RESEARCHING YOUR BELLAGHY ANCESTORS
This web-site could be a useful start to people who are researching their ancestors from Bellaghy and its
surrounding district in N. Ireland. Many Ulster people left this country over the centuries with the Americas,
Australia and New Zealand being favoured destinations. Some left to escape the sometimes dreary climate, some
under duress by the courts, some to escape pestilence and famine and some to simply join friends and make their
fortune in new lands. Whatever the individual reason, those people left important ancestral history here in
Northern Ireland some of which we may still have on file or otherwise know the whereabouts
of!

parish for those who need good, detailed, reliable information on their Bellaghy ancestors.
We only deal with facts and will never send you a 'fairy story'.
There are now many hundreds of very satisfied people throughout the world who have had great results from this

Some comments we received were as
follows:-
"Mr. F*** was an excellent researcher and I was very happy with his services" -
JR
"My thanks and appreciation to R****** for all his hard, and very quick, detective work. We
know so much more now. We’ll have that cup of tea, R******, when the day comes that I can leave my own
footsteps on the ground my forebears have traveled" - LH
"Thank you very much for finding out the information for me on the **** & **********
graves" - LS
"I was surprised when I found your website and R****** has been more than helpful and very
quick with the info I needed - your recommendation has proved very fruitful." - JL
"My quest for additional ****** family genealogical information had been on hold for nearly
ten years, simply because I could not locate a suitable researcher.
Then came R******! I hesitate to refer to him as a “professional genealogist,” for his level of personalized
service far exceeds the “business like” relationship one merely gains through professional genealogical
services. Furthermore, his keen knowledge of historical documents, particularly church related records, places
him in the professional genealogist ranks. In other words, R****** provided an in-depth service with a most
personal touch." - DN
"I have been really pleased with all the help that R****** has given and with the speed of
his response." - RJ.
"I was delighted with the service provided to me in this by R****** F***. Thanks to R******
I have managed to get back several generations and have been trace my ***** ancestors to Bellaghy and
possibly Tobermore." - JLC
"What can I say? Thank you doesn’t even begin to express how much my family and I are
obliged to you. Seeing pictures is always wonderful and I can’t wait to go through all of yesterday’s
revelations with my father (now 86) when he comes to stay at Christmas. It means everything to be able to
share his family history with him while we still can.
I have been in touch with John (evidently a relative!) and he and I are currently throwing information at each
other, thrilled to the core. You have made many people very happy R******, you should be very proud of
yourself. Thank you too, J***, for your vital step in this swift journey of discovery." -
