Home Page
The main aim of this web
site is to provide materials which might be of some
use to people with an interest in family and local
history within Northern Ireland and the province of Ulster.
At the moment the materials refer to my home county of Antrim, particularly the area
around Ballymoney. I hope to add material relating
to other areas in the province at a later date.
The sections Family
History, Local History and Sources are general and
introductory. They should also give you an idea of
where I am coming from.
At the moment, my major
input of actual sources to the site is Sources for
the Study of Family and Local
History in Ballymoney. The sources in this site are
presented in three major formats.
- Copies of pages
from records such as Griffith's Printed
Valuation or copies of maps and photographs.
- Transcripts of
documents such as emigrant letters.
- Tables which contain
sorted lists of names,
townlands, etc.-
read
more.
Most of the records
on this web site have been sourced from the Public
Record Office (PRONI), Belfast and are reproduced with the
kind permission of the Deputy Keeper of Records,
Public Record Office of Northern Ireland.
At the moment the
links to the seventeenth and eighteenth-century
sources only cover the Ballymoney district. I hope
to add other areas later. Before you look at these
tables read
this about surnames.
The links in the
right-hand menu are to sites which contain sources
that would be of interest to family and local
historians.
Feel free to contact
me if you see any glaring mistakes on the site or
you think I have got a surname or a townland wrong in any of the
tables.
