Hi Donna, You could write a letter to the editor of a Longford newspaper, which I am sure he would publish. List everything you know and you might find some relatives. People will be anxious to help, the Irish are so friendly and helpful. I have been every year for the past 5/6 years, didn't go this year but will go next year, particularly to Muckenagh, Noughaval, mostly in Westmeath but partly in Longford. I hope to trace descendants of my gt.gt.grandfather Lawrence IGOE, died 1876 aged 50, his wife was Julia MacCorm*ck, alive at his death. Their son John, born 1850, left home for Dublin then London where he married a Dublin girl in 1872. Keep us posted on what you learn and good luck on your trip. Irene of Seattle former Londoner
