    Hi,

    Thank you for your message. I hope that someone who recognises the family names makes a connection with you.

    Have you tried searching the 1901/1911 census records to see if there were any Blairs or Heustons still in the area at the time? you can search these online here:

    It may also be an idea to also place this message in a more local forum in the hope of increasing the chances of making a connection. Some places where you may possibly be able to do this are:

    The Examiner: http://www.crossexaminer.co.uk/

    The Ulster Gazette: http://www.ulstergazette.co.uk/articles/news/

    Newry Reporter: http://www.newryreporter.com/

    Parish of Kilmore newsletter: http://www.parishofkilmore.com/

    I hope that this suggestion is helpful.

    Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.

    Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.

    Kind regards,

    Genealogy Support
