My Purtle family were supposedly from Drom. I have searched the NLI Drom records and find nothing, John would have been born about 1790's and possibly married a Mary Connell. They died in Croom, Limerick. A son Patrick was born abt 1818 and married Margaret Herreen abt 1839. In 1840 they migrated to South Australia. I can't find any connection to Drom for this lot though! Help very much appreciated for my brick wall:(
Cheers

Hello again!
I searched for records for John and Thomas on two different subscription data bases and again got no positive leads.
Have you considered autosomal DNA testing? Possibly you will have matches with connections to these families.

Hi Roger, thank you for your help! I have not done the DNA testing as yet and am not sure if any other descendants of Patrick have either. Guess that's the next step!
Cheers

Roger,
I have since done DNA testing with Ancestry and uploaded my dna to Gedmatch SQ3424334. I am also on MyHeritage and FTDNA.

Good to hear from you! I assume you are contacting your top matches on each data base to see which family line is your connection. All the best with your research!
