Hi Everyone,
I am trying to trace the parents of the above. he was born in New York and we think his father's name is John W Ferris, we dont have a birth date or place of birth. I am researching this tree for a friend in Montreal who is trying to find out what part of Britain this line of Ferris's came from. He thinks Scotland via Ireland.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Regards
David

From the homepage
scroll down to 'county forums' and click on Across the pond(s)
In the meantime, I've moved the whole thread across there - if the thread needs moving again, just ask.

If you can find Joseph L Ferris on the 1880, 1900 and 1910 US census, his parent's place of birth will be listed.

David,
Joseph Leroy Ferris is my great great grandfather and I have his father as John W Ferris from northern Ireland, but nothing more. Was hoping to find family in Ireland that could the foot work and get us out of this rut.
