Brocks/Brochs in Ireland
« on: Wednesday 15 April 09 23:00 BST (UK) »
Looking for Brocks in Ireland.  We have a DNA project and welcome any Irish Brocks or other similar surnames  that would like to participate.  Especially interested in the surname Brockdale or Brockdell. We would like to find anyone with an ancestor named Reuben Brock that came from Ireland to the America in the 1600's.
