Tom Grant is looking for relatives in Saintfield
The website received this message from Tom Grant, who is hoping to make contact with relatives in Saintfield called Grant. If you have any information that could help, please contact the website.
Hello my name is Tom Grant and I believe my ancestors came from Saintfield Parish, however I have no documentation. I will be visiting Ireland this May and would love to seek out information on them. My grandfather, Tom Grant left Ireland in the early part of the 1900’s with his two brothers Sam and Robert. We believe they left behind other siblings and relatives. Anything you have would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Tom Grant
