Hello,
Interested in contacting descendants of William and Mary J (Kelly) Logue. Their son, Charles, was born in Limavady in 1858. He had several brothers and sisters, including John (b.1864), Susan (b. 1867), and James (b. 1867). Charles and John emigrated to Boston, USA. Would like to learn more about this family.

Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Have you tried looking at the 1901/1911 census records to see if any family members were still in the area at the time? You can search these here: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
You could also look into Church records for information on the family. Most Catholic records are held locally. One website which you may find helpful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Drumachose/Limavady check:
For Church of Ireland records check:
http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/. The Anglican Record Project is has created an index to their records: http://ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/AngRecord/bunclodyunionindex.pdf
Family Search also have a good collection of church records available online. You can search these here: www.familysearch.org
Civil registration began in Ireland in 1864, so you may be able to find some records of any births or marriages after this in these records. They are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:

I hope this is helpful. Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.
Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
Kind regards,
