    3. Hi! I assumed that my ancestors, Johnston (b. 1790) and Joseph (b.1786) REA were Presbyterian. Well, you know what that made me when I received the following: James REA was appointed a preacher in 1771 and began the Eniskillen Circuit for the Methodist Church. Of course, I do not know if there is a connection to him, but my REA's are from Co. Fermanagh, Killybane Township, so there might be a possibility. Is there anything anyone could tell me about the early Methodist Church in Ireland? Also, I went to FHS today and copied all 38 pages (using the myriad spellings of REA) that lists births, marriage, christenings and such. I have not been able to be of help to others as I have no resources, so I decided to make a resource. If anyone is interested in me looking up a REA or variant spelling, I will be glad to! Give me name and approximate date. Most are in the 1800's, although there are some 1600 and 1700 listings. Thank you for any knowledge you can impart! Regards, Mary McG in Tennessee
