If not, how about would I get access to try and look up a name within this registry? I am trying to track down if my (~13 g) grandfather went to school in Dublin as family history suggests.. He was a lawyer, born c. 1744.. Family tradition states that he was a Dublin lawyer who later emigrated to Canada - his name was Phillips Callbeck (or sometimes Calbeck). He would have done his schooling in the early to mid 1760's.. Thank you for your help!

To get entries from Alumni Dublinenses address a request to Trinity College Librarian Manuscripts Department University of Dublin College Street Dublin 2 Ireland I suggest you ask for a xeroxed list of all persons of the surname, or surnames, which you're interested in. I have been able to learn the names of several generations from these pages as the entry will give the father's name, profession and home county. The librarian was generous with explanation of terms used in the entries. You may get several pages of some names. You should a contribution for their trouble ( I sent ten pounds) and copying expenses as well as an International Response Coupon for the postage. This worked in the 1990's. You should also Google Alumni Dublinenses. I found this great site which also tells about other places of higher education: http://humphrysfamilytree.com/sources.html Good luck, Rachel Smith rcallbeck wrote: > If not, how about would I get access to try and look up a name within > this registry? > > I am trying to track down if my (~13 g) grandfather went to school in > Dublin as family history suggests..
