Welcome And Thank You For Visiting Our Home Page.

Our research begins with John McKelvey (1771-1860) and Mary Slaven (1781-1846). Between 1832-1836, together with their five children, they immigrated from Donegal County Ireland to St. Sylvestre, Lotbiniere County, Quebec, Canada. Their daughter, Catherine married John Haggerty in Ireland. In St. Sylvestre, Mary married James Plunkett. Susan married Francis Gormley. Edward married Helene Shields. Lawrence married Hannah Maguire.

Shortly after the death of Mary Slaven, the family moved to Wolfestown, Wolfe County, Quebec. Here, Catherine/John Haggerty lived and died. Around 1869, Mary/James Plunkett settled in Alpena Michigan. Susan/Francis Gormley, Lawrence/Hannah Maguire Edward/Helene Shields settled in Eau Claire Wisconsin.

We hope you enjoy our site and hopefully find a connection. If you do find a connection we would love to hear from you. A lot of information has been obtained from the sharing by many distance cousins, who by chance stumbled across our website.
