researching Furlong connection
I am researching the Furlong family of Ross. My records go back to 1750 and I suspect that your records are linked to my EKA - FURLONG James 1788-1865 Died Mar. 22, 1865 in Placentia, Newfoundland.
I have a William Furlong who was a mariner and shopkeeper in the area circa 1750. I also have evidence that the family originated in Ross and reason to believe that the following Wiilliam and John are ancestors of William; probably his father and his grandfather respectively.
Records of Ross (Ros Ailithir, Wood of the Pilgrims), Cathedral (Church of Ireland), Co. Cork, from 1685
“John the son of William Furlong was baptized December the 16th 1714”

Is anyone doing a family tree research project on your end for the Fulong surname and if so would they please contact me at pspearns@yahoo.com? This is my paternal grandmother's family.
Thank you.
