Derry (Londonderry) / Derry records
« on: Thursday 19 June 08 01:44 BST (UK) »
I'm going back to Ireland shortly and have a goal to make some progress on last summer's trip. Previous trips to PRONI have proven helpful. This time I was hoping to make it to the Genealogical Centre in Londonderry but have been told it has been closed. Can anyone confirm this. If so, where would someone recommend looking for further baptism, cemetery and church records for Derry. I still have not found the grave of several great-great grandfathers (was one of the founders of Magilligan Presbyterian Church in the early 1800s and his eldest son's spinster daughters are buried there but he nor his other sons are buried there). I want to be able to scour some of the records of churches there (quessing that they would be somewhere between Magilligan and Derry (rejecting the theory that my relatives would have hiked over the hill and some 5 miles to go to church in Articlave - preferring instead to take an easier walk to some place in the flat lands).
Thanks in advance for any tips.
