Purpose: This website is my effort to publicize the research I've done and to connect with others interested in genealogy.  With the help of visitors like you, I hope to maintain and add to what I've learned about my family, their origins and the historical events that influenced them.

ANDERSON -- 1909 Glasgow/Irvine, Scotland >> Fort Worth, Texas

RAMSAY -- Kirkmichael, Ayrshire, Scotland m. William Anderson.

Additional stuff that interests me:

Quinns in Australia - Edward and Margaret Cleary Quinn married in Tipperary in 1847 and headed for Port Philip/Melbourne, Australia.  A number of their relatives also migrated and the family's adventures reflect the history of Australia.

The Irish Potato Famine was probably a big factor in the Quinn's emigration to Australia and the Higgins and Donahues moving to New York.
