We went to the Boyne Valley and learned about the Battle of the Boyne between William of Orange and King James. We stopped at Newgrange and toured an ancient mound that is so old its purpose is unknown. We had lunch at the Newgrange cafeteria before heading on to Belfast.
We toured the city and went on a tour of the Titanic Museum. It is an amazing place.
Today we visited the Public Archives of Northern Ireland and didn't make any progress on our genealogy but now know some parishes where Thomas Jones was not mentioned.
