I couldn’t find the research log.

My brick wall is finding my mother’s sister who we haven’t seen since 1970. I have found little things way before 1970. After that she disappeared as well as my 2 cousins. I did find a death SSI showing she passed in 1986. If you can help, please let me know. Thanks.

Thank you for this session. I was just wondering if you have a session also on people who left Ireland and the UK in the 1800s who changed their surname as they entered the US? eg. "Keighery" changed to "Keenan" - Irish people picked a new name or changed their religion to escape from retribution so wondering if there is a change in surname or religion. I would really appreciate your advice?
