Hello, List,
Looking for Margaret CHESTNUT, dob abt. 1799, in Ireland. Married John
Cunningham. Possibly Co. Donegal, Ireland. Emigrated abt. 1845 - 1852.
This is a 'please find my family' query if I ever saw one but the name
Chestnut is a new one. I am pursuing other leads as well.
Best regards,
Roberta Meehan

Colleagues
I have now typed up the Chestnut related records from Toberkeigh and
Bushvale Presbyterian Churches in County Antrim, Ireland. The text file
is about 5K with the vast majority of the records from Toberkeigh.
Please e-mail me for a copy.
