Thank you so very much for the information Sue... I just know there has to
be a connection to my AGAR...
my Grandfather:
JOHN NEWTON AGAR/AGER Jr b. 1884 USA
Great Grandfather:
JOHN NEWTON AGER Sr b. 1858 USA
GG Grandfather:
John ? Agar/Ager b. 1830 Ireland

Now if I can only figure out away to prove it... I have always thought
perhaps the "NEWTON" was a surname and I see where there were Newton's
living near by.

Do wish I could get back another 50 years in Ireland...but just maybe if I
start with the information you sent me it will afford that opportunity.....
Once again Thank You... Yvonne
