Hi, Ray... Thanks for getting in touch. I'm still up; just sent articles from the December 29, 1876 edition. Are you new to the list? Have you checked the Archives? If not, go to: http://www.irelandoldnews.com/index.html There are several of us who type, and we've contributed quite a bit of information. I try to type articles with lots of names so researchers can get a time frame; and articles that I just think are interesting... like the information on Guinness. Things that give us an idea of the times... It was always my understanding that the Presbyterians were everywhere. In fact, I heard a speaker once say that if you can't find the oldest son in your family look at the Presbyterian records. Since the Catholics weren't allowed to own land, the oldest son would sometimes join the Presbyterian Church for that reason. I don't know how true that is... but it sounds plausible. Going to bed as it's after midnight, but will try to get started on 1877 newspapers tomorrow.
