Dear Ray, You imply that the Heritage centres are the only source......you couldn't be further from the truth. You can ask the Heritage centres if you wish...I wouldn't dream of using them. ( these records were transcribed by volunteers) The records are kept digitally....... yep even a young lad/girl can search them... as I said it's not rocket science. Serious researchers would use the Naltional library, National Archives, Parishes and Co. Libraries etc . You say you are "delighted I haven't Irish ancestry" I can hear a Nation rise in unison and state "Amen" ;-) Best regards. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969
