Hi Elizabeth, One good place to start is Bill Macafee's excellent website on Antrim & L'Derry local history and genealogy. There is an incredible amount of material to mine as he has multiple data-bases - in addition he provides contextual detail on all of the sources he provides on his website. I had the pleasure of working with Bill on his Co Derry/Londonderry CD and he is really a mine of information. His enthusiasm for local history is second to none.
http://www.billmacafee.com/ I recommend this as one of the best sites for information for this region anywhere on the internet. Kindest Regards Bobby ________________________________ From: Elizabeth Vervaeke <e.verva...@gmail.com> Sent: 15 June 2020 12:18 To: CoTyroneIreland.com Mailing List <cotyronelist@cotyroneireland.com> Cc: Robert Forrest <bobbyforres...@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] Senior and Junior Is there a way for folks overseas ( Canada) to research these records?

Family tradition says that the Robert Morrison one of the 13 to shut the gates at the famous siege of Derry was from this family (oral tradition). The Registry of Deeds is perhaps the only archive in Ireland to escape unscathed over the years and the records are intact from 1708. A must for eighteenth century research. https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/sites/default/files/publications/Your-family-tree-series-information-leaflet-17-Registry-of-Deeds-Dublin.pdf Kindest regards Bobby Forrest _______________________________________________ CoTyroneList Mailing List Mailing List Email Address: CoTyroneList@cotyroneireland.com<mailto:CoTyroneList@cotyroneireland.com> Change Your Preferences: http://cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneireland.com Mailing List Archive: https://goo.gl/mQCKrY _______________________________________________ CoTyroneList Mailing List Mailing List Email Address: CoTyroneList@cotyroneireland.com Change Your Preferences: http://cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneireland.com Mailing List Archive: https://goo.gl/mQCKrY
