Raffety Family Tree

Much of my research is done on www.ancestry.com. There I have over 1000 family tree members, with over 2800 records to support findings as well as over 400 photos and /or stories. I have attempted to provide much of that same information on this website so that extended family and other amateur genealogists can have access to this information free of charge.

Family tree research is an ongoing process. Mistakes can be made. As new information is discovered, it sheds new light on the past. Be mindful of this process.

All the research information I have compiled is posted on either here and/or on www.ancestry.com.

As the intent of this site is to share information and historical accounts free of charge, no articles or information from this site may be reproduced for a profit by anyone other than the copyrighted owner.

First Raffety/Rafferty's in America

by Charles E. 'County' Raffety

Excerpts. A considerable amount of information on the Raffety family was documented in a loose leaf-book compiled by Charles E. 'Count' Raffety. It appears the majority of his research was conducted in the late 1960's and early 1970's.
 
Mr. Raffety states in his book that it is his intention as a genealogist to simply share his research with future generations and therefore his book was not for sale. But, he documented his plan to make the loose leaf book available in archives. He created it in loose leaf format so that it could be amended.
 
In honor of his efforts, and to ensure his work is appreciated in a broader forum, I transcribed several of the pages. I have posted them here and on ancestry.com. Others have also transcribed his findings and posted them on ancestry.com.
