I have seen most of the census film and copied all the information pertaining to my families. Now I am looking for Bibles, letters, journals, diaries, etc. to put in my second book about these families. Most of this type information would only be held by descendants or others searching the same families. I know it is difficult to make a connection with other people researching the same family, but the Armstrong county mail list seemed to be the best place to start. I believe that my William Hall and William Cook were the only families with these names that came to Armstrong from Donegal County, Irelend during the 1830s.
