I have started to trace my family history/genealogy and have triedandnbsp;to connectandnbsp;my family roots back to where the family name of CLEARY came from.
The name CLEARYandnbsp;is of course on my father’s sideandnbsp;of the family. There areandnbsp;also the names of Knowles, Ratcliffe and Hallam on my father’s side. On my mother’s sideandnbsp;of the family Helliwell is the main family name. Other names on the maternal side include Whittle, Podestaandnbsp; and Zonfrillo.
My father’s sideandnbsp;of the family seem to have originated from Ireland where as my mother’s side of the family seem to have originated from Italy. All before both sets of family put their roots down in the North West of England.
Access to the information I have already gathered on my genealogy is stored on-line at the Ancestry web pages, please feel free to visit this information, you never know we could be related!
