Welcome Family Members and Genealogists

Your Ancestral Journey Begins Here!

Celtic families included on this site are families who have immigrated to Canada and the US from Scotland, Ireland, England etc... Most of the families on this site have also emigrated from Eastern Canada to New England and the Boston area USA. All families on this site share a common connection to one another.

I feel the story of life is an important journey to document.

It's all about stories and getting to know your ancestors... I believe it is possible that we all share a common ancestor whether it's 2 or 50 generations down the line.

Back in Scotland and Ireland families who were related settled in different parts of North America. At the very least we should be able to identify possible family connections with those who left specific areas of those countries.

My main focus is to discover how individuals are related and to show interesting family tree patterns and connections between them. It's all one great big story waiting to be told!

When all is said and done I hope to pass this and any information on to an interested and dedicated family member. This family member may not even be born yet! I also have thoughts of burying time capsules in a few places for future generations to find! If you want to help me dig then please read further. This is a private family password protected access site, only showing full genealogy information on the deceased.

"Like a puzzle piece, we all connect and make up an incredible story of life, love and death."

Welcome and Happy Hunting,

Shawn Lawrence Gillis Gearin
