I am looking for the parents of Robert R. Andrews born 1872 Belfast Ireland that moved to New Jersey with his family prior 1913. Robert was a shipbuilder. His wife Wilhelmina MacFarland was born in Scotland and died in New Jersey in 1913 from Childbirth. Their daughter Roberta was my great grandmother. She used to say they were related to Thomas Andrews that designed the Titanic but I haven't been able to tie the two together.
Thank you,
Donna
