Hi Listers I have been watching Janice's hard work in giving us such a lot of information. I have also seen such a lot of interest in the Ordnance Survey memoirs . Like Janice I have these books but I believe they are now out of print. If you email < irish.studies@qub.ac.uk > they should be able to tell you whether they have any of these left, but when I was at the Ulster American Folk Park this year they tried to get them for a cousin of mine and found they were out of print. Muriel

I will send URL again and hope it comes through this time.If not please use a search engine. Mike Harkins Columbus GA http://www.rootsweb.com/irish~irish/ .
