Since I was unable to attend -where can I find the resources concerning these families?
The Great Parchment Book here on this website is a good start. I believe it was intended that the conference papers should be made more widely available. We will post when we have more information.
Good afternoon, I’m doing research on some of my ancestors who I think may have been English settlers during the plantation of Ulster. I’m based in Australia and are wondering if these records are available online? Thankyou Karen
Apologies for not replying sooner – this comment has only just popped up on my notifications! Keep an eye on the blog as we try to publicise online sources, for example recently we have posted on sources held by PRONI http://www.greatparchmentbook.org/2019/09/06/plantations-in-ulster-1600-41/
Could I find any info on a family called Clephane, father was James from Scotland and granted 2000 acres Newton and Lislapp in 1609 and he put his 4 sons in place within this land but I’ve no idea where James came from or who his wife was or sons names ?
