Looking for ancestors of ggggrandfather, John Fitzsimmons: b. December 25, 1776, probably in Ireland. Married Alice Williams. Later Wisconsin generations used Fitzsimons spelling.

There's quite a list of FitzSimons/Fitzsimmons on this page.

I'm looking for a James FitzSimons born before 1800 probably, married an Anne Farquar in Ireland. Lived in Nobber Co. Meath.

Thanks, Wayne, sorry it took me so long to reply. I will definitely be checking out the sites you posted. Looking in my files, I don't see a James. Family tradition holds that my ancestors came from County Cork, primarily, but I haven't confirmed that yet.

If you are interested, my Website has a descendant tree showing what I do have for the Fitzsimons/Fitzsimmons surname, at http://www.geocities.com/bpstratton/fitzsimons.html.

If I run across your James, I will let you know.

I have a note about a Matthew Fitzsimons (b 1830),
1850 Census, Wayne County PA, who may have
moved to Wisconson with his wife Mary and
Mother Catherine.

There are 1857 Bureau of Land Management records
about a Matthew Fitzsimmons

Is this a John C Fitzsimons? I have something of a John C that was born July 26 1850.......... We went to a auction in either Monfort or Livingston Wis bought some stuff and in it was a family bible.With John's name in the back

Beth,

I know how frustrating it can be to follow false leads, so wanted to offer myself as a sounding board.

I have a whole slew of Fitzsimons' that came to Chicago and then WI in 1870 and since.

If you need a sounding board on "modern day" Fitz's references in WI, please feel free to drop me an email.

hi, i was hoping you still have that bible...please let me know....you can contact me at christinebalero@yahoo.com
