Posted on: County Longford, Ireland Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Ireland/Longford/744 Surname: BRADY, HOURICAN, BRIODY ------------------------- The short answer is, no. But with all the BRADYs and BRIODYs on my father's HOURICAN side, there might be a tie I'm just not aware of. One of the things that makes this stuff hard to figure out is the wide age range among the children of my paternal gr gr-parents; their oldest seems to have been born in 1811 & the youngest maybe 1848. I know of some of the people who didn't emigrate but only a few of those who did. Oh well, there's probably a family tie there somewhere but we won't be able to solve the mystery. Thanks for your response.
