Hi my name is Rosemary and i have been tryng to find my great grandfather family
I know my great grandfather was born in new Zeland in 1883 but apart from that i can't seem to trace
him further than that i do know his parents or maybe grandparents went from Ireland to new zeland
my great grandfarher's name was Charles Henry Carroll i have been told the ancestor that traveld from
Ireland to new zeland dropped the O that would have been infront of the name

Rosemary:
Unfortunately, you do not have enough information for us to try to search and find info on your family. In the 19th century, Carroll was a very common surname found in all counties. Looks like the ancestor you are looking for was born pre-1840 and we would need to know his name and likely his parents names to see if a baptismal record was available.
Have you considered DNA testing?
