MS. ROBIN,

WHAT YOU NEED TO DETERMINE IS WHAT PART OF IRELAND HE CAME FROM. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THAT?

THERE ARE REFERENCE BOOKS TO LOCATE AREAS (TOWLANDS AND PARISHES) IN IRELAND IN WHICH THE NAME YOU ARE RESEARCHING APPEARS. THE EARLIEST OF THESE TO MY KNOWLEDGE IS ABOUT 1825, BUT SINCE PEOPLE DID NOT MOVE AROUND A LOT IN IRELAND AT THAT TIME, THE FAMILY NAME WOULD LIKELY STILL APPEAR.

THIS MIGHT HELP YOU TO FOCUS YOUR SEARCH TO AREAS OF IRELAND IN WHICH RYLAND WAS USED. YOU CAN THEN MOVE ON TO LOOKING FOR MORE INFORMATION ON RYLAND FAMILIES, SUCH AS LAND RECORDS OR CHURCH RECORDS OF HIS BAPTISM.

GOOD LUCK!!
THANK YOU I WILL TRY. THAT. NO, ALL THE INFORMATION I HAVE IS FROM MORGAN CO., AL. HE IS LISTED AS FROM IRELAND BUT NO OTHER INFORMATION. I DONT KNOW IF HE ENTEREDTHE USA FROM NEW YORK OR SOUTHERN PORT. . I WILL TRY TO FOLLOW YOUR ADVICE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. TAKE CARE, MS ROBIN
