Hi, I am working on my Guerin line: William Guerin b. c. 1827 Tipperary and became a soldier in the 70th Regiment of Foot and ended up in New Zealand.
Our research indicates that we may be related to a Patrick Francis Guerin born in Tipperary (1863- 1909) and living in Brooklyn, New York as he put a notice in a New Zealand paper in the 1890s looking for our Guerins (William and his wife Catherine Sweeney Tierney Guerin).
DNA has shown a potential link of a cousin of mine with the descendants of Bridget Guerin Boulton (c. 1827-1901) (daughter of Michael Guerin and Nancy/Anne Cahalan) from (Clooninihy) Terryglass, Tipperary who arrived in NSW Australia in 1849. Bridget's sister Anne and three brothers also arrived in NSW, Australia and their parents listed as being both dead by the time the boys left Ireland in 1854.
I'm keen to investigate these lines further if possible to see if we can connect our Guerins and get more of an idea where in Tipperary our William Guerin came from.
Best wishes, Astrea
