Hi Rod,  hallmark's contribution leads me to:- Ross, Rowan and other possibly relevant trees,  exist, in the Blackwood Family History manuscript trees Collection in the LinenHall library, Belfast. Visit if you can give them warning helps, if you cant then I suggest you write to them asking them for photocopying estimates only if they think your knowledge relevant and be prepared to pay the extra for post and packing if you are tempted.  the following might be out of date but gives you an idea of how things might be charged “The Library welcomes all research enquiries, whether made in person, by phone, fax, letter or e-mail.

Thanks Jim and Hallmark

You have given me plenty to go on, seems I have a fair bit of research to do. I will get back to this thread later with whatever I can find.

Also Jim thanks for the good luck wish, I think I will need it. I maybe chasing rainbows, but who knows there may be a pot of gold at the end of them.

What did you make of the

"...the descendants of James Rowan of Ballymcareny, Co. Down, and to his grandson James Stephen Rowan of Longreach, Queensland,..."

Pedigree I posted??

Hi Hallmark

James Rowan s of Ballymcareny and Longreach doesn't immediately ring any bells, however it is something that I will certainly look into and get back to this post.

Thanks again for your interest and for the useful inputs.

Best Wishes
Rod
