I am researching in Bracky, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. I have been getting emails that Find My Past has Irish info. Just wondering if anyone likes etc. Any advice? I find that many sites just don't seem to have much. I don't want to waste my time or money. Margaret Marion

I imagine everyone's experience is different, but I've tried Find My Past 3 times and didn't come up with anything helpful. That included when I attended The National Genealogy Conference in Richmond Virginia last year and Find My Past employees tried to help me but there was nothing in their database. Again, I was just looking for a single surname TRENOR/TREANOR/TRAINOR - specifically, Hugh Trenor/Treanor, wife Catherine Sherlock. He born in County Down 1802. She born Ireland parts unknown around 1804. They married September 16, 1828; lived in London until about 1832 at which time they immigrated to Toronto, Canada (and on to Dubuque Iowa in 1836 where he died in 1880). As I have their wedding date I was hopeful I could find the record if not in Ireland then in England. It was (per family folklore) an elopement so maybe not married in Catholic church which should have made the search easier. He had at least two brothers - Owen & James both of whom immigrated by 1855. (although they left their families behind and at least, Owen planned to go back for them). Nothing more is known of them. One day....
