Hi Mary, Well, if he was such a big orangeman, maybe he is mentioned in the lodge histories on the orangenet website: htp://www.orangenet.org . Some of histories are rather detailed. Or just leave a post. If they can place the name they will get back to you. You should check Irish civil registration for him. You can get the indexes and the actual film at an LDS center. I have a good professional genealogist in London -- and I know a couple in Belfast on the internet. However if you spend some time reading about British genealogical research you can maybe find out a fair amount of stuff yourself. Besides www.genuki.org.uk theres: http://www.rootsweb.com/~bifhsusa/ >From the orange website above you can check the English and Australian Orange universes too, so leave them a message and ask them to post to an orange list. My families were all out of UIster too early to be orange (our cousins who remained are now Orange). We were United Irish Presbyterians, intermarried with Irish McGearies, Dowlings, Kellys and such, so I can't say the OO helps me with my family, but I have seen it be helpful to others. I would like to understand how come my Dowlings drifted north to Magherafelt area from Wicklow someday..... Regards, Linda Merle
