I have just added more than 400 new names to my family tree at Rootsweb. My focus this time is the line of Jacksons who started in Co. Meath, and then moved to Ballybay, Co. Monaghan in the mid 1700s. From there, many of them moved to America. They parked for periods of time in just about every county in Ireland, and married people from wherever they happened to land. I have written a blog to intorduce you to them and it contains links at the bottom to all the new material on both my web site and at Rootsweb. SEE: http://sharonoddiebrown.blogspot.com/2011/07/jackson-connexion.html The collateral lines of this lot have also introduced some promising leads with respect to connections with BOYDs, BROWNEs and others who lived in Armagh, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Monaghan, Cavan and Down. As I said, they did get around. Enjoy - and as always let me know about my mistakes. I often leave a few in my wake. Sharon Oddie Brown -- Sharon Oddie Brown, Roberts Creek, BC, Canada.
