HI Mary, You can archive this list and previous postings to find info some history of Derry. There have been recent mailings on the "Siege of Derry" and the "migration" from Derry to Boston. Use these terms in your search. I also came across this site: _www.irishroots.net_ (http://www.irishroots.net) As I have not been researching Derry for very long I'm sure there are listers who will be kind enough to share the wealth. Good Luck, Denise Loan, Loane, O'Loan, O'Loane, Lone ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.
