I AM LOOKING FOR HELP IN FINDING INFORMATION ABOUT MY ANCESTORS THAT WERE FROM FERMANAGH. THE PERSON I HAVE THE MOST INFORMATION ON IS SAMUEL J KEYES, BORN OCTOBER 14, 1832 IN DRUMBULKIN.  HE IMMIGRATED TO AMERICA DURING THE POTATO FAMINE.  I BELIEVE THAT HIS FATHER WAS THOMAS KEYES, BORN 1786-1788 IN MAGHERACULMONEY AND DIED MARCH 25, 1850 IN MULLAGHMORE.  HIS MOTHER WAS MABEL JOHNSTON OR COCHRAN, BORN 1802-1805 IN DRUMKEERAN.  SHE ALSO IMMIGRATED TO AMERICA. THOMAS' FATHER WAS POSSIBLY WILLIAM KEYS, BORN AROUND 1770 IN DRUMKEERAN AND DIED MARCH 27, 1818.  HE WAS POSSIBLY MARRIED TO MARY GOUGE, BORN AROUND 1767 IN DRUMKEERAN AND DIED AFTER 1821.  WILLIAM'S FATHER WAS POSSIBLY DENNIS BORN AROUND 1745 POSSIBLY MARRIED TO MARY.

ANY INFORMATION YOU MIGHT FIND WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.  MY HUSBAND AND I ARE VISITING IRELAND IN JUNE AND I AM HOPEFUL TO VISIT THE AREA WHERE MY ANCESTORS CAME FROM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ANY HELP YOU MAY LEND.

 

SINCERELY,

LESLE WILLIAMS
