About GenWeb

The objective of this site is to share information on the County Derry and learn from each other.  As one looks back over the long and turbulent history of Derry, it is apparent that there were many events that contributed to the strong fabric of the people that have lived there and do today.  Hopefully this site will advance our understanding of the many aspects of this area and its great people.   No one person has all the answers and we all can contribute to a better understanding of the history of Derry County, its people of native Irish or Ulster Scots ancestry and major events in its history that have had an effect on the world.  Most visitors of this site will be interested in geneology and emigration to other parts of the world.  The Londonderry, Northern IrelandGenWeb Project is a member of the Northern IrelandGenWeb, BritishIslesGenWeb, and the WorldGenWeb Projects.

    Visitors to this site can explore how strong their Irish roots have survived through generations from the early 1800s. An accurate assessment can be done from completion of an identity grid and with reference to the classic paper by Kaufmann on ethnicity. For further information and explanation of the grid, log in and post a reply for Dr. Don MacFarlane or contact him directly at donmac@doctors.org.uk as it is his PhD thesis the method and analysis are based upon.
