Information on Michael Pickett from Ireland.

Question

I believe Michael Pickett came to Canada during the famine in Ireland. I know he was in Canada by 1848, as that is when he married Margaret O'Brien. I believe Margaret also came to Canada during the famine and may have found a record of her arrival in 1846. Michael and Margaret settled in Wellington North (Arthur/Kenilworth area) and had 10 children. They were Roman Catholic. I really want to know if and where I have family in Ireland. I want to go to Ireland and want to visit where Michael and Margaret came from.

Hi, Michelle, can you please edit your post and add the tags Ireland and Canada, like you did Greeters and Pickett. That will get the attention of the project members for Ireland and Canada. There are a lot of members familiar with those areas.

Hi Michelle and welcome to Wikitree!

You may want to try the resources of the Ireland project. Start with the first one, Irish genealogy.

Your next step is to upgrade to family member. It is free. Check in with your greeter for more assistance. Once you upgrade, you can start adding your family and doing more research.

Be sure to come back here to the forum if you have any other questions.

Good luck and have fun!
