Hello!
Looking for living relatives in Ireland! My mother did extensive geneology prior to her passing away & had detailed information on Her Great grandfather John Joseph Haye Sr. He was a bootmaker (shoemaker) and taught his children the trade. His son John Joseph Hayes Jr immigrated to England & met Rachel Waggstaff. They married on board the Elvira Owen some where in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on thier way to the US. They settled in Utah. I am hoping to find some relatives that might still live in Cork. attached is some info my mother was able to obtain along with a few pictures of thier possible homes in cork....

Mishuny,
I must be related to you, because my g g grandfather was John Joseph Hayes! I know the story of him moving from Clonakilty to England, finding Rachel Wagstaff, my g g grandmother. (I'm descednded from his son, Henry Nephi's line). I loved the attached photo you sent of the Hayes home! I, too, am curious as to what street, exactly where in Clonakilty their home was. Too bad there are no census' left from that time.
I also have a photo of the "Phipps home in Ireland" I will post.
Good luck,
Nan
