Hi,

I dont know if your still looking for information on the Fortune Family but my mother is (*) Fortune of Fortunes Pub, Ballycanew, Walter (Watt) was her dad. My Grandad! Out of the blue i just googled the name to see what came up and saw your search. The Pub hasn't been in the family for a few years now but id be happy to help you with any information you need.

Hello there,
I am interested about the Ballycanew School Register. How far back does it go and is it available online?

Thanks

Not sure if this post is still active but my grandfather was Laurence Fortune of Ballyduff, Ballycanew. I remember hearing about the Fortune pub growing up. His brother ran the pub. Laurence was the oldest boy in the Fortune family, his father was Thomas Fortune and Mother was Ellen Rourke. After the war of 1922 he went to Scotland with his wife and had a family there. I got my DNA test done and I'm on FamilyTreeDNA and ancestry.ie I would love to connect with other Fortune descendants. :)
