Dont Give Up .....

Post by And It Makes Me Shine » Wed Jul 05, 2006 1:49 pm

Just a short note to say to anyone in despair not to give up on those brickwalls. My 2nd Great Gran Maria Devine was the end of the line as she had came from Ireland and I had no idea where. I stopped searching for any more Devines about 6 months ago. I decided to relook at all my old brickwalls again armed with a wee bit more savvy with regards to wildcards and parent search on IGI. In the Last 24 hours I have discovered 8 siblings of Mariaall stayed in Lanarkshire. Her parents details, her grandparents details and her 3 uncles and Auntswho all moved to Lanarkshire. And to cap it all I know have the county and parish that the Devine-McGarry- Muldoon/Muldowney line came from. Sometimes a fresh look after a while away from a family really helps. Hurrah and DONT give up. :)

\:D/ Way to go, you \:D/

Innit amazin - there's nothing like a crumbling brick wall to lift the spirits and open new avenues to look for more to breach. And breach them we will \:D/
