Hello all I will be visiting County Tyrone next month and will be trying to learn as much about my grandfather's family as I can while there. His father's farm (James Morrison) was in Loughterush townland in Kilskeery Parish, and his maternal grandfather's farm (Joseph Masterson) - where he sometimes stayed - was located in Derry townland in Kilskeery Parish. My grandfather came to the states in 1914 at the age of 18. I know that the Morrison farm was sold by the last family member to live on it (or his estate after he died) around 1980. I have not been able to find any current info on the Masterson farm.
My questions are: What Methodist church would the family likely have attended around 1900 in the area around Kilskeery? Otherwise, where might I find information regarding what cemeteries my ancestors may be in? Where would records (birth, death, marriage, real estate, etc.) be maintained for Kilskeery Parish? Are there local directories if I want to try and find living relatives? Any and all advice regarding genealogical research while there would be appreciated. Thanks! Rick Smoll
