County Derry is Londonderry. My Family is Anderson. I have been researching since the 1980s. The cost of a month with Ancestry.com is well worth it. I shall keep an eye open for Your family. I am also researching in Falkirk in Scotland. I hope I can help. the Family History Monthly is a very good magazine. I was franically searching for my Greatgrandmother's family in england. I have since found that her Mother came from Ireland and her father from the United States. I am from North Queensland. I found the local genealogy clubs sometimes have a stack of information. some people buy fische, books etc. and donate them when they have collected all the information they want from them.
