Geneology

[highlander_Daz]

David as records in Ireland are spartan at best, whilst your ancesters went to the states many Irish came to Glasgow or the midlands in England many catholic churches keep very accurate records (although written in latin) so church records are very helpful.

Alan,

You are absolutely correct, if you have traced your ancestor back to Ulster you have done a good job. I have one ancestor traced and documented back to Ulster, he came to the US about 1724, after that the records are almost non-existent. They found the birth record in Ulster, but that's it. Much of the information on the internet from that time period back is incorrect. The incorrect information seems to get posted over and over again.
