Hi - I am working on my family tree and hit a wall. Martin Joyce(1804-1889) was born in Kilgeever Parish, Barony Murrisk, County Mayo, Ireland and married Mary Maxwell(1816-1906). At some point they emigrated to the US and settled in Emmetsburg, IA where they both died. They were the parents of 13 kids and my line leads from Martin to Patrick Joyce(1839-1896) to Joseph Joyce(1881-1968) to my grandfather William Joseph Joyce(1911-1948) to my mom Patricia Joyce Murrow (1943-).
I am looking for any information on the parents or lineage that ends with Martin Joyce. Additionally, looking for information on my grandfather William Joseph Joyce.
Thanks,
Scott
