Dave, I have compiled three Maxwell files (Tyrone, Londonderry & Donegal - which includes the Birdstown data) which are almost in a state for sending to Jim; there were many families across the three counties. Am just looking for a little time check the final formatting......other files seem to take priority (including the 30+ years to complete the Ardstraw file of marriages).

I have made a note to pop these into a Maxwell Family Notes page for Jim to upload on our website.

Spotted as a new information source on Ancestry.com ….. All Scotland, Burial Monument Inscriptions, 1507-2019 Could be very helpful if you’re chasing after folks who were (or may have been) buried in Scotland. I tried a quick search using generic terms like “Londonderry”, “Tyrone” and “Donegal”. Several entries popped up, including (as a taste): CONWAY Cookstown, co. Tyrone GILMOUR Londonderry MAXWELL Birdstown, co.Donegal MITCHELL Armagh QUIN Creggen House, Cookstown, co. Tyrone Extract examples below. Hope this helps someone. It’s very special when we find details of an Irish Colleen who was born 1797/98, or even in 1830 …..
