I know my Armstrong's came from Scotland but they went to Ireland before America. I am stuck on my Wm (William) Armstrong, my GGG Grandfather, no one knows who his parents where or where born in Ireland. I believe he landed in Penn or NY and moved to RI. I believe my 4 or 5 x Great Grandparents came from Scotland. I wish I could break my wall. When I looked at the Armstrong Heritage Line, think it is $18 per yr, there was only one other looking for an Armstrong in the lineage itself.
My Armstrong line goes back at least to John Armstrong, born 1480 in Gilnockie, Scotland. Some of the links back to him have not been verified, so I limit my public genealogy to Armstrongs in the US.
Hi Ronald,
Do you know if your family stopped in Ireland?
I have William b about 1815, probably married to Frances Augusta Goodridge, Beverly, Essex, Massachusetts, United States
Their children born in Rhode Island:

John Ernest Armstrong
1848 –
Annie P Armstrong
1854 –
Frank H Armstrong
1856 –
George E Armstrong
1858 –

John's son was Frederic Ernest Sr and his son, my grandpa was Frederic Ernest Jr.

I hope to break down my wall.

Thanks
Hi Spirit,

Yes, they definitely spent some time in Ireland. This is where my fuzzy, unverified references are.
My most distant American ancestor is where the fuzziness starts. I really don't know his place of birth. It could be Lancaster, PA, or it could be Ireland. His parents are also not definitive, although I have narrowed it down to two likely possibilites, both born in Ireland. Either choice still traces back to John of Gilnockie.
