I would love if anyone could assist me in locating family history on William Wilson, born in 1698 in Dublin Ireland, and died in the United States in mid 1700's. I have traced my heritage to the homeland and love learning my family's history. I would also love to connect to possible family members, and possibly come to visit my family's original home. That is my dream, to come to Ireland, meet family and learn more history!
If anyone can help, feel free to contact me at

Hi,
Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone recognises the family and is able to help you with your research.
Unfortunately, it may be difficult to find records that date that early. It may be an idea to contact the Heritage and Genealogy Centre in Dun Laoghaire to see if they can be of any assistance, however please note that a fee may apply. Here is their email: cmalone@dlrcoco.ie
