Searching for information about my family from Gortnagarn

Hi Bobbi,

There is a record of the marriage of James Potter to - McIvor 1871 in Tyrone on www.rootsireland.ie/

The record will cost to view but will give you the fathers' names and the parish.

You can then check on Griffiths Valuation (1856-64 free to search) & the Tithe Applotments (freely avaialble (1823-37)to see where they were

Col,

Thank you for your help, I am very sorry it took me so long to respond to your message.  The last 4 months have been crazy busy for me.  I have just found the record you were talking about, but I didn't know about the Griffiths Valuation or the Tithe Applotments.  I will get back on the rootsireland.ie website and poke around those two items.

Again, Thank You for your help.

Bobbi

Hi There, I will be in Co. Tyrone next week, Is there anything I can check out for you? I have the names Potter & McIvor / McIver from the Pomeroy area in my family too. Regards from Robert.

Robert,

I'm sorry for the slow reply.  I retired the end of June and moved cross country in July.   I'm not even sure what I need at this point.  I am also away from home for a few weeks and don't have my records with me.  If I think of anything I will message you.  I am very interested in learning more about whether our families are indeed related or anything you might discover while you are in Tyrone. 

When I get my genealogy unpacked and my new computer up to speed I will tell you what I have discovered.

Good luck in Tyrone and thank you for thinking about me.

Bobbi

How was your trip to Co. Tyrone?  Did you find anything interesting?  I hope you had a good Christmas.

Bobbi
