Dear Joanne:

Many thanks for your query to the Ireland Reaching Out message board.  We have a very knowledgeable volunteer who may be able to assist.  I will forward this post to her and you should hear back within a week or so.

In the meantime, please consider creating an Ancestor profile under the XO Chronicles section of the website.  These profiles are created by all our members and are a great way of sharing and collaborating with others for family research.  If you have any questions, please let me know at:  jhalloranryan@irelandxo.com.

Thank you for your interest in Ireland Reaching Out!

Kind regards,

Jane

I was recently privately contacted by someone else about this same family. Here is a copy and paste of some of our back and forth emails. I have to believe you and Reg are searching the SAME Elliott family. If you're interested, I can contact him and see if he'd be willing to get in touch with you. Please reply to this board. 

Thanks,

Patti Hacht

Most interested in knowing if there are any current relatives in the area.
