Hi John, Of course it is possible. Ireland in the 1600s was a place of immigration. You no doubt know about the Hugeunots and how many became refugees in Britain. I can refer you to the entire chapter on them in Falley "Irish and Scotch Irish Ancestral History". It covers records. As I recall (book is not on hand, sorry!!), Huguenots (French Protestants) migrated in waves to Britain and then moved back to France when conditions lightened up. In Britain they were naturalized by act of Parliament so they are named in Parlimentary records. Just as with all the other Protestant refugee groups, they were permitted to set up churches of their own in their own language and provided with the book of common prayer in their native tongue. As they assimilated into the British nation, their children and grandchildren abandoned these churches and joined in the usual parishes. For records you must consult Falley. I never managed to get much that's in this two vol. work into the ol brain!!
