Looking for relatives in Ireland

Looking for relatives in Ireland

My name is Ranae maiden name Twamley. My mother did a small family history year ago. I am visiting Ireland in June 2014 and would absolutely love to find out if I have any relatives still there. This is what I know....The Twamley's originally came from County Wicklow near Dublin. Robert Twamley came to Canada in 1864 with his wife Mary Ann Lett and their 3 sons Francis, George and Robert. They settled in Durham, Ontario. Robert passed away in 1881.I have more history on the family once they came to Canada. If there is anyone out there who would like to be in touch I would look forward to hearing from you.

Beth: I'm a descendant of John Twamley who was born in Co. Wicklow and moved to North Lake, Michigan shortly after he married Ellen Molyneux. John was Methodist & Ellen, Roman Catholic. They lived there until death & are buried in Chelsea, Michigan. John's brother, Peter, also lived in North Lake, MI & bought property near his brother. There is no record of him after a few years, so I wondered if he had died or (???) maybe he moved to Canada! I have never visited Ireland. That's on my list to do. There is an article about John in the Michigan Historical Archives. John was the 1st white person to own the property he farmed. He was also a merchant in the area. I would love to correspond with you! I live near Cleveland, Ohio & was born in Detroit, MI. Hopefully, we're related! Linda Short lmshort@wowway.com
