Neville, I am in WV, USA. My grandfather came from Ireland before 1815. He was born in 1795 in Ireland and married here in 1825. A brother came with him and they separated in New York. Don't know who his brother was or where his descendants are located.Alexanders decs. are scattered and I have a great deal of info on them. My great grandmosther put the family Bible in the casket with her husband when he died so all that info is lost. Stupid idea wasn't it but I am certain she meant well. The brothers were said to have been stowaways and I can't seem to find them on ship records anywhere.Still searching. Predominant family names are: Samuel, John, William,Joseph, Allen,Henry, Elizabeth, Martha ,Margaret and Mary. Don't know whether they were Protestant or Catholic but that doesn't matter. We have all walks of faith in our family and have never had any reglious problems. Often discussed but wego by " to each his own."God loves us all anyway. Hope you are well and happy.June
