And, do you know about those who settled in Kentucky? -also from County Tyrone?Would love some help on County Tyrone.This is my husband's family.Henry Ballantine, Sr., youngest son of William and Mary Ballantine, was born Aug 1, 1837, County Tyrone, Ireland, Parish of Desert Crate, Township - Gortavilley, three miles from Cookstown, one mile from Sandholes and one mile from Town of Rock, near the road leading from Cookstown to Rock.He emigrted with his parents to Kentucky in the spring of 1849 and landed in Rumsey, Kentucky, on May 9, 1849.Where/how do I get "Proofs" for the above? And where should I look prior to Ireland?Thank you.Beverley in Kentucky
