I have a number of letters written to my g-grandfather, William John ROSBOROUGH toward the end of his life (1938-1941). These letters are from his brother and a few others, filling him in on people he knew before he emigrated to the US around 1890. My Rosboroughs came from the town of Lisbunny, Claudy, Co. Derry but there is mention of other locations - many nearby, others further away.

I have listed each of the 60+ names mentioned in these letters as well as any associated locations that were mentioned. If anyone is interested in any of these names, I'd be happy to share the context of the name in the letters. There is little more I can offer than what is in the letters themselves. The spelling in many of the letters is poor and the transcription sometimes difficult, so errors in names and locations are certainly possible.
