My Joseph T. Furlong was born @1857 in @St. Johns, NF. I've not found his Baptismal info yet but his death cert said his father was Thomas J. Furlong. I do not consider that DC reliable as other info on the cert was wrong. However, family lore has Joe upset when his son Thomas J Furlong didn't give Joe's name until his fourth son and didn't use the T. I believe Joe named his first son Thomas J after his father. He named his second son Joseph following the old Irish way. Thomas J. Furlong Born in Ireland? Joseph T Furlong Born in St. Johns? m Agnes Kavanagh Born on Belle Isle Thomas J. Furlong Born/Baptised in St. Johns When Joseph married Agnes, she had been living in Torbay. The minister in the Basilica was the parish priest in Torbay for a number of years. Any clues to Joseph's ancestry would be appreciated. There are also hundreds of Furlongs listed on my Furlong page. judy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Judy Picard ===========================> judypicard@Old-Irish.com Furlong site ======================> http://Best-spot.com/Furlong Normore site ======================> http://Best-spot.com/Normore Normore Messages Group ===================>http://yahoogroups.com The Geberts ==========================> http://Best-spot.com/Gebert Gebert Messages Group ====================>http://yahoogroups.com Kelly Brown Coulter ===============> http://w3.tvi.cc.nm.us/~judyp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
