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
