Hi Do we already know about this site from Trinity College? Its about a rebellion in 1641, that i have to admit know anothing about--- yet:) http://tinyurl.com/5t2mfk3 if not take a look, Im searching using only the county name and have found 142 depositions, including a letter from a Byrne which lists amongst others a Garret Byrne- a name Ive seen once a twice Im sure. Carol Wicklow names Niles Donnelly Sullivan Byrne Fermanagh names I am seeking Harron Love Tyrone names I am seeking Conway Ireland names I am seeking McMullen Roney

Yes, these are a great resource and it's wonderful to see them online at last. Astonishing that the handwritten 'minutes' of these hearings have survived almost 370 years, and the transcriptions make searching much easier. County Cork has almost 2000 depositions, many giving great family relationships. Of course, the deponents are largely English Protestant settlers seeking compensation for losses during the 'rebellion' so they are most valuable for those researching Anglo-Irish ancestors. However, there are plenty of 'locals' named in them as well. A fascinating glimpse at the times, in the people's own words. Thanks for posting the tinyurl - always really handy to have!
