Tyrone, Ire. in 1851 to Ontario (the Allen settlement.) One of their children was John, who married Catherine Long in 1874. They had a family of 8 sons and 2 dau. Joseph, John Frederick, Margaret, Annie, William, Alfred Beatty, Alfred Beatty, Francis, Robert Henry (Harry), George. I am a U.S. resident, age 62, and am a descendent of of one of their sons. I have the family bible of John & Catherine and wish to give it to other descendents in Canada as I am single and emigrating to Europe. I will be leaving soon and am anxious to return this family treasure back to interested family members. I have no addresses for Canadian members of the family, though I do have a copy of a family tree compiled by a Beulah Woods sometime in the 80s. Many present descendents of this Woods family live in the area Belleville, Ont. If you can help me get in touch with members of this family I would be extremely appreciative. Please contact me by e-mail as my server does not carry all the messages of the various newsgroups. Jack Carroll "kevxu" <kevxu@worldnet.att.net> ______________________________
