GENERAL SOURCES for Londonderry/Northern Ireland/Ireland research:
PRONI (Public Records of Northern Ireland): www.proni.gov.uk
Freeholders Records, Will Extracts, 1912 Ulster Covenant. Also guides to records, etc.
New e-catalogue has lots of material and is well worth searching with names, places, etc.
LDS (also known as Mormon) website: www.familysearch.org
IGI (International Genealogical Index) has some, not all, Irish births 1864-c1882.
LDS records both submitted and extracted so need to be verified.
Online catalogue (using place search) can help find if there are any surviving church records for a particular area.
Index to Irish Civil Registrations (LDS Pilot site):

Londonderry People & Families
Surnames of Magilligan Parish
The O'Cahan Princes of Ulster website contains a lot of information about the surnames on the following list The further back you go with your research the more you need to consider the spelling variations ... today you'll find that some families are reverting to the old spelling so some of the next generation of genealogists may have to start with the old spelling, then the present spelling and then the old spelling as they start researching their ancestors.
The Spelling Variations of O'Cahan ...
O'Kane is the anglicised form of O'Cahan and is variously rendered as Kane, Keane, Kayne, Keaney, O'Keeny, Keyne, Cahan, O'Cain, Cain and Keny. In addition, it embraces McAvinney, McEvinney and McQueen. Another large sub-sept of O'Cahan is McCloskey (McCluskey, Cluskey and McLuskey), a numerous north Derry name. McCloskey derives from Bloscaidh O'Cathain (Bloskey O'Kane), who, in 1196, slew Murtagh O'Loughlin, heir to the Irish throne. Other Variant Spellings ; Cahan, Cain, Cane, Gahan, Kain, Kaine, Kane, Kean, McAvinney, McCain, McCloskey, McEvinney, McKain, McKane, McKean, MucKian, O'Cahan, O'Caughan, O'Kane.
