As my uncle is getting on in age he would like to get some of his family information together. And maybe hear from some of the family he doesn't know. Uncle Johnny says his Dad told him thier name used to be O'GORMAN till they moved to Canada from Ireland and dropped the O' from thier name.
He thinks they were from the Belfast area.
Thank-you.
