My husbands family has Irish roots, his great-great-grandfather was Martin Strong from Raheen parish in Offaly. We travelled over to Ireland this summer and were lucky enough to visit with relatives we found over there. If anyone has any more news, we would be very pleased to hear from you. Martin Strong (1813 at Co.Kings - 1865) married Brigitte McCaffrey (1825 also Co. Kings) )(I am not sure of the spelling of her name) and they came to Canada and settled in our small community. Two brothers remained in Ireland. Their names were Patrick and James from what I hear. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello Pete & Norma.... I have a little bit of info re Martin Strong and his brothers, James and Patrick in the Irish Strong Database. You can see the on-line version re Kings County, Ireland at the following web address: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegalstrongs/kings.htm You will note that the three brothers are mentioned in the database, based on information gleaned from "The McCabe List". See discussion clipped and pasted below. James was apparently interviewed IN CANADA circa 1823. A report of the interview indicated that he then had two brothers, Patrick and Martin who at that time were still in Kings County. I have had some email and other correspondence in the past with a descendant of James Strong, Trish Trihow. Some excerpts are also found below. I have a few other correspondants who have Strong lines originating in Kings and Queens Counties, in locations immediately adjacent across the county boundary line. I have copied this message to the other correspondants. Perhaps working together, you will all be able to make some progress. There are some very interesting questions about the Kings and Queens County Strongs, specifically as to whether they are related to certain other Strong lines in Counties Cavan, Monaghan, Longford. It would be VERY helpful if Pete would consider joining the DNA Study we have just initiated. See: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegalstrongs/dnastudy.htm Can you identify the relatives you found in Ireland for us?? Also, where in Canada did Martin and his family settle? That information could be very helpful in regard to further research. I look forward to hearing further from you.

Thanks for visiting my IRELAND file at the "Researching Strongs in Britain and Ireland" website! I think the information below will be of assistance! The three records you asked about were derived from what is known as the "McCabe List"... Basically the McCabe List was compiled as of 5 February 1829, by a gentleman named McCabe who interviewed a large number of "Irish" immigrants then living in the Otttawa Valley of what was then Upper Canada, now Ontario, for the purpose of obtaining the names and addresses of potential additional immigrants who were then still in Ireland. The McCabe List is presently held in the Public Record Office, (PRO) at Kew, in London, England. It was republished in 1991 by the Ontario Genealogical Society in it's publication "Families", in Vol.30, No.2, at p.77 ff, with the info you are interested in appearing at page 87. Apparently James Strong was then residing in the Ottawa Valley, with a wife. A coded entry also indicates "two families", which may refer to the two families of his brothers, then still in Ireland. Our IRELAND file record contains the following transcription from the McCabe List in the remarks field: James Strong, #649, "Has two Brothers, Patrick and Martin, both with large families; Residence Kilcoony, near Portarlington- they are known to the Revd Mr. Webb of Said Place. Code entry for James indicates 1 male, 1 female, 2 families." Collation of the place names with other info available to us indicates Kilcoony Townland was located in Raheen Parish, in the Barony of Raheen, in King's County, also known as County Offally. I am taking the liberty of publishing your inquiry on the STRONG-List as we have a couple of other researchers interested in Strong/Strange/LeStrange surnames in Kings County who might be interested in this information. Can you share with us any other info about your line of Strongs? I suspect there may be additional information concerning your line to be found on a diligent investigation of the proper records. Please let me know if there is any thing else I can do to help "point you in the right direction"! Are you now a member of the Strong List? If not, please consider joining the list and sharing your info in open discussion with other researchers. Regards, David B. "Dave" Strong *********************************************************** TR>David, TR> I am interested in three records I found on the Strong family home page.

Recently there has been an effort to initiate a DNA Study for the benefit of the many researchers and their families who have been unable to break through some of those "brickwalls" . So many of us are able to trace our lineages back several generations before coming up against a frustrating lack of records which tend to make "proof" impossible. Many of us have hunches and a lot of positive evidence pointing to lineage connections, but not enough to establish the links which make the connection. Now we have a new tool which may prove or disprove relationships, and aid us in persuing the most likely research which will prove the connection.... a DNA Study. I have established a new webpage initiating the LeStrange-Strange-Strang-Stronge-Strong DNA Study. See: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegalstrongs/dnastudy.htm The webpage is now fully operational. You are invited to visit the webpage, and if possible, join the study. This study is for everyone.... if possible, please consider joining even if you are certain you have traced your lineage as far back as it is possible to go. For example, if you are a member of the Elder John Strong lines originating in New England, you may already have your lineage very well established back to the 1630's; however, please consider that by joining the study you will be helping others trace their lines as well. How? By establishing a prototype of the Elder John Strong "haplotype" in the DNA Study, you will provide researchers of un-linked lineages with a possibility of matching the Elder John DNA haplotype... proving or disproving a relationship link. Interested researchers will not be able to find out the name of their missing link... but they will be able to establish whether they are on the right track, and gain some prediction of how many generations back they will have to go in order to establish a "Most Recent Common Ancestor". The same can be said for many lines being researched around the world. The webpage outlines some of the goals of the study which may be useful to every person researching one of the variant surnames, LeStrange, Strange, Strang, Stronge, and Strong. The DNA Study has certain limitations dictated by the technology involved. Not everyone will be able to join the study, but perhaps they will have a male LeStrange-Strange-Strang-Stronge-Strong relative who can join the study. Please try to enlist volunteers from any of these lines in the study. One can join the study directly from the website, and get the advantage of a reduced rate for the test provided to us by Family Tree DNA, a genetic testing company whose services are being used by over 250 "one-name" family surname studies. The company has an established reputation, and is providing us with a service which may prove invaluable. If you have any questions after reviewing the webpage, please let me know. This is a cooperative research effort involving the efforts of everyone who joins the study. There is no proprietarial interest in the results of the study. It's benefits are intended to be available to all. I invite any and all interested researchers of the various lineages out there to jump in and suggest possible benefits of this study for their particular lines. Volunteers are needed. Please join the study!

Hello to all. Many of you may remember Dale G. Strong, at one time the SFAA Associate Historian for "Irish" Strongs. Sadly, I just learned that Dale passed away at his home in Cassatt, South Carolina, this past week. Dale was well into his 80's and had lived a long and interesting life. Born in Morgan County, Ohio, he was descended from a family of Strongs which emigrated from County Donegal, Ireland in the period from 1820 to about 1835. Members of his family went variously to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and to St. John, New Brunswick, and then rejoined in Ohio, where they homesteaded in Morgan County. Members of the family fought in the US Civil War, became newspaper publishers, school teachers, and prospered in many ways. Dale became an agriculture specialist, having gained a Master's Degree early in life. He served in Pakistan as an Agricultural Advisor working for the US government during the 60's. In his retirement, he and his late wife Fern chose to live in South Carolina, and a number of their adult children and grandchildren reside there today. In the early 1980's Dale traveled to Ireland, researching his family roots. As a result, he wrote a book about "The Descendants of John Strong and Martha Watson of Drumhome Parish, County Donegal", which has been a source of much data and information to me and other researchers of the Donegal Strongs. He passed much information and gave a great deal of guidance and inspiration to me. While we were never able to prove it, I am sure we were distant cousins. Last year we had the pleasure to visit Dale and Fern in their home and reminise about many aspects of life in general. They were getting on in years, but were as feisty as I had remembered from years past. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Unfortunately, not long after we saw them, Fern passed away, and now Dale has joined her. They were good friends to me, and I shall miss them. His family will be taking Dale's ashes to Ohio this next weekend and will be placing them in the family cemetery, beside Fern, as he desired. If a more complete obituary comes my way, I shall endeavor to pass it along. Regretfully, Dave Strong

Hi, By chance do you have a copy of the name index of SFAA books Lyle publish year before last. I need to borrow one, or buy one at a profit to the owner! Jim jegilbert@comcast.net

Mary Strong propably is another cousin, I haven't been to Moss, TN since I was about 10 years old, that's 30 years ago! But I'm sure she is of our same blood line, since that's where my dad & his family lived. I look forward to a Strong Family Reunion! ----- Original Message ----- From: <DaveTikes@aol.com> To: <STRONG-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 8:29 AM Subject: [STRONG] Strong in Moss, Tn. > In a message dated 10/29/02 9:01:19 PM Eastern Standard Time, > flyingjt@bellsouth.net writes: > > > > I am Pamela Strong Turner.

I have recently moved and have just discovered the DNA study threads on my prior email address. I am interested in the study, but would like to have a "ball park" cost figure. I'm not real computer literate, and I realize this isn't the place to request information, but would anyone on the Strong list be able to tell me how I can get my email address changed so I can get the Strong mailings sent to my new one? Thank you.
