I have been researching my and my wife's family history for about 2 years, almost exclusively in USA and Canada. I am starting to expand to Europe and UK and must admit to some intimidation. Not sure where and how to start. One family I am working on is my wife's gg grandfather. The information I have is
William Ross b. 5 July 1837 Monaghan, Ireland
Father was David Ross b. 1793 Monaghan, Ireland
Mother was Margaret Ann Conagan b. 1789 Ireland
mother and father married in 1828 in Monaghan, Ireland
Children of David and Margaret were
Charles b. abt 1820 Tyrone Northern Ireland
John A b. 6 Aug 1827
Eliza b. 1831 Monaghan, Ireland
James b. 1833 Monaghan, Ireland
Susannah b. 1835 Monaghan, Ireland
William b. 5 July 1837 Monaghan Ireland
Jane b. abt 1838 Monaghan, Ireland
The entire family emigrated to Canada in 1848 when William was 11 y/o.
William's father David was a school teacher in Ireland.
I do not have a lot of supporting documentation for the above. Any suggestions as to how to proceed or any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
