Re [4qd-bannvalley] Townland of Cah



Good Morning Derek,

Thank you for taking an interest in my research.  All the data that you
forwarded to me will be filed with my PAUL information because as of now I
see no link.  I recently had a real find through a picture of the graveyard
at Main Street Presbyterian Church, Garvagh.  On my great parents grave was
a fresh bouquet of flowers, telling me there had to be some kin in the area.
I will not burden you with the details, but I found 6 second cousins.  Up to
this time I knew nothing of my paternal lineage other than the name of my
grandmother and her two sister who emigrated to the USA.

I thought it might be of help to someone if I would give some data on my
lineage and you can decide if it would be of help to someone on the Bann
Valley list.
