The only information I have on my Great Great Grandfather is that he was born in Belfast. How do I know if I should join County Down or County Antrim to find the local parish.
Hi Richard,
You can begin by posting as much information as you can concerning your relative on the county message boards. Name, dates, emmigration (when/where), other family members etc.... The more information you post the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to assist or direct you.
A few sites that may be of help to you are:

I wish you the best of luck with your research.
Kind regards,
