Deed transcripts
I am in the process of transcribing abstracts of all LEE and LEES deeds for County Londonderry. This is a big job and one not yet complete.
See https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/185720?availability=Family%20History%20Library for digitised copies of the Registry of Deeds transcription books of the original memorials of deeds. These are the basis of my below abstracts. Original copies of the deeds survive fully from 1708 but can only be viewed in person at the Property Registration Authority in Dublin.
