Co., Donegal, Ireland.

Notes for WILLIAM EWING:

The Burt congregation, near Londonderry, has an old register containing

births, marriages, baptisms, and burials from 1677 to 1716. So far it h

not been published. It is invaluable, and all the more so because early

records, both church and state, are incomplete and not plentiful, Irish

authorities tell me. J. W. Kernohan, Honorable Secretary of the

Presbyterian Historical Society of Ireland, had the Ewing entries found in

the old Burt register transcribed for me, and I give them below as he sent

them. Spelling, capitalization, etc., were faithfully copied. At the ti

there was no one in that section, he told me, who made a profession of

genealogical research; and I was fortunate to get Mr. Kernohan's

intelligent cooperation. Of this old register he wrote: "It is one of the few

manuscript books of so early a date . . . There are very few printed books

that would help you."
