Welcome
to this Family History site
In late 1873 a brother and sister left their native County Cavan
in Ireland to travel halfway around the world, to settle initially
in Caversham, near Dunedin in
New Zealand's South Island. Their adventure did not have a particularly auspicious beginnings.
However, their descendants have flourished, and dispersed, throughout
New Zealand, and indeed, around the world.
This site was created by a descendent of one branch of the family.
It does not claim to be exhaustive or complete. It does not even
claim a monopoly on historical or other accuracy. And if you detect
a bias towards one particular branch of the family (or line of
descent) I can only say that it reflects my interest, parentage,
and sources of information.
It reflects a life-time's interest in family history, and a wish
to record what has been learnt in that time.
If you spot inaccuracies inconsistencies, or omissions, PLEASE
let me know,
so together we can correct them, and thereby improve the value
of the site as an historical record.
Finally, please understand that this is a "work in progress"
and, as such, remains incomplete. |
