Hi Boyd, Thanks for looking into the issue with your booklet. I look forward to viewing it. Maybe the problem is on my end but I did open other pdf documents today and they worked ok. Can you please elaborate on Faye Logue's book - specifically where it can be purchased and the cost? I was able to get a lot of info pertaining to the contents of the book by googling it, but could not find where to buy it. Joan Researching BOND, MEAGHER and PELLERIN in Port Felix, Nova Scotia.

I am not sure why it does this on some computers, but I know it does. However, last time I witnessed it downloading, Joan, it DID download all the way. I am copying this email to Lindel Buckley the owner of the Donegal website to see if she has any ideas. I too would like to know if others are having trouble as I spent quite a while recently updating the booklet to take account of the new genealogy websites which have come online in the last year - the Griffiths Valuation, the 1911 Census and the Mormons Pilot site of Births, Marriages and Deaths. And yes, every source and technique that is mentioned in the booklet is equally applicable to Tyrone. I am also interested that you managed to find my new website, Ray, as I have had trouble getting the tags to work on it so that, although it is there on the net, and Google knows it is there, you will not find it by simply looking for the usual search words if you do not know it exists. I would also like to take this opportunity to recommend Faye Logue's book, The Strabane Morning Post 1812-37, as my colleague used it recently to find the death notice of the treble great grandfather of a lady we are helping in Australia and he died in 1826! Not many Irish records that far back but Faye's book is a goldmine of both history and genealogy. Merry Christmas to one and all, Boyd Gray http://familytrees.genopro.com/boydgray26/Boyd/default.htm http://www.westulstergenealogy.com/ -----Original Message----- From: cotyroneireland-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cotyroneireland-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Joan Sent: 18 December 2009 13:49 To: cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com; ray15@optusnet.com.au Subject: [CoTyIre] Link to booklet about research in Cty Donegal Hi Ray, I'm not the person you originally replied to however I am also interested in reading the booklet about research in County Donegal. So thanks for posting the link. I am having trouble downloading the file. I don't know if it's just me. I get to about 2.86 of the total 3.42 MB of the file when the download stops. I have tried about 4 times and never get beyond that spot. SNIP
