Hi Dave
Recommend the Ulster American Folk Park, just outside Omagh, in co. Tyrone.
Well worth a Day!

Washington
Thank you Len and Jim for that clipping! That was a 'brick wall' breakthrough
for our family. We've been searching for specific records relating to our 4x
great grandfather, Francis Little, who came to PA with his family in 1792 from
Tyrone. That's about as much as we knew.
There he is in the clipping, an emigrant recruiting agent for the ship "General
Washington" that apparently left Londonderry on June 1, 1792, or at 'first fair
wind after.' Also, that he was from the area of Augher (SE of Omagh),
something else we learned. Now, we hope to find a passenger list for that
sailing to see if the family is listed... may turn up in some Pennsylvania
records.
We are planning a family trip to that area next summer if anyone has any
suggestions for such a visit. Hope to get to PRONI archives for a bit.
Best regards,
Dave Lytle
