I subscribed to the Monaghan list in order to attempt to find information regarding my paternal great grandfather - ARCHIBALD ARMOUR. He reputedly came from County Fermanagh but I have been unable to find any documentation of an Armour family in that County. I did however find an Armour family in Clones, Monaghan and am wondering if there is a connection or if anyone on the list would have any recollection of this name in County Monaghan. My grandmother's parents were Johnston and Jane Armstrong from County Fermanagh and my problem with them is quite different. There are so many Armstrongs there that it is difficult to determine to which family they belong. Shirlie (Armour) Black
