I can't help you directly, I'm afraid, but if you Google the ancestry of Joe Biden, VP of the USA, you will see that he descends from a family of Blewitts from Rappagh, County Mayo. Might give you a starting place to search.

Wow that would be something if I was related to the American VP. But there again I might lose what friends I have!!
Difficult to research in Ireland but I will do my best,hopefully with help from the Mayo members

I don't know if he is yours but there seems to be a William Blewitt age 76 in !911 in Tynemouth who gives his birthplace as Ballina Co Mayo. (sorry can't check details)
And as a different thought I seem to remember earlier postings on this site about Blewitt and variants (maybe Bluett...) - can't seem to find them though

Thanks for that link Jan-could be worth a try
Regarding Edward Blewitt in Tynemouth-I have linked all the Blewitts in Tynemouth/Shiremoor as being connected to Co Mayo. What I am looking for now is details of their ancestors in Mayo

VP Biden Connection via Co. Mayo - Blewitts
I have a pdf file going back to Co. Mayo, mid 1700's, that shows my connection to USA VP Joe Biden via Blewitt ancestors. We were both born in Scranton PA in early 1940's and share our Blewitt family background. It doesn't seem like I can post a pdf file. I'll keep trying other types.

Hi tmlangan and welcome to Brit-Gen
Another way of being sure of getting the file to Eric would be to send him a private message (pm) where you could exchange email addresses and send it that way.
Just click on Eric's username and then on private message in the drop down menu.
Good luck
