It looks like i got the story about the house partly wrong.... At a family reunion recently, a great aunt was talking about a house in the Ulster American Folk Park that was donated by a family member to the Folk Park. I didn't give it much thought at the time as details were sketchy. I have investigated further over the past couple of days and have found out the house was a house located near Plumbridge, Co.Tyrone (not an American house) and that my only connection to the house is that is was acquired by a cousin (Reaney) in 1976 and after it lay derelict was donated to the museum. See below link for the history of the house. http://nmni.com/uafp/Collections/Buildings/Ulster-Buildings/Campbell-House On 7 July 2015 at 08:14, Malcolm Houston <malcolm.houston@gmail.com> wrote: > PRONI is not open at the weekend unfortunately. > > Closest hotel to the folk park is The Mellon Country Inn > > There is a house that was recently rebuilt after being shipped from the > states in the folk park that belonged to a distant relative of mine ???? > > > On 7 Jul 2015, at 08:00, cotyroneireland-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > > > > > > > You are receiving this email because you subscribed to the > CoTyroneIreland-D mailing list.
