Dianna I use Google Maps a lot for searching for places - see http://maps.google.co.uk/ I have just searched for both Glenavy and Aghadolgan and Glenavy is there and when you search for Aghadolgan you get a marker for where it is. You can view the results as a "Map" or "Satellite" - the latter gets a bit blurred when you zoom in. Someone else may know of another map source.

Chart * Ulster Journal of Archaeology, Third Series, Vol. 5, (1942), pp. 67-76 * Published by: Ulster Archaeological Society Andrew Rowan's brother was rector of Maghera (cf Archibald Boyd of 1718, who had been minister of Maghera). (Archibald Boyd may have been ancestor of the famous Adam Clarke, a methodist minister, so it looks as if that family of Boyd used the name Adam also) Andrew Rowan had a son Neal b. 1677. d. 1678; Neal and Cornelius are often the same name Linde Lunney

There was a family of Boyds in Derrykeighan parish; listed as original settlers there by Thomas Camac in his history of Derrykeighan. There was an Adam Boyd early on in Dervock/ Carncullagh/ Carncoggie so they might have kept on using the name. There was another Adam Boyd in Derrykeighan in 1803 agric. census In the list of Presbyterian landholders proposed to be removed from Ulster to Munster and Leinster in 1623, we find the names of the following Derrykeighan men ; viz , Walter Kennedy, Thomas Boyd, Archibald Boyd, John Peoples, Adam Boyd, and Robert Stewart, with possibly a few others Google full text of UJA Linde Lunney

My second link to this 1718 connection is : Cornelius Rowan of Upper Octorara Church of Chester County, PA in 1725 to 1735 when he died "an old man". Cornelius married into the Cochran family. again, does anyone have Cornelius Rowan or Roan or Roen in your records from the late 1600's. A name like that should make it easier to locate. The Rowan family has some Londonderry ties (Aghadowey etc.), but it appears to be a separate family. I'm hoping we have Rowan's in the northern Antrim region. any help appreciated. Thanks, Colin Brooks, The 1718 Project

Currently I am working on a link between the four states in America which the Scotch-Irish settled into circa 1718. I have two men I was oping to get some Irl-Antrim list help on. Adam Boyd born 1692 is mentioned as of Ballymena or Ballymoney. He has a brother named John born 1690. Rumor is they descend from an Adam line of patriarchs back to Scotland pre-Plantation era. Adam becomes a Reverend and marries into the Craighead family which has connections to the Rev. Homes/Holmes families of Ulster and New England. Can any one help me prove which townland is the right one for Adam. Given the pre-colonial ignorance of townland name spellings it would be one of the above. Just which one?? Colin Brooks The 1718 Project

Hi Folks, many of you know about the October 1 & 2 Ballymoney family history festival called "The ROUTE back Home 2010". Myself and others from America and Australia will be attending and visiting the area during the weeks before and after. Before I spend money on commercial B&B homes, I wanted to know if anyone on this list living near Ballymoney has or knows of a B&B in the area. I would like to spend my money on folks who have a genealogy/family history interest, and develop contacts in Ulster who I can recommend for future visitors. Of course, if you have an extra bed or two (traveling with my 82 yr old mother this time) and would enjoy the company (who will pay the going rate and clean the dishes) then I would gladly consider that option. Depending where I stay, I will spend 2 to 4 days in Ballymoney during that weekend. I have some experience traveling the back roads of Antrim and Londonderry, so I should be able to find any home. Linde Lunney, George Patton (Ulster-Scots Society); Alister McReynolds, Boyd Gray and others can vouch for my character and credentials. You can see my life project at _http://www.1718migration.org.uk/_ (http://www.1718migration.org.uk/) as I co-authored the last pages. I have email contacts with the Scotch-Irish list (800 active members); Boyd, McDuffee and other family pages on Rootsweb, and will gladly share your information ONLY at your request. If you have a "commercial" B&B and a website/listing, many folks on the other side of the water would prefer using your location for their Ulster visits. Thank you very much, Colin Brooks The 1718 project- documenting all S-I emigrants to America circa 1718 Families inc. : Boyd; McDuffee; Gregg; McKeen; Darrah; Holmes etc.

Hi John I second Lea-Anne post. I have Brian McCURDY from Ballycastle, Antrim who married a Margaret BOYD from Greenock, Renfrewshire so we have assumed the family moved to Scotland before 1838, which was when they migrated to Australia. Any hints, ideas and general knowledge that your group can pass on to me that will further my family tree will be very gratefully appreciated.

It does sound like you had fun, Laurie. I did something similar with a friend a few years ago and I got just as much enjoyment meeting his relatives as he did.

Hi Linde I thought I'd share my feelings on this subject.....hope you don't mind. I adored my dad. Where he was born in Newtownards, the house has been demolished and is now a car park. I stand in that Car Park and I feel so close to my dad. I can't explain it.

Nancy and others Your story about connecting with a place and with living relatives is of great interest; I hope it encourages others to make plans to visit and connect. People from outside Ireland might not expect such continuity of residence as there still is in rural Northern Ireland; even if there is no one of a family left in an area, there might still be knowledge of them, even a few generations later. THis kind of experience is of course what descendants of emigrants hope for when they research and return; the point I would like to make is that it is possibly equally important that descendants of the people who stayed behind have access to the research carried out by their lost kin, so that the family can re-connect after the losses suffered by previous generations. People in Ulster may not realize that they should be interested in genealogy! Linde

We made our first journey to NI last year and after a light hearted amount of effort discovered 3rd cousins in the area ! In typical Irish fashion they welcomed us to their home and spent hours showing us where our common ancestors lived and worked. We found a pub bearing our name ! There was a true connection, and a feeling of "coming home" on our parts. I brought home a spoonful of the earth my great grandfather left behind.

I have a number of Boyd families that apear to have come to PA in the 1730's. Can anyone outline what might be the reason why people left Ireland in this decade please? I know that the Rev Macgregor of Aghadowey, County Londonderry, brought 5 ship loads of people to Boston in 1718 from around the Coleraine area which started a century of migrations to America - which some sources saying that one million Irish came during the 18th century. So what might have been the factorsin the 1730's Thank you Mike Boyd HIstorical Committee, HBS

Hi Dianna Here's some possibilities Alicia Heaney b. 25 Jan 1865, Lisburn, Co Antrim to John Heaney and Harriet McLaughlin Other children of John & Harriet Simpson Heaney b. 25 Dec 1867 , Lisburn ( A Simpson Heaney married Rebecca Ferris 13 Aug 1902 at Lisburn RC Church, Parish of Blaris). Catherine Mary Heaney b.3 Jun 1870, Lisburn, Co Ant. Alice Elizabeth Heaney b. 12 Jan 1876, Lisburn (so, Alicia b.1865 probably died 1865-1876 ; possibly the 1 yr old Alice who died 1866 that Lyn found ?)
