Objectives and guidelines
You can read more about our objectives and guidelines in Ireland Quaker team guidelines and objectives
Categories and stickers
We use Category:Irish_Quakers, the sticker {{Quakers Sticker}} a category for the monthly meeting that the Quaker belonged to and, if appropriate, the {{Ireland Native}} sticker. You can find the monthly meeting categories here Category:Quaker_Meetings,_Ireland. Clicking through on a particular meeting category will show all the profiles with that category attached.
You can see all the profiles using the Category:Irish_Quakers by clicking on the link. (Rather than paging through many times to find the relevant surname, you can edit the URL to add the relevant surname after &from, eg https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Category:Irish_Quakers&from=Watson .)

As Richard says, we cover Ireland north and south in the Irish Quakers team. There are indeed a few (but not many) Irish Quaker records for McCoole/McCool/McCooll/McCoolles. John McCoole of county Derry first appears in the book of 'sufferings' in 1691 as having had goods taken from him. By 1697 he was joined in the book by Archeball McCoole of the same county. There are a few mentions of them in Quaker minutes, and in 1717 Archibald McCoole declared his intention of marring Neile O'Mony. In 1718 Sarah McCoole declared her intention of marrying Daniel Backhouse. In 1720 a widdow McCoole appears in the sufferings book. In 1759 Archibald McCoole appears again in the sufferings book, this time along with Daniel Backhouse. In 1760 Jennet McCool was disowned for having a child when not married. In 1760, there is a letter to Friends in Pennsylvania recommending Jane Wilson senior, widow, who intends to travel there after having received a legacy from her half brother John McCool. There are also file notes mentioning James and Gabriel McCool emigrating to Delaware from Derry in 1725.
Hope that this helps,
Alan
