Hi, I have a William MARTIN that came to Ohio from Ireland in the early 1800s, probably around 1830 - 1840. He had a wife Sarah or Sally, children Martha, Mary and James Johnson. The family later relocated to New Castle PA. Any connection?

IRL-America Hi Lisers, I have two MARTIN brothers (born 1840 cc at Ballyblogh, Co. Monaghan, Ireland) who emigrated to America, probably between 1860-1880. Unfortunately, at this stage, I do not know their Christian names but their father was a William MARTIN, farmer of County Monaghan, Ireland and they had a brother John. I would like to make contact with their descendants in America and would appreciate any information regarding their movements after leaving Ireland. Elizabeth Gresty, Australia
