There are loads of Armstrongs still in Meath. I knew several around Kells: the family are Auctioneers in the town and used to live in a smart house just outside.

Welcome to RootsChat, Bruno the labrador.

Mary www.eircomphonebook.ie might get you a few useful addresses. You could write to a few of the Armstrongs in Meath. You never know ... you might find a living relative. Mention RootsChat if you do
send them letters. It's a good way to spread the word

Hi -
 Plenty of Armstrongs in Co. Meath area, still.   Armstrongs Solicitors in Kells, for generations : some still around. Some in surrounding counties, too.
