Dave: Thank you for your questions-- I'll do my best to answer them. >I am wondering how you got to Albert Strong,sr, in progressing from >your earlier research as detailed in the message of Jan 7,2002, pasted >in below? I was cleaning off my desk and found an email I had saved from 1999. It was from a Grover S. and Carol L. Garrett, but their return address no longer works, so I put the question to you. Their email indicates "The Strong family I know about came from Ireland, to perhaps Virginia, then to Guernsey County, Ohio in about 1830, then to Cumberland County, Illinois in 1861." In reading this again, it occurs to me that I made an error in interpreting the dates, and it is likely this Albert didn't arrive as early as I thought. 1) How do you know that Albert Strong,SR, was from Ireland? email from Grover S. and Carol L. Garrett 2) How, if at all, is he related to the earlier individuals you listed... Richard, Nathaniel, Thomas, Benjamin, and William, etc? He probably isn't. I have a local county history (Fayette, IN) indicating that Richard's grandfather came over from the "Emerald Isle", and that's where I'm getting Ireland. However, my misinterpretation of the dates probably eliminates him as a candidate for being related to the group I mentioned earlier. (Do you have anything on that group? I didn't see a reply.) 3) Do you know what his occupation was? No 4) Do you know what his religion was? No Sorry to have so little for you. As I mentioned, this was a email that I had saved and found last night. It really doesn't seem to connect to my group, but perhaps you know the people who sent the email to me. They indicated they had quite a bit of information, and I'm sure they'd contribute it. Rene'

Thanks, Rene: No, I don't know the Garretts... never heard of them. If they are members of the list, or if someone else knows how to contact them, please let me know. I took another look at the Irish Strong Database. There actually are only 4 records relating to an Albert Strong... and I think they really involve just two individuals. One from Kings County, Ireland, and one from County Donegal, Ireland. Sorry this lead didn't work out for you... but I do hope that somehow we can find the Garretts. It seems possible we may be able to help each other. Regards Dave Strong ===================== ----- Original Message ----- From: Rene' E.

Rene... Back to Richard Strong... can you answer the questions I posed earlier about him? There are a few more Richards than Alberts in the database! {:-) Dave ========== ----- Original Message ----- From: Rene' E.
