To Chris Dunlop, well-known chronicler of the Dunlops from Coleraine - G'dye. Glad to know you are reading on this Board, all the way from Cairns. Presume that by now, you know who Britney Spears is. To Glenda - Other localities near Kirkinriola parish (near Ballymena) include the towns of Cullybackey, Ahoghill and Craigs, and the townland of Ballywatermoy. My WISEMAN ancestors come from Ballywatermoy, and were there until 1837 when they (some of them) came to the Hudson Valley in NY State. I also believe that my DUNLAP ancestry came from this same area at about the same time, and may have originated in the nearby town of Antrim. Other local families connected in one way or another to the WISEMANs include folks named NUTT and KERNOCHAN. No Winnings that I know of, however.
