but the tidbits are tremendous!

I appreciate your help!     
 :)

Monica,

I'm sorry. . . I didn't include my name.  If you have any idea which colony she came to, approximate dates, etc., there may be some suggestions I can give you.  Many, many people came into a few ports and some information can be found on passenger lists from ships, etc.  Also, the Mormons have a website and can find so much.  I think they will do five or six hours of research at no cost, but after that, if you want them to do more, it can cost.  However, they have so much information!! I am sure they could give you a good start! :D

Hi there! I'm researching  mostly Ireland (Westmeath)
my greatgrandmoter's parents Patrick Simon/simmons and Mary Kennedy were from there around 1850/60.My greatgrand mother name was Briget Emily end she ended up in China!! (Honk Kong) around the end of 1800 or very beginning of 1900 there she married Prosper Francis D'Agustine from Corsica but by then an Engiish citizien teacher  at the Queen’s college in Honk Kong there in 1903 was born my grand mother Olive Kathleen Simons/Simmons-D'agustine. To that end the research is very difficult because I can't find any records for the British Colonies. My grand mother Olive travelled wiyh her family all  over the British Empire ,Malta and ended up in Italy were she married an Italian  etc 
Help Pleeease!
Ciao
Monica

Monica,  Do you know which colony she came to?  Any idea when she arrived?

I am working on ancestry from North Wales, (Rowland Owen who fathered Thomas, who fathered William, who fathered Owen Owen(s), who came to America.  It is difficult from this side of the big pond to know how to keep digging!

I am also working on Patterson and Stafford, which I believe to be from Antrim or Downey in Ireland.

The part of my family that has my heart is Riggins (my mother's side), and I used griffiths valuation to learn that there were a lot of them in Meath County, Ireland, when the early census was taken, so I guess I'll start searching there! 8)

I am sure the name is very common, but I don't think he ended up in Iowa.  He is buried at St. Rose Cemetery, Mt. Pleasant, in Martin County, Indiana.  He had a son, James S. Patterson, born Oct. 9, 1832 and a grandaughter, Catherine Theresa (Katie) Patterson, who was my great grandmother.

I know so little about him but I  am not aware of him being in Iowa.  :-\

Thank you so much!  I will take a closer look at Philadelphia and Boston.  I am relatively certain that he did not come through New York.   :)

Ireland / Joseph PATTERSON
« on: Thursday 21 January 10 10:56 GMT (UK)  »
I am working on ancestry again after a long time away from it.  I am interested in Joseph Patterson.  All I know is that he was a Catholic from Ireland and that he was born on March 15, 1793.  His wife's name was Roseann Tewell.  Any suggestions on how to proceed? 

I am also searching the surname, RIGGINS, but do not know what part of the UK to search.

We have traced ancestry back to Owen OWENS :-\, b 1746 - d 1808-1810.  He was born in Northern Wales and immigrated to Virginia, (America) when he was about 18.  He met Sophia on his voyage to America.  Does anyone have a suggestion about how to begin learning more about Owen Owens original locale?  Is there a source for passenger lists or ports from where he may have begun the trip to America?
