Thank you! The links are most appreciated and provide some additional information for me. I recently found a number of pictures from the 1920's and 1930's. One of which may be Alexander Kirk - brother of John Charles Kirk.

Have you made contact with other descendants of Andrew/Mary Jane or Francis/Nancy?

Andrew Kirk (son of Francis Kirk and Nancy Allen) is my 2nd great-grandfather, and the father of John Charles Kirk b 1886. Very interesting is the ages as it appears that Andrew was 46 when John was born.

John was baptized in the 3rd Rathfriland Presbyterian Church in 1887, emigrated to USA and died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1958. He married Jane Crothers Lawson - her parents came from Rathfriland as well. John had 2 daughters, Jean and Mary (my mother).

I don't have information on his uncles, brothers or sisters. I've always been told that 3 brothers emigrated to Canada, South Africa and New Zealand. Nor do i have information further back than Francis Kirk and Nancy Allen. How long have the Kirk's been in Ireland?
