Hi folks, me again. Also the Family History Library has some records on microfilm. One way to find these is consult Ryan "Irish Records". If he knew (when he wrote the book) that film number of the records, he includes it. You can fidn this book in your local library or ask specifics on this list. There are also websites that include the FHL film numbers of various congregations. http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=374561.0 has a lot of leads. Googling will turn up more. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~fianna/county/antrim.html While they may not have copies of baptisms, marriages, etc (though they might -- some have collections of immigration records), seminary libraries have large collections of Irish Presbyterian records. Locally there are at least two (Pittsburgh): the Reformed Presbyterian library and the UP Library. I have been to both. The Rps collect church histories and have many from Northern Ireland (the librarian was minister in a congregation over there). They also have published copies of very early Presbytery and Synod records. The UP is more diverse. I seem to recall also collections of Scottish Presbytery records and well as records on the Cameronians. The UP has a lot on dissenting Presbyterians such as the Cambellites as well. Also both have of course copies of theses written by doctorial students. Some of these are a wealth of information. Catalogs are on line. The RPs do NOT archive at the Presbyterian Historical Society in Philadelphia, though of course there is some stuff there. They regarded the place with horror when I spoke to them. The Pittsburgh group is the 'faithful remnant', left after 2/3rds left in I think it was 1835 or so. So they may have nothing on your ancestor after that date if he was a New Light, as my ancestors were. The 'continuing' church's headquarters are now in Missouri: http://www.pcahistory.org So that may be a better place to search for New Lighters like my relative, the Rev. John Black: http://www.pcahistory.org/biography/black.html . The RPs published a magazine in the 1800s that gave news (marriages, deaths, baptisms, migrations) of members, largely in the USA but also back in the homeland. http://www.rpts.edu/academics/library.php So you can also visit Philadelphia (though not recommended: full of Quakers.... Pennsylvania Scotch Irish joke: we hate Quakers: they fed us to the Indians in the mid 1700s......), Pittsburgh (full of us), Missouri (there's something west of the Pittsburgh Triangle???). I am neglecting southern repositories because I don't know much about them but please, someone, fill us in! Linda merle
