'Strays'
County Antrim, Northern Ireland
Strays
are people who are mentioned in some document not related to the county
that they were born in or came from - or, a county that they would seem
to have some connection to. This page is indexed or linked simply on
the basis of the resource that the information was found in. Eventually,
as the information for Stray pages builds, then each of these links
will lead to separate pages, and the information broken down to various
headings. For the moment, a search of this page using your browser will
possibly show you whether there is any information pertinent to your
own family research on this page, however, searching any Irish genealogy
page for one or two spellings of a surname is usually not enough as
there are so many variations and computers will only pick up exactly
the spellings you look for.
The only
way to really make sure that there is no relevant information on any
Irish genealogy page is to read through the whole document.
