Hi Sarah,

I've started to have a look at the Irish records today and have discovered that you can get copies of the births, deaths and marriages records for free. There are a few oddities that I'm trying to nut out and will then place them all into the tree, and it looks as though I will be able to get another few generations back.

I've been using this free platform to put it together and it's easy to use and looks as though I can transfer the McAteer info across to another users tree.

Just joined.Born in Saltcoats in Springvale Street.Have lived here since.Very interested in the history of the town and the area.Presenty a guide at Portencross Castle.Was also a guide at Burns Cottage and the Museum until 2020.At the moment would like to know if there are any updates on the excavation at Montfode.I was there when Headland Archaeology found the graves and have copies of the paperwork.Has a date been decided?I would like to know more about the site and if Christianity came via Whithorn.I am sure there are more early Christian sites in the west that have yet to be discovered.

Hi Isabel, welcome to threetowners! :)
There hasn't been any further postings to the topic Early Christian cemetery at Montfode All I can suggest is that you get in touch with https://headlandarchaeology.com/
