Hi Busbar, aka "David"! That is amazing we share first names! Thank you for responding, and I do hope we can find some linkage. The only names I have from Tullylish are John and Josephs (2 of them). I think (guess) John and Joseph were brothers (born @ 1820-30's) and their Dad was Joseph (@1800?). Since they first show up in New York in the 1860 US census, I've guessed they came over due to the famine. So, no, the other names you mention are unfamiliar. Are you on Ancestry.com, or FamilyTree DNA? I am on the FTDNA Chambers Project.
My Dad (Ed Chambers) visited Londonderry in WWII. He was on a a US Cost Guard Cutter. The ship had an accident, and he was hurt pretty bad, and stayed in a Londonderry hospital for a month.
Hope to hear more from you, and maybe Jane Meek will shoe up in your records.
Dave
