The only way to begin Ulster research is at the beginning. You start with yourself and work backwards. You get every record for you parents, Grandparents, G-Grandparents, etc. and hope that some record will give you a townland. If you had an unusual surname, you could settle for a county. But Steele is not that unusual. The minimum you need is County. Records that showed my G-Grandparent's place of birth in Ireland include: SSDI for two of the children, the delayed birth record for my Grandfather and my G-Grandfather's obit which ended with the sentence "Newtownards and Belfast papers please copy", and both my G-Grandparent's death certs. If your direct line doesn't record this data, research a collateral line. A brother or sister may have recorded in any number of records the birthplace of her parents. Sandra
