Found a DNA match, most likely on my Armstrong or Liddy side from Fermanagh. Eliza Born abt 1832 in County Fermanagh. Moved to US and married Samuel Spear of County Tyrone between 1852-1856. Samuel arrived Boston 1847 and naturalized in 1852. In 1857 their son was born in San Francisco. They had 4 sons and 2 daughters. Eliza died 31-oct-1877 in San Francisco Not much to go on, but thought I would put out some feelers. Thanks, Bill in hot and muggy Florida. Sent from my iPad

Bill, I'd associate SPEER with Kesh area. Jimmy Speer used to work at RAF Castlearchdale on the Switchboard in the 1950s. Ahhhhhh those were the days!

My first cousin(Fermanagh side of family) is married to a Speer whom she met, I presume, in Toronto. Her son has visited Ireland, and has done the ftdna tests. I will ask him if he has heard from any Fermanagh people.
