My ancestors are found in Strabane in the parish of Camus, this is a new discovery for me as until a recent stroke of luck I found the birth of my fathers aunt Margaret Mccoy in Old Monkland Near Coatbridge in 1894, her father was Patrick McCoy who was born in Strabane in the parish of Camus in 1862, I would like to hear from other descendants of Patrick McCoy
Hello Eddie. If you are new to this list, I bid you WELCOME. For starters, I suggest that you go the web-site for this list, the URL for which is given at the foot of each posting. (But I will leave it intact at the foot of your posting too, just in case). If you then write CAMUS in the search box at the top of the home-page, you will obtain at the moment 41 hits for CAMUS. And there are several McCOYs within those hits. Just in case you are not familiar with the Householders Index (the first hit), the letter G after a surname indicates that it is from the Griffith Valuation (date given at the top of that page), and a T after a surname indicates that it is from a Tithe Applotment (date also given at the top of that page). I note there also a McCay which could be a transcription error; which is followed by a McClay which may or may not also be McCay / McCoy. There are also McCOYs lower down. I do hope that you will send your thanks personally or via this list to Jim Crabtree for all of your 'finds' on there, as he has done wonderful work in transcribing so much for us. Also Eddie, there is one peculiarity with this list which I cannot understand, but it will not assist you to Reply to the LIST - like I am doing here. To do this, you need to paste: COTYRONEIRELAND@rootsweb.com into you "To:" line. Good Luck.
