INFORMATION UPDATE:

I am trying to uncover family from County Tyrone, Ireland.

I am especially intrested in tracing the Greer family back as there has been mention of a Jewish connection in this line (although this could branch off so I need to keep an open mind if its true at all, its a strange story to be carried through the family tho).

I have listed the family starting with the oldest generation then moving forward. I am keen to go back through the line and also sideway to find siblings as i have reached a brick wall here.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated :)
