Please see the above link to the excellent Armstrong Clan Association website. 
The Armstrong Clan was ‘revived,’ in July 1969, inspired by Neil Armstrong’s, 
‘one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.’ The Clan gathers every 
second year in the heart of Border Reiver county, in the Langholm, Canonbie, 
Lockerbie region in Scotland. There are fabulous Armstrong centric tours of the 
historically rich local area and dinners held over the weekend. 

The 20th July 2019, will be the Golden Jubilee, '50 Year Anniversary,' of the 
‘Armstrong clan coming together again. 

The Armstrong Clan Association has a huge data base of Armstrongs all over the 
world, (with many from Co.Tyrone & Fermanagh), and is accessible for a very 
small membership contribution, (easily payable via PayPal). There are many DNA 
studies of the various, Irish and international Armstrong descendants also 
available.  

The Armstrong stronghold of Gilnocke Tower has been beautifully restored in 
anticipation of the Jubilee celebrations this year. 


Kind regards 
Janet Fairless (nee Wilson)

Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] CoTyroneIreland.com - New Content - Kennedy Family Marriages 1796-1922, Co. Londonderry

I guess from the various postings about the Kennedy family in particular that 
someone on the List is researching Kennedy.

I too am researching Kennedy from the parish of Templecarne, Fermanagh/Donegal. 
 

I am wondering if the Kennedy researcher has been DNA tested.

If you are interested in background readingon the Armstrongs, and other border 
reiver families, such as Nixon, Elliot,Bell, Graham, Henderson, Hogg and many 
other names now common in Fermanagh& Tyrone then a good read is: “The Border 
Reivers” by Godfrey Watson ISBN 07091 4478 4. Published 1974. 


 
It explains about their almost completelylawless lives in the  1400s, 1500s 
andearly 1600s and how, as a result, many ended up in Fermanagh and 
adjacentcounties. Bloodthirsty stuff, with plenty of feuds, treachery, 
executions andcattle stealing.

We found many of her ancestors in the Maguires Bridge area.Enlisted the help of 
a local genealogist who got us pointed in the right direction.Visited a local 
cemetery and found LARGE headstones laying flat on the ground and they had 
church records and we visited the farm site where her Armstrongs had actually
