Hello there,
I was just given a family tree and I am now just trying to research and fill in the blanks. The tree I was given are the descendants of Patick McQuaid born in Ireland 1801, he married Mary (believed to be Trainor) born 1795-1866. I am also researching a Margaret Elisa Trainor daughter of James Trainor and Bridget (Biddy) Quin. But in looking I am wondering if somewhere along the way there was an incorrect spelling of a name and death.
I realize there are many spellings and similar family tree’s but I was curious as your family tree listed on the website has a James Traynor marrying a Biddy who was born 1796 with a different year of death. Do you have any of their children’s names and dates they were born. I have a Margaret Elisa Trainor born 1844 as one of their daughters, but again I am wondering about spelling.
Thanks for your time,
JoAnn Sjerven
(PEI McQuaid descendant)
