Hello Jim, The surname navigator at /www.rat.de/kuijsten/navigator/ will be useful for the unusual surnames in your list. ARMSTRONGS were originally a reiver family from the England/Scotland borderlands who were forced to move to County Fermanagh, in the main, so look at FERMANAGH-GOLD-L@rootsweb.com and www.fermanagh.org.uk where there is a surname search section. www.reivers.com will give you some history. freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~cotyroneireland/index1.html is the official website for the County Tyrone mailing list. You will find WASON and WASSON entries in the search box. There are also people looking for TONER so the name in the subject space will attract their attention or you can get their name from the mailing list archives at http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/NIR/CoTyroneIreland.html.
