Sarah Elizabeth PIPER was born in 1882. Her first marriage was to a man surnamed HAGGAR. They had one child (I have no other info on this child) and was widowed. She then married Andrew Sherman Snodgrass. This is their family:
Andrew S. Snodgrass 38-M-IL 
Lizzie S. Snodgrass 27-F-MO wife 
Clarence A. Snodgrass 7-M-KS son
Chester M. Snodgrass 5-M-MO son
Winnie F. Snodgrass 2-F-KS dau.
Maude B. Snodgrass -F-KS dau.
This is from a 1910 Census, Towanda co Ks.
So far, I have not found her parents or ancestors.

Her parents were Walter WOOD and Harriet SMITH. She was born in 1845, married to Michael in 1866. My grandfather's name was Walter, probably named after his ggrandfather.

They came to the US in 1847, can't find the name of the ship. I thought it was the "Sea Of York", but there is no record of that ship. I've searched through thousands of passenger list names, and can't find them. Anyone who has any info, here's some more on the family:

Patrick MCGINTY- father, b. abt 1810 in Ireland.
Mary MCGINTY- mother, b. abt 1815 in Ireland. Her maiden name was either HANLEY, OR HENDLEY.

Children:

Daniel b. abt. 1832
Dennis b. abt. 1837
Ann b. abt. 1839
Michael b. 1841
Ellen b. abt 1843
Bridget b. abt 1845
Mary b. abt. 1848-The only child born in the US.

I found my Manning/Beere family on this website.

Clara Aleen SANDERS
Charles Guyton SANDERS
Irma SANDERS
Pauline SANDERS
Thomas Lynn SANDERS
Ernest SANDERS
Maxie Lorraine SANDERS (My mother)

Anyone doing research from any of their lines, please contact me, I may have info to share!

From looking at the names in the records, I was astounded in the similarities in given names with my immigrant family. They were in America already when these children were born, but the family names are there. I think I may have found where my Ginty family originated from. The Sligo reference on Michael Guinty's military records was a clue. Then I searched the Sligo Tithes list, and found the parish with the Ginty names. Now the baptism records. I just have to find more proof. But I think my family came from Kilmacteige Parish, County Sligo, Ireland.

I just took over maintaining my grandfather's grave on find a grave. It's good to have family to manage those. I would recommend going on that site and looking after your ancestors memorials (good for geneology research too.). I remember when I was young and my mother did geneology research. She used to take us to cemetaries on family vacations. Strange at the time, now I get it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! This year I have a list of things I want to accomplish:
1. To find the truth behind the Cole Mitchell family (you'll have to check out my journals to see what I mean!)
2. To find Patrick and Mary Guinty (Ginty, Mcginty....) and their ancestors.
3. To find info on Elizabeth Piper, and fill in that part of my tree.
4. To find Mary Margaret Jane Davis, and fill in her ancestors.
5. Basically, to climb every wall I have on my tree!
This is my wish for everyone in my FTC group, and if anyone needs help, please feel free to ask. I love a challenge!
