Where to Find Records for O’Regan-202

Question

My ancestor was born, we believe, in Kilrae , Derry, Ireland in about 1765. His wife was Ellen Duffin (all I have is a name so no profile). They had a son, Lawrence [[O’Regan-201]] also born in Derry in about 1800. His wife was [[McKinley-2719]]. Lawrence died in Hopewell, Albert, New Brunswick in about 1861. A complete tree to my generation exists.

The problem, of course, is that [[O’Regan-202]] is a brickwall and I have no idea where to start. I’ve read that for some reason records are hard to access.

Would someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

It's not that they are hard to find, It's that a lot of them were burned in 1922. 

You can try to find some at Space:Sources-Ireland-Province-County

Thanks! I know they were burned, didn’t want to go there. After some searches based on other questions I’ve found I also need to include Northern Ireland since my records have locations in Londonderry/Derry.

Check under Ulster and then PRONI in the above list. Also under County selectable Sites.
