Wow! Thank you! Sorry ben busy and havn't had a chance to check back, this all seems spot on! Fantastic! I didnt really think any info would be found as I have had such issues with another Irish link. Thanks again!

Victoria...Your welcome....Do you have any idea what happened to Margaret sister of Mary...?
There is a Death listed for a Margaret 1916 aged 19 years Abbeyleix....(b1897)

No I dont know what happened to her sister. This link of our tree is all very new and exciting! To be honest I only found out she was a relative on Saturday! I had a completely differnet person listed. Was given a lot of old family papers and photos and discovered my error when I found her marriager certificate. Don't know how I had it wrong as its so obvious now, one of those things i suppose!

Havent we all been there...!

The McEvoy's aren't so difficult but the Harvett (variations) is not a name found easily...there was however a Joseph Harvet and family emigrated to the US in the '40s so its probable the surname...(wherever/however it originated....some in Co Tipp.)...eventually began to disappear from Ireland....
