Mitchel/Mitchell family in Mitchelstown
Mitchelstown, Ireland (Baile An Mihstealaigh).I have a photo of a lady who is reputed to be my Grandfather's Aunt standing beside a sign signifying the above town designation.Prior to 1847 (probably because of the potato famine, some of the Mitchel (Mitchell) family emigrated to Canada, then New York.Children of this Mitchel family were Jane (1863), Martha (1861), William (1859), Frances (1857),Celia (1856), John (1853), Elizabeth (1851), Mary (1850), James (1847-born in Canada), and Sophia (1867-8-born in New York State).The Father, William, was born around 1818 and the Mother whom I believe was named Frances Mary Rutoford/Rutherford or something similarwas born around 1823.Does anyone know ANYTHING that would help me ?????
