Mark,
Can you enlighten me as to why you have included the arms of Fermanagh in your montage?

William

The top 5 surname in County Fermanagh in the mid 20th century are Maguire, Johnston, Armstrong, McManus, and Elliott. We intermarried, but when people took their battlefield to the today's EU-UK Irish border as refugees we migrated to West Germany. The Tories may family chased out of America, again created from an EU-EU border a EU-UK border around our County Fermanagh. In the Battle of Dryffe Sands, the Armstrong and Elliott joined on the Scottish side the Johnston, against the English and Maxwell. There should be no border in Ireland in order for peace.  Saint Patrich can take his Crozier out and chase those Irish border Union-Jack Tories out of Ireland, like us people chased them out of American in 1776. There is more than enough assistance around what was once the British Empire which the sun never sat on.

Sincerely,

Mark S. Elliott

Correction, Balliol is Abirnethy-Abernethy, and Stewart is Stewart of Garlies, Jedworth-Jedburgh, and Dalswinton.

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
