Éamon de valera family tree

Eamon de Valera¹ (born Edward George de Valera) (14 October1882 - 29 August1975), was a leader of Ireland's struggle for independence from Britain in the early 20th Century, and of the Republican[?] opposition in the ensuing Irish Civil War, and was subsequently thrice Irish Prime Minister, as second President of the Executive Council (original name for prime minister) and the first Taoiseach (prime ministerial title after 1937).

He finished his career as President of Ireland.

Born in New York City in 1882 to an Irish mother, he stated that his parents, Kate Coll[?] and Juan Vivion de Valera were married in 1881 in New York. However exhaustive trawls through church and state records by genealogists and by his most recent biographer, Tim Pat Coogan (1990) have failed to find either a church or civil record of the marriage.

Futhermore, no birth, baptismal, marriage or death certificate has ever been found for anyone called Juan Vivion de Valera[?] or de Val
