Hi Jim, Thanks for the response. I am looking for information on my father's mother. My mother's maiden name was Ruehl. She was from a Prussian family, Schnabel. Her great grandfather graduated medical school around 1950, and was recruited to come to America and take commission as a Field Doctor in the Union Army during the Civil war. Her family had a falling out with my dad's folks, so No one will share any information on my Paternal grandparents, though both died back in the 1970's. My paternal grandmother was from the Tyrone area. the village was small and Woods still live in Her maiden name was Woods, Susan Woods. Her brothers were Patrick, James and Peter. Sisters were Alice, Catherine, Mary Ann, Agnes,Rose and Brigid. I believe some of the family still resides in Pomeroy County, Tyrone in Northern Ireland. All I heard from my niece, Loren Rodgers who visited there in 2022 was the area is called Omagh. I do not know if that is a village, city or county? Amy help will be appreciated. Does Ireland have population detail records. It seems very difficult to even get something like a telephone number by looking for a Phone book? I currently live in Lithuania, and I think it is less than 2 hours by air gfrom here to Belfast or Dublin. Blessings, Will Rodgers Author:
