Don, Interesting that you should suggest Co. Fermanagh as my William Johnston, son of Red Robin, married a Sarah Johnstone, and we know that her family was from Cahore, Co. Fermanagh. I've posted over there, and no one has been able to find anything for me though...but that was a year ago - should try the Wee Three there too. Thanks. Cliff.

Get into the old plantation rosters. These old records are hard to find, but some are on the FermanaghGenWeb site.......with leads to others. Check Griffith's Valuation for many of the surname. Put dots on a map everywhere you find them and after awhile you will see the dots grouping close to other known relatives. If you find several known surnames grouped together, perhaps paydirt, or perhaps a big against the odds coincident. Good luck with your quest. Don ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cliff.
