Hi Jeff
Thanks for replying.I am very new to genealogical research and therefore unsure of the protocols.I would be really grateful to have a look at whatever you have to see if any connections can be made with the North of Ireland.I would appreciate advice on how to access this.My own direct family line before 1860 is unclear.It was thought that Dobbins' came toDonegal from County Armagh as stone masons to restore the ancient Grianan Aileach Fort, under a Dr Black in the 1860s, but prior to that we have found it very difficult to ascertain local records.
I hope to hear from you again.
Best Wishes
Michael.
