Dear Maureen. I have Somers on my father's line, but have little real information. Just in case here is what I have: Catherine Somers year of birth not known, but her son, my grandfather, was born 1870 - so a guess would be 1845. She died ~1911. Family history says her family came north to Co. Armagh "to work on the railroad being built". But it also says (with several ??) that the family came from Carlow! So maybe no connection at all. Do you have any known links to Co. Armagh or the White or Woods lines? Hope it helps, Mike
