Ignore the sign saying it's discontinued, and click on download A-Z directory. The area you want is Northern Ireland South west. The residential addresses are in the second part of the book so Woods is close to the end. Omagh and Pomeroy are two different places about 15 miles apart in County Tyrone. Unfortunately I have no information relating to the Woods family, but hopefully the phone book is of some help.

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.

Take our own granddaughter who, for professional reasons, retained her maiden name on marriage. Then, to compound the problem, her daughter (our great granddaughter) was given her mother's surname (better to call it family-name, I suppose, since 'sir' didn't convey his) and not her father's. Haven't asked why and it's not that her father had a strange name. So we continue to stumble along the family genealogy line in our searches. 😊 Gordon On 12/06/2024 7:10 am, Jim Rodgers via CoTyroneList wrote: Will, Was your Mother's maiden name Rodgers and that is why Patrick O'Shaughnessy changed his name to Rodgers? I visited Tyrone last August and met several relatives, Rodgers and Maguire some of them ended up in Philadelphia. Most of the my Rodgers' relatives ended up in Ohio.

His mother left Ireland somewhere between 1920-25. at about age 20+. She took an ocean liner from I believe Galway port. She was bound for New York. She was to meet a family in the US who lived in Patterson, New Jersey. Next I found she met a Patrick O'Shaughnessy in Philadelphia. Patrick had a hard time getting a job so he changed his last name to Rodgers. Susan, Mrs Rodgers somehow acquired a small business deliverng Ice, and later coal. She also renter out rooms in thieir house to earn money. Would know where I may find any surviving relatives in the Tyrone area? I moved from the US in 2019, and live in Lithuania. I could easily visit in July if you find any information THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
