John - delighted to hear from you.
I'm in this genealogy lark for the long haul, so its always lovely to hear from some one / anyone, regardless of the time that has passed.
I have an interest in ALL McCurdy family connections, and the McCurdy of Lisnagungoue is one such connection of which you are a part. Maurice McCurdy, a good friend from many long years standing, had mentioned you, and I had put that message our to see if I had the right Ward (or john Ward)!
Delighted to make your acquaintance. I actually live near Moira, but have a wee place (my batchelor pad) still up at Portstewart. It would be great to get to meet up and exchange details! If you were interested I am sure Maurice would be very willing to meet as well, give the specific connection between your two families.
My McCurdys hail from Toberkeigh and Croagh ... although there is a suggestion that a Charles left Toberkeigh in the late 1700's or early 1800's and settled in Lisnagunogue ... hence Maurice and your connection could be a distant connection to me also!
My direct email is Removed. if you would be interested to see my musings on your connection, I would be very happy to share it with you! If you drop be a direct email, I can respond with an attachment :-)
Kind regards for the moment, and hope we get to meet in 2024.
Shane McCurdy
