Thank you to all of our readers who sent in challenging requests for help in their genealogy search. Hopefully we have helped some of you and will be able to continue this service. To make our service flow more smoothly we could use your HELP. When you post a comment, will you be specific on what it is that you seek. For example: “I am seeking the father of Joe Johnson who was born in 1908 in Virginia.”
or “I am looking for my great grandmother Sally Stallworth who was a slave in Alabama.” This way we can get started in directing you to a good source of that information.

I am looking for my grandfather, I do not have a first name. My grandmother was Bridget Mulroy (born 1885 Foxford,Ireland – parents were Patrick and Nancy Mulroy) married to a Deasey or Deasy in County Mayo Ireland around the turn of the century. Five children, Bridget ?, Stephen 1906, Joseph 1909 , Mary Ellen 1912 and John 1915 (my father). This has been the best kept secret in our family – but with all of the above deceased, we are left with no resources. Can you help.

This is a follow up to the search for my great gradparents. Their name are Sarah and Ralph Eldridge. I believe Sarah was born 1865 or around that era and I do not have a date for Ralph but it was also around that era. They were born in Petersburg, Virginia. Ralph had several children my grand mother her name was Corrine and one uncle that I remember name Arthur. I believe they lived on Jones Street in Petersburg, Virginia. I pray that this information is better. Thank you.
