Hi Teena & Everyone I recently came across an abstract of an article about a Manslaughter case tried at the Omagh Assizes in September 1775 taken from the Londonderry(Derry) Journal of that date and published in a book which was indexed on Ancestry.com. This got me intrigued and so I have started digging. I wish to see the original article in case there was more information so I contacted the newspaper office by email but they dont have the earliest years archived. FMP has them starting from 1785 but not the years 1772 to 1784 which where covered in the book, Irish Genealogical Abstracts from the "Londonderry Journal," 1772-1784, Donald M. Schlegel, Jan 2001,Genealogical Publishing Com based on 'a micofilm version of the paper', the location of this microfilm is not stated in the book, strangely. I will seek out the publisher to contact the author but thought to ask here as someone might have some knowledge.
Has anyone come across this microfilm?
