I'm writing on behalf of my husband, John Boyd McShane. I have been researching his ancestors in this country & have traced his Boyd line back to your county. James & Letitia Boyd came from the parish of Fuerty to the US about 1860 & they lived in Taunton, MA. I have an idea Letitia's maiden name was Corragan (or similar spelling). James was born in 1805 & Letitia was born in 1814. My husband & I plan to visit Ireland this coming May. We plan to visit Roscommon. Do you have suggestions as to how we might proceed to learn more about his Boyd ancestors while we're there? Or is it something that can be entirely done on the internet? Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, Carol McShane
