H E L P ! I'm gonna try a little bit different approach to this and see if I have any better results. I have found out that my ancestors, the TRUESDALE/DEL family, moved into the area of Kinghill, Clonduff, County Down in the very early 1700s, supposedly from somewhere around Drogheda. Land was leased, 72 acres, from the local landowner, John NEWELL, and the family built a stone cottage there. Does anyone have information about the NEWELL family and its land holdings and records from back then that they would be willing to check for me? There might be some valuable information in there about the TRUESDALE/DEL family. Thank you. Bill Hughes [email protected] Peoria, Arizona ô¿ô SMILE, it drives the "normal" folks crazy!
