I am researching the family of Edward Ryan (d. 1908) who came from an Irish family emigrating through Ontario (ultimately to Manitoba)...and just ran across your post from 2005 mentioning your newsletter and a Ryan/Guinan biography. If you are still receiving notifications from rootsweb, I would love to hear from you how I could access that material. Although I don't know much about Edward's parentage, I do have records that his children intermarried with Guinan descendants from the Ontario area. Edward m Johanna Tully 4 July 1853 in Ontario.
