Dave & Seonaid, Thank you for your information regarding researchers. I recently was at the following site The National Library of Ireland and thought perhaps I should have one of the researchers look at some information for me on a particular microfilm. But so many listed - how to choose? Does anyone have any suggestions? I live in Minnesota and I do not have a trip to Dublin in my plans.. Thank you, Ann O'Neil Crosby Nicholson Dave and Seonaid Lewis wrote: > I don't know any genealogists that I can recommend in that area, but I can > tell you that you are doing the right thing asking for recommendations.

If anyone can recommend a good researcher that does not cost an arm and a leg I too would be interested.
