Hi there ,anything going backwards, any pointers in what directions to go ,what sites to use. Scottish sites are easier to access . On ancestry and at a standstill making any connections , Raymie .

Actually there are far more Irish sites (many of them free)  and Ancestry isn't the best place to search
