I am seeking information on members of the McEvoy family, originally of St. Jacques, Newfoundland, later of St. John's, Newfoundland (some later moved to Brooklyn, NY).
I am particularly interested in the family of Michael McEvoy and his wife, Frances Ryan, and their descendants.
Any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

Hi Don,

My grandfather is a Burke from St. Jacques. I would be interested in see any info you have. My grandfather was Michael Frances Burke, his father was Francis Regis Burke (brother Vincent Patrick Burke) who's parents were Denis and Mary Burke of St. Jacques.

Regards,
Jackie

Jackie: My records show a Francis Regis Burke, br May 22, 1892,in St Jacques,son of Denis Burke and Mary Marshall, occupation Royal Bank Employee, Buried in St. John's, no date of death, his spouse was "Morris" (no other info), one child: Maureen, no info except her spouse was Joseph Courtney.

Denis Burke and Mary Marshall had 9 children, but Vincent Patrick Burke, the Senator, was not one of them.

I will be away for 10 days. Look forward to seeing your comments when I return. I hope this was of some use to you.

Yes, that is my family. Vincent is my great grandfather's twin brother.

Don: I know it has been years since I was last in touch (I have been out of the country for much of that time), but I wanted to check and see if this e-mail address for you was still valid, to see if we might be able to have some further conversation regarding the St. Jacques McEvoys and Burkes?
If so, I'd really appreciate it. You can reach me at: jmkwatson@gmail.com or by phone at 519-331-3213.
Best wishes and thanks,
Murray
