My name is Mary Smith. My great grandfather was Joseph Smith from Aughnacliffe, Longford. He married Margaret from Dublin. They lived in Drumcondra Road in Dublin and had the following children:
Joseph, Richard, Alice, Derry, Colm, Rony and Sidney (my grandfather).
His father was also Joseph Smith. I know that he had a pub in Aughnaclife and may have been married to Alice. Any relatives out there, you can email me (arakelian@topmail.ie)

Mary,
I had sent you an email a few days ago. We believe that my fiance's grandfather, Thomas, was a brother to your grandfather. My fiance, Tom, remembers that his grandfather left Ireland with his brother Joseph around 1925 and settled in Rochester, NY. In the early 1970s, a few family members came from Ireland to visit. We know that Thomas Robert Smith was born in 1901 in Northern Ireland, he was Protestant, and left Ireland quickly with his brother Joseph(Jack). We are looking for information on his parents, grandparents, siblings, and any living family members.
Thank you,
Christina Ward and Tom Smith
