> Hi Michael,
> I just thought I would share my breakthrough with you.
> I had posted a request for information on the Morris/Levingston family
> during the last roll call. Earlier this month I got an email from Tom
> Johnston saying that he had read my request and enclosed a list of Morris
> decendants dating back to 1809. Tom's ggggrandfather was the brother of
my
> husbands ggggrandmother, Mary Ellen Morris (nee Thorpe).
> Tom had kept in touch with the widow of a Francis Morris from Co. Carlow.
> Through her and research in Dublin, Tom was able to provide me with a long
> list of ancestors. We also found out that my father-in-law had 19
cousins,
> some of whom are still living.
> I passed the information on to my sister-in-law who is also trying to
track
> the family and she came up with an interesting article from the May 19,
2000
> Carlow Nationalist
> (http://archives.tcm.ie/carlownationalist/2000/05/19/story8514.asp)
> This just goes to show that roll calls do occasionally pay off!!
>
> Thank you very much for putting the roll call requests on your website.
> Without it I may never have broken through the brick wall!. Now we are
> encouraging my father-in-law to take up correspondence with the remaining
> cousins in hopes to find out even more information.
