Eileen Welch from Donegal has contacted Natland News to help with her family history: I am wondering if you could help me, my name is Eileen Welch, and I am trying to trace my family's history. My fathers name was Gerry Welch and he grew up in Green Tree House, his fathers name was Richard but better known as Dickie, and his parents were Jane & Frank. My grandfather Dickie, also had siblings Jane and Johnny, I was told that Johnny died sadly very young by drowning. I would like to find out a bit more about him too as I only have one photo of him and absolutely no idea of dates.
My father passed on 14 years ago, leaving me as the only Welch left so I am very eager to find out a little bit about his childhood. Things like where he went to school, where my greatgrand parents are likely to be buried, dates of births, deaths,maiden names etc... As I am the only Welch left, I'm finding it very difficult to obtain any information on them as there is no-one else to ask. Any information you could give me would be very much appreciated.
Sincerely Eileen Welch.
