Hi Bev
That's great, thank you. You can find the rest of your Greenshields ancestors on my Rootsweb file. We have your grandfather as Robert Paton Greenshields, so just enter that name when searching.

Hi wendy,

I'm interested to know what you have on William Greenshields Power & family. His son, George John, was a close friend of Catherine Hayes Bushnell, the famous Irish soprano.
