As a start, Mantra picked up about fifteen photos at an auction in England. We know where each photo was made because each has the name of the photographer and the address where the photo was taken. Several are from New Zealand. Now we are finding several photos were taken in New Zealand of people who came from Belfast, Leitrim, and other places we are trying to identify. We are posting the photos in each county from whence the subjects came, and the county in which the photos were taken. If someone, possibly the National Coordinator of New Zealand Project, will add these photos to their project website, we hopefully can find the families they belong to. The first photos were posted on the County Dublin site (four are up so far).
