I have just returned from an incredible week in Ireland. In our first night at a bed and breakfast, I met a man from Florida who was able to translate the Griffitth's valuation map to today's map and give me a gps coordinate for my Samuel Armstrong of Bracky. We drove there and when it said we had arrived, I pulled over. As I got out of the car, a man was closing a farm gate. I told him I was from Canada and I was looking for the Armstrong fields. He told me I was looking at them. He got his mother who's mother and father were related to the Armstrongs of Bracky. She says their are two Armstrong families of Bracky, not related. I had to share that story. This has been my brick wall for 20 years. I have three questions. 1. The parish at Sixmilecross, St. Michaels, has some BMD records. I would like photocopies of the ones relating to Armstrong's of that parish. Any suggestions how I go about doing it. Other than, looking for cheap flights in October, which I am already doing. I have been in contact with the parish, but I can't ask them to copy every record pertaining to an Armstrong, which is what I want to do. Actually I would like a copy of their records, up to 1910. Would they photocopy them for me, at a price? Any suggestions? 2. And in the Griffith's valuation, the Armstrongs of Bracky all seem to have fields adjacent to each other. And they even share a field with Thomas Fields and Jim Fulton. Would Thomas Fields and Jim Fulton, be related. For example, married to a female Armstrong? Was this common to share a field? 3. I have started family files for the Armstrongs of Bracky. I have tracked the families in the 1901 census and the 1911. Now I am trying to bring them backwards to the 1860 Griffith's. Any suggestions?
