This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Forbes; McAdam Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EEX.2ACIB/629.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Gayle, Yes, I do mean Armagh in Nth Ireland. I do not know of any relations of John Forbes other than that he married his wife Sarah Jane McAdam in Ireland. He named his children David;Elizabeth Anne;Rachel Jane; Martha Margaret; Henry Dawson; John William; Olivia Mary These may give clues to the names of his and his wife's parents names. I have a photocopy of a photograph of John and Sarah. Not good quality - but John appears to be quite a tall man. he is wearing a full beard. I would love to hear what you know of possible family connections. Perhaps you can email me direct on hughsmob@bigpond.net.au Regards Geoff
