The new Guestbook has been developed because on 6 Sep 2017 Rootsweb announced that they will be discontinuing their Guestbooks as of 13 Oct 2017. We have found this to be a valuable tool for our members, therefore, we kept the old entries. With the creation of our New Guestbook, we continue to offer this long-standing service.

Hi, I am research my ancestor George Alexander, died 1847 and buried in the Grange graveyard. Is wife Janet (nee Hannah) took over their farm. I descend from their eldest daughter Mary who married John B. GUTHRIE and moved to Scotland. Her younger sister Agnes married another Guthrie brother. They appear according to church records to have other younger siblings Janet, George and John.
I would like to know exactly where there farm was and if possible about when George moved from Longforgan Perth Scotland to begin farming in Grange Foyle. Also how would he have obtained the land. Also if anyone knows what happened to the other siblings, did any of them stay in Ireland?
George was born in 1798 (approx)

Hello! I am looking at some genealogical information provided by a family friend and it seems the farthest back he could trace the Bartley side of the family is to Robert James Bartley, b. 1777 Tyrone, Northern Ireland; d. 1852 Pennsylvania. I was hoping to unearth a bit more genealogical history on this branch of the Bartley's, if possible.

Helo, I am looking for any information about the BARKER family who lived in Co Tyrone, specifically WILLIAM BARKER who married JANE HUMPHRIES in 1828. My great grandmother was MARY BARKER, born in Co Tyrone about 1823 and married HUGH DENNIS, both living at Bathgate in Scotland before returning to Goland, Castlederg.
I can find no record of Mary's birth or family and aM trying to discover if she has any connection to the family of William and Jane.
Any help at all would be very greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks for posting "BERDEEN to BUTLER Co. Antrim Deaths, As Reported In The Londonderry Sentinel 1829-1869". Found good additional detail for my Burke ancestors & relatives (M.R. and Alexander Richley).

An excellent site. Please note that the caption for the Brown, Fulton, Lynch headstone should read simply “Lynch” as the other names are all forenames only, from previous generation surnames. I know this because I am a nephew of Anna Lynch, née Fulton, and her husband Wilmot Lynch.

I am primarily researching the Scottish Macklin's of County Armagh and County Monaghan. I'm looking for early records for the Presbyterians and Church of Ireland. I also have collected records for the Macklin's of County Tyrone, Down, Longford and County Donegal if anyone is interested.
