Dia duit!

I'm looking to connect with anyone that has roots in Parish Kill or Powers or Whelan/Phelan in their family tree (I know that those are the most wide-spread names in Co. Waterford, still). :) My Powers married a Phelan/Whelan and immigrated with his family to Canada in the 1830s.

 

Slán!

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    I hope someone researching the family will be in touch with you. Often on our Facebook page we let people know about family/clan gatherings so keep an eye out for those

  • HiTiger,

    I have John Power (DOB 1847- Ross) who married Catherine Phelan (DOB 1849 - Kill)  They married in 1872.  They moved to Townsville, Australia. Not sure if they would be related to your family????

  • Hi Jill and Tiger,  My Whelans are definately from this parish.  My ancestors are John Whelan and Catherine Sullivan.  They had 11 children and Powers is a surname listed on some of the baptism.  Some of their descendants came to the US, but I have not found their sons John, Edward or Edmund and Michael yet.  Mary Beth
