Have you tried PRONI, if they don't have the records and the churches, I can't see how you can get back any further. Other than Jane & James marriage theres no births/baptism coming up for any of the family. There's very few records online for presbyterian churches for Co Antrim.

Hi Ginny

I have tried so many sites over a period of years and have had no success whatsoever with the above. I have well and truly come up against a brick wall. Have even visited Ireland on several trips to visit my family in Scotland - no results from churches, headstones etc. Just don't know what to do next. Someone out there must know about my family. Any other suggestions you can make would be appreciated.

Regards
