THE FOLLOWING IS BEING REPUBLISHED FROM THE FAHEY LIST ********************************************************************** ----Original Message Follows---- From: Pat Connors <nymets11@pacbell.net> Reply-To: nymets11@pacbell.net To: FAHEY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [FAHEY] Irish research Date: Tue, 08 Feb 2000 09:26:25 +0000 I sent this out last on Friday, Dec. 17th and feel I need to repeat it because since we have many new subbers. Please note, before deleting, that I have added more sources. Also, if you have questions please send them to the list. There are far more experienced Ireland researchers on the list, than I. I am sending this to all my lists because I get email all the time asking what to do and where to go to get help. I am not an expert. I am learning like most. While I have been doing genealogy for a couple of years, I am still learning. Everytime I get an ancestor from, a new area, it is like starting all over again. Most of my ancestors are centered in Irish research, and you all know how difficult it is. So please, especially those new to the lists and to genealogy, in general, bookmark these sites and when you have time use them to familiarize yourself in what's available on line and off line. Happy hunting.
