In Response To: Re: Seeing information on the Duffy family line (Gwen Butrum)

You don't seem to appreciate the work involved in tracing 15 family
members and ensuring you have the right person. Iowa was flooded with
Irish refugees during the 1850-1870 period due to the Potato Famine.
You may wish to learn how and to have tools to do family history research
yourself. I strongly recommend Familysearch.org. It is free and has many
educational resources for all levels of expertise.

I have spend 25 years on genealogy and still feel like a novice in many
respects. In your case do not depend too heavily on the internet because
you may find a county history sometimes called a mugbook usually published
about 1876 or 1900-1910 that details all or most of these family members.
I don't know where you are located but your local public library may be
able to get these county histories on microfilm.

Be sure to see findagrave.org. Sometimes whole obits are reproduced and
can save a lot of time.

Good luck
By site you must mean the Buchanan Ia genweb site. I don't know the URL
-just google Buchanan IA genweb
