This link here will give you a feel for the Limavady area (and is quite humerous in parts too).
"As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know."  - Donald Rumsfeld

"Trees without roots fall over!"
 
""People who never look backward to their ancestors will never look forward to posterity." - Edmund Burke

Saw query in today's Irish News.

Do you know what religion the Douglas family were? The ones I know about were Presbyterian and there might be some local church records.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hello,
Thanks for posting this I was able to extend my family tree to include Hugh and Nancy's fathers.  I just wonder if you have found any more information on them as this is as far as I have got so far.

I am a direct descendant on my paternal grandmothers side and Hugh is my 3x great grandfather.

Yours,
Cassie
