Hi Chris, yes Alumni goes back to early 1600's. I need to physically look in Trinity College to see if I can find out who "recommended" him for the job as he was First Rector!! Thanks for reply.

Have you checked "Alumni Dublienses"? Maybe that's what you meant by Dublin, what's your ancestor's name? I have some photocopied pages of E and M surnames that I found for my line, but I'm not sure if that volume goes back to the 1600s. Chris
