STACK: Robert Stack Most of my grandparents generation came to the US around 1900. They had a farm in the Skehanierin area and may still be in the family. My cousin Billy has been over and he connected with a Martin Stack who would be a second cousin. I believe his father was Ian Stack who passed away in the 1990s?. I’ll have ti get the lineage from him. Hopefully we can make some connections. If you know the family, let me know.
