Hello all, I have an issue!! I have researched my family back to Ireland, and the stranaghan family, all good and fairly easy to a point. However, when one of the older Stranaghans die, a name pops up repeatedly to claim everything!

The last name is Martin, now I do have a Hugh Stranaghan marrying a Grace Martin, Grace born in 1826 and connected to Ballylone NI, and The guy who crops up is HANS Martin, Hans being an unusual name for Ireland, so not sure if there a brother that I'm just not seeing?

Each time I search it takes me to Denmark sires that I just don't have any clue where to start! I wonder if any one else can search and see if there's a Hans Martin whos stalking the Stranaghans of Ballylone and can I claim back all my land!! lol
