I'd love to do one of those DNA test things where they outline your ancesty. My folks were Irish, but like mange tout I was born with original sin  There must be at least some viking blood in me. |

Do you have to visit the church to look at the records or are they online. A bit of both, there is a lot of info online but you often have to subscribe to one of the various genealogical sites such as this - parishregister.co.uk/ |

Thank you. It must have taken you a long time to go back 500 years. Bravo.

Don't do it. I went back through both sides of my family only to get as far as great-great-grandparents. 15 of them and all their successors were born in Co Down but one great-great-grandfather was born in Ayr.
I know! It could have been worse, he could have been from England. Even so.

So you got back to the start of birth certificates in 1837?
