Todays date is Jan 17, 2022 Hello, My name is Steven Burtchaell (age 66) from New Orleans. Lousiana. Nicholas Burtchaell, my great, great grandfather was born in Ireland , lived his life, in New Orleans. Louisiana. He was a River boat pilot in New Orleans. He owned property in New Orleans that lasted many decades till around 1998 in the family. Nicholas Burtchaell father was Patrick Burtchaell and mother was Agusta Byrn in Ireland. According to my father he was estranged from the family for an accident in Ireland. They lost track him on the record.
His history was lost till Fr Jim Burtchaell discovered us in the 1968. I have all his letters and inquiries that my Aunt Wyona and family made to Ireland Historical Society and Fr. James Burtchaell in the 1960-1988.
Ken Ryall visited us in New Orleans around 2012 to gather details. I'm interested to get a copy of the Family Tree Father Burtchaell created and Coat of Arms that i knew he had hanging in his room at Notre Dame in the 1970's. i visited there with him in 1975 and exchanged letters with him till 1988.
For many years I've tried to connect the dots of our family history. Most of our family records and pictures were destroyed in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina decimated our home with 12' of water.
It would be great to continue to share details of our shared background. Thanks. Steve Burtchaell
