Hi Michelle,
I descend from Thomas Craig, who was from the Balina, County Mayo area. His brother, James, immigrated to the USA and settled in Avoca with his first cousins (the Jackson's, Reap's, and Munley's). Thomas moved to the area later as well. I don't know anything else about his cousins. I was wondering if you know of any connection in your family to a Craig family. The places match up perfectly and I see that you have connections to both the Reap and Jackson families. Let me know if this sounds familiar at all to you. Hope to hear back!
