Are there presbyterian parish records from 1718 in existence? Birth, Christening, confimation? When families left Ireland in the mid 17th century exodus to America, which port did they typically leave from?

Hi Dennis - Some great reading ahead of me tonight, thanks for all the links. The "Counties Leitrim and Roscommon Genealogy" page looks particularly interesting - re the Local Government Act of 1898. Could possibly explain some contradictions I've noticed in family letters. I recently purchased Brian Mitchell's "A New Genealogical Atlas of Ireland", any comments on that book regarding parish maps in general? Thanks again for all your assistance. Matt

Thanks Brian - The link to the Glinsk area was exactly the reference I was looking for, even a history of the original church. It's hard to orient oneself geographically when I'm 8,000 km away. A great help. I'm learning a great deal about 19th-century Ireland, in a way more interesting than the search for my family. :-) The National Library website was fascinating, I found the link you mentioned regarding the parish registers. Thanks again - Matt San Diego, California

Seems as if many of us are struggling with the same problem. I too have just discovered an Irish connection from army papers I received of my g-grandfather. I now know he was born in Birr Eglish county of Offlay(King's) about 1838. His name Charles Donoghue parents John Donoghue and Elizabeth Carroll. I have paid a research to look for a birth certificate but no luck and am wondering where to go from this. Charles after 12 years of serve in East Africa left the regiment in Edinburgh met and married a Scottish girl and is buried with her in Scotland. Any suggestions or advise greatly appreciated.
