McCausland

[shakyshakyme]

Please help me locate any information on Andrew McCausland, born about 1529.  Father was John MacAusland, brother was John McCausland, b. 1549 in Scotland, but emigrated to Ireland.  My direct line is brother John, but I would like to grow a "complete" tree.

Hello shakyshakyme,

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.

Think the dates here (1500s) are before the start of most church records in Co. Londonderry.

I'd tend to agree with you aghadowey
