Hi list Just a note to say that there have been some major improvements on the Fermanagh Gold website, in particular with reference to the different search facilities. You will now be able to view all Surnames by first alphabetival letter. Each surname is a clickable link to a full list of people with that surname. Browsing the list in this way gives you an overview of the enormous spelling variations in the surnames. Similarly the Search Families by Place has been improved so you can now view place names in the database, (residences, parishes etc) each of which is a clickable link to a list of all people with some connection with that place name. This search facility in the past was very limited but should now provide a valuable indication of "who lived where". As with surnames, place names too appear with a wide range of spelling variations. The 1821 Census extracts and the 1881 Census Strays are being expanded to include parental information where known, and cross referenced links to other Fermanagh born people in the household. This is an ongoing project as it will take some months to get through the 10,000+ entries! Not too many new contributions have been published lately as I've been concentrating on improving these search facilities. But I have been sent lots of really interesting material - so watch this space! As always, access to the searches is FREE, the only requirement that you register your name and email address.
