Jennifer If you have got your research back to the 1600s you have probably done better than many of us. Irish records as you probably know, have suffered over the years and the 1922 fire in the Public Record Office wied out a lot of things that are standard in other countries - wills and censuses being the most obvious. What is left are remnants, as you have found, and secondary sources. You are lucky in that the McKemy /Mackemie is well known in Donegal. One source is the book published in 1908 'In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery' by the Rev Alexander G Lecky This was long before anyone indexed such books but Francis McKemy ,as one of the first Presbyterian ministers sent to America , has a few pages in an Appendix. In lists of the ruling elders from various parishes Francis McKemy and Robert McKemy both appear for Killygarvan (Rathmullan) between 1672 and 1700. The appendix gives no genelogical info but does mention his religious studies and persecution of Protestants at that time. Francis McKemy emigrated to America and was prominent in setting up one of the first Presbyteries in America.in 1706. I don't have the following book but if it includes your family it is helpful Three Hundred Years of Inishowen by Amy Young Again long out of print but like the Laggan books sometimes turn up in used book stores. I searched an index of wills I have but none appear to have survived for your name. One other possible source is land records. Some may have survived but I don't know who the main owner of land around Rathmullan was. Maybe someone else does and you can check PRONI for the records or NLI in Dublin. Rachel Rachel
