If I may give a little tip to avoid confusion pertaining to Irish ancestors. Please remember when putting in details for Northern Ireland, that it didn’t come into existence until 3rd May 1921, prior to this , North and South was all known as Ireland or in Gaelic Eire, also from 1922-1937 the south was known as the Irish Free State. No end of times I come across details of ancestors stating that they were born in County Antrim, Northern Ireland in the 17th or 18th centuries I then have to correct this before adding to my trees.
