Hi Dave, I noticed the name Gertrude in your family. I have a Gertrude E. Byrne born in Longford but I haven't as yet been able to tie her to anyone on the list. I think her father was Patrick Byrne. Her brother was John Byrne who moved to the Birmingham area of England. It's a long shot but there may be a connection as there are not too many Gertrude first names coming from Longford as I know. If anyone else on the list has a Gertrude from Longford in there family name between before1880, would you be kind enough to drop me a line. [email protected] All the Best, Paul Broughton
