Hi there,

I was wondering if you knew of the prior descendants of Theresa Farrell. She was born in Glace Bay in 1875, and died in Borden, PEI in 1962.

She married Alfred B Paquet (his 2nd marriage; first wife died in 1905) of Souris, PEI in 1906, and had 6 children. Alfred moved his family to Borden, as he was a ferry captain, and this is where she died.

She would be my Great-Grandmother. I am trying to trace back her Irish heritage. I'm not sure if her parents were Thomas and Johanna Farrell.

Thank you
