Evening,
I am new to this site and new to tracing my genealogy.
I know very little of my father's lineage and I am hoping that you will be able to assist me.
My father's name is: Edwin Marshall Weaver, Jr. - he was born in South Bend, Indiana.
My grandfather's name is: Edwin Marshall Weaver, Sr. - he was born in Niles, Michigan.
From there, no other information is available. My grandmother use to talk of stories that my grandfather's family was descendants of Ireland.
Any help or suggestions you may give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for you time.

Do you have any other information that you can share? Information such as:

? roughly when the family first emigrated to the US?
? the names of your ancestors who first went to the US
? Religious denomination of the family
