Thanks so much for the story. It is exciting to learn about the Chilean branch of this family! That was a great bit of faith to travel so far in those early times!

Can you tell us of the family born to Peter and Margaret?  And with whom we are corresponding! Your English is great - no errors at all.

Slainte!

I believe Peter Floody was the son of Patrick Floody of Co. Monaghan Ireland.
See http://ahd.exis.net/monaghan/floody.htm
Peter married Margaret Tighe in Broxburn, near Edinburgh, and emigrated to Chile. 

I would love to learn more about the Floody/Tighe connections in Chile, especially the long sea voyage that they must have endured!

I have also posted on the genforum floody page, and communicated with John Rice. He found Peter some years ago. Strangely I have a 1st cousin 2x who married Edward Toye in Rhode Island US. Small world!

Regards,
A. Harney
