SNIPPET: The "Londonderry Journal" was published by George DOUGLAS and various partners beginning with issue #1, June 3, 1772, published semi-weekly through May 1, 1781, and weekly thereafter. Perhaps you can locate a copy of Donald M. SCHLEGEL's book, "Irish Genealogical Abstracts from the Londonderry Journal 1772-1784," published a few years ago. With an every-name index, this book is fascinating reading. Contains newspaper announcements of births, marriages deaths, crimes, illnesses, bankruptcies, business advertisements, details on ship sailings to America from busy port of Londonderry, conversions of individuals from Catholicism, etc. Some "letters of thanks" to ship captains with names of emigrants. News from all over Ireland, actually. Many announcements give names of extended family members. (One strange item I recall from memory was a story about a lady who was alleged to have given birth to triplets over a three-day period, one each day!) Hardbound and paperback.
