I am trying to find out information on Alice Whelan born either 1924/1926. Her family was from Dublin and when her parents died Alice and her siblings had to move to Stradbally to live with their relatives. Alice worked as a domestic servant in Stradbally she fell pregnant with me but refused to marry my father. His name i think was David Byrne and he lived in the village pf Timahoe about 1mile from Stradbally. Alice left and came to England where she had me. I was later adopted. Any info on Alice or my Father and his family....2 daughters and 1 son would be most helpful. I wish to add that I have great respect for my birth parents. Thankyou

I am trying to find out my family history and which crest is actually my familys whelan crestcoat of arms... when my family lived in the Dakotas some time ago, their house was burnt down and the family historydocuments and anything showing our history was pretty much lost... We live in california now and my great great grandfather is Cleophus j. Dowd, the priest who was known as Utahs most enigmatic outlawlawman and had trained butch Cassidy and the Sun-Dance Kid, and i can only hope that this somehow helps in my goal to find out my family history and crests...
