Did you find any FORDs in your family named Bartholomew? His sons were James & John, daughters Ellen & Mary...I know my family were from Co Mayo, married at St. Muredach's in Ballina, 1833 to MEARS/MEER, but am having trouble finding the family. We have a FORD/FOY & others project at FTDNA.com called FORY. If you have done dna testing, I would welcome you to join the project to try to see if we are connected.
