I haven't found that we are related but I also have Farrell's in my family tree. My great grandmother was a Farrell. My great grandmother's grandmother was Elizabeth Marshall Farrell. Elizabeth Marshall was born in North Carolina in 1804, she married a Farrell but we don't know his first name or when he died.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem that some surnames are nearly everywhere. I wonder if it is because of names from a Bible. Like Adams, Matthew, Peters.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realized Peters were also in Ireland. but it stands to reason.
Thank you for stopping by my blog - I hope your tendonitis hasn't caused you any trouble since! I love looking at old photos (whether or not I know the people in them makes absolutely no difference to me, strangely enough :-) so I had a good look at all of yours to see if I recognised faces or names. Sadly, though, I didn't (and, also, surprisingly so - being Irish, one expects to be related to everyone!)
