Garland Family
« on: Monday 11 February 08 18:09 GMT (UK) »
Looking for information on a Peter Garland b. abt 1630 in Killincoole..He immagrated to America in abt 1650, any information on a probable birth, parents or siblings would be great, I am now very stuck and would like to track my roots through Ireland.

I think his father was Edward Garland and his grandfather Sir John Garland, I have no spousal information for his parents either, Peter himself married in Virgina.

Thanks, Ellie

Hello Ellie,

There are three items you require when searching for Irish ancestors.

1. Denomination.
2. Parish
3. Townland.

You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.
