Hi all I am relatively new to all this

[Merlot62]

Well hello my name is Anne and I live in Melbourne, Australia. Since my dear and beautiful mother's death in 2007 I have been inspired to search for long lost relatives and keen to explore my family's heritage. My maternal relatives were Irish, coming from Clonmel, Cahir, Tipperary and my paternal side is from England; mainly Derbyshire, Cheshire and Lancashire.

I would love to chat with people who are linked to O'Connor, Ryan, Roache, Hollihan and Redfern, Hinchcliffe, Horsefield, Hadfield, Hartle, Adams, Firth, Bertenshaw and Hall North. To name a few.

I am green in the area of searching/genealogy but am hoping someone can help me and in turn I can do the same. Look forward to chatting.

Cheers
Anne

Hi Anne I 'm new at this as well -from Rosebud. I'm searching for a John Henry Adams, spouse Emma Norcup and daughter Emma Louisa Adams married in OZ . They do not sound like they will be the Adams you seek but good luck n your search!
