In answer to question :
MURRAY family. A few days ago I received an email from a good friend in Ireland. HIs cousin has come to a dead end researching the family tree. In 1847, because of the famine, two of his Murray ancestors left Ireland. Thomas Murray, his wife and 6 kids as well as the widow Murray with her 7 children all sailed on The Carraig of White-haven for Canada. It sank at the Cap-des-Rosiers and of 187, only 47 lived. His cousin cannot trace any Murrays who survived but some children were taken in by other families and may have a new name. Are there any websites that provide information on Irish children adopted in Quebec or elsewhere in Canada during the famine years? Thank you, any help will be most appreciated.
