You can check to see if any of the family signed the Ulster Covenant in 1912 or are listed in the new Wills index on PRONI site (was out of order but hopefully working soon): www.proni.gov.uk
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

PRONI's working again 8)

It may have been closed due to the government site being hacked.

Wills search is still not working at present, but I think it will be shortly as there seems to be a bit of a change on the website.

Covenant search isn't quite back to normal yet either. Short while ago I put in a first name and surname and strange message came up. Changed query to just surname and two pages came up.
