Lord Belmont in Northern Ireland

I blogged about this on the old Scottish GENES blog, but a site worth having a look at if you are into heraldry, nobility and the old ascendancy families of Ireland is that of Lord Belmont in Northern Ireland (http://lordbelmontinnorthernireland.blogspot.com).

Although the Lord Belmont in question is a fictional persona, the author does a good job of outlining issues to do with the nobility in Ulster today - I hasten to add, my interest is in the genealogical postings! He does a good job of describing various ancient families, landowning families and more - today's post, for example, looks at the Leslie family of Leslie Hill, near Ballymoney, County Antrim (see http://lordbelmontinnorthernireland.blogspot.com/2012/01/house-of-leslie.html).
