RE: gateway knox again.


William
Excuse me!
Where a persons family is paramount as a person just does not pop up some where.
There are just a few knox families in Ireland. They remained in pockets.
I have just provided this to provide materials for others as I am not a professional as you are. I am working on many lines as you are. I have used Irish sources.

Since You are a professional I challenge you to provide a better solution.
I look forward to your material.
Sincerely
Ray

To whom it may concern,
Perhaps it is news to you that the records in Ireland were burned in 1922. So ALL one really has to work with is secondary sources.
There are very and I mean very very few probates left in ireland and those are the ones that were in personal possession at the time of the fire and were brought back to the Irish archives.

What happened in Ireland in 1922 has nothing whatever to do with
finding any evidence whatsoever to connect your line from President
Polk back *to* Ireland. That's a red herring.

First you need to present your evidence from President Knox back to
his immigrant ancestors, resolving the outstanding issues before you
can even attempt to cross the ocean.


I am not interested in printing or publishing this line, it is for the use of the list only.

That's good because no reputable publication would touch it.

I have looked for knox probates and there are very very few.
We know the knox's were from Colerain as the Polk or Pollock family was from there.

Where one family is from, has nothing to do with where another one is
from. Do you assume that all marriages are of families who lived in
the same place ?

I will check more throughly on the Gracie matter, but what i have is from reputable sources.

Apparently your "reputable sources" whatever they are, are incorrect.
Perhaps you could actually present them instead of merely talking
about them.

I have shown with sources for the connection to the Knox's of Donegal, and londonderry, I.E. the Colerain family from the geneological office pedigree, to the silvieland and Ranfurlie Family.

Actually you haven't.

I will continue to work on this line, how ever at this time I consider it valid.
Sincerely,
Ray

Of course you do. It's your hobby horse and you will damn well ride
it and scuttle the rest, won't you. Don't worry about actual evidence
when you can link together mythical pedigrees to gain a royal ascent.
