Hi Chris, thanks for your reply. I have found a few heffernans from the census records, but no luck with the St. Kevin's cemetary, which is where my grandfather is buried. I will be visiting the Goulds in August, and hope to go to St. Kevins in person and see where that leads. I appreciate your getting back to me. Many thanks,
dayle

Hi Dayle,
No sweat. I currently have 30 HEFFERNAN's from the Goulds/Big Pond in my family file. I'm assuming that you don't want to share information, as you haven't stated how you fit into them. They are not in my 'direct' line, but they do fit in on the 'twigs'. I have found that sometimes, if you go out to the twigs, you sometimes find that they come back to the 'branch'. This is especially true in some of the 'outports', as people tended to marry close to home. Thus, after a few generations, they married back into where they came from. Why don't you throw a few other surnames from the Goulds at me and let me see if I can find something in my file. Have you obtained the Military record for John? I can help direct you where to obtain it, if you would like. Also, I stongly suggest that you join the NFLD-ROOTS mailing list. There is a wealth of information (although it has slowed down for the summer) and I guarantee that you will matchup with folks that will tie into your line.

Hi Chris - I have no problem sharing what I have, though it isn't much. This is what I have come up with so far:
Michael Heffernan born June 1876 - My great grand father
Mary born Aug 1878 - My great grand mother
John Heffernan born 1900 - (my paternal grandfather)
His siblings below:
Annie married Gerald Raymond July 1901
Michael Patrick Jan 1902 died 1955
Elizabeth (Lizzie) born Apr. 1905
Patrick married to Maughn Raymond (still alive) Mar 1913 - Son - Kevin Heffernan
William Heffernan (Willie) born Sept 1915
Henry Heffernan born May 1917 - died 1967
Nellie Heffernan born June 1920
Samuel brother to Michael Apr. 1867 - brother of Michael Heffernan (my great grandfather).
I have not found military records for John, thought he was in WW1 and joined up for service when he was underaged. So, I imagine that was around 1915, according to family recollections. ? I appreciate your writing. Many thanks,
dayle

I also saw that you are researching the EARLEs. You may want to join the NFLD-ROOTS mailing list. I have a contact in the Goulds, Raelene EARLE, who has extensive data on families from the Goulds. Perhaps you can connect up with each other and exchange information.
If you can add anything to the information that I have provided to you, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if you are interested in obtaining John's Military record, I can point you in the right direction. The Military record costs .10 cents (U.S.) per page. Please contact me. Where do you live? I live on the west coast of the U.S. in the state of Washington.
