Anne, Ballymena has recently been on the radar screen for a few Scotch-Irish family email lists I am on. I think an opportunity to receive some pointed guidance by locals who actually understand genealogy would be a huge plus. Rootsweb lists: Scotch-Irish and Boyd have had members discussing specifics of Ballymena focused trips this Spring. There #1 question to those of us with some experience is - Where do I go in Ballymena I'll be in Balleymoney for their October conference mainly to spread the word to the local genealogy/history facilities about this need. The numbers of Scotch-Irish researchers is large and growing. Unfortunately, Ulster is largely unaware of their existence. As a co-author of the 1718 web site _http://www.1718migration.org.uk/_ (http://www.1718migration.org.uk/) ; I spent some time with the Ulster-Scots Agency in Belfast discussing this very need. I am beginning to see some little sprouts of those seeds we planted about 4 years ago. The east Donegal Historical Society was the first (that I know of) to create a genealogy/history conference. Londonderry and then Balleymoney were next in creating an actual 2 day event and marketing it to the genealogy universe. They need work on that marketing, conference program, and accommodations BUT they are doing it. That will get them immediate rewards. I don't want to take more email space, but the key is "full cooperation". You get a commitment, then involve all groups, you will get a good response. Make it work and you'll get universal acclaim as a "to do trip" for genealogists and families for many generations. Colin Brooks The 1718 Project Quakertown, PA USA In a message dated 4/1/2010 1:43:33 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Hello everyone. We have been talking with some people in Ballymena and would like to have the people on the list comment on the interest in research in the Ballymena area. What is your opinion of the possibility for small group trips to Ballymena, with local contact with people with local knowledge and familiar with the different townlands. Possibly to include research at the Ballymena Library, cemetery trips, and church visits. Probably with transportation included. Hopefully with the full cooperation with the local government, museum and library. The idea would be to help establish local contacts and the ability to gather local knowledge that has been collected by word of mouth as well as the records available. Do you think this type of trip would be of interest to a lot of people? It would definitely not be a big group tour. This would be a much more personalized type of thing. NI sightseeing would be optional, possibly outside of the group tour. Also a trip to PRONI and other Belfast research venues. I was asked to get your input on this subject and would appreciate any comments.

Hi Linda The cancellation books are a little different. They show how the ownership has transferred >From http://www.ballybegvillage.com/genealogy.html The Cancellation Books are invaluable in tracing the history of a property and, by so doing, tracing the history of a family. The books are stored in the Valuation Office at Irish Life Centre, Lower Abbey Street in Dublin. Here you can consult the books yourself and colour copies of each page can be made for a fee. The colour copy is essential as the entries were made in different coloured inks down through the years; not in any random fashion but in a very organised way with each colour matched to the year the entry was made. Some caution is needed when interpreting the information in these books as the entries were sometimes made in the years after the change of ownership took place. And also the House books An often overlooked record, but one which really links researchers with the home of their ancestor, is the House Books. These House Books together with the Field Books and Tenure Books were the original notebooks recorded by the surveyors when compiling the Valuation of Ireland. In the House Books you will find the exact measurements of the house in question. The three above mentioned records are also kept at the Valuation Office, Irish Life Centre, Lower Abbey Street, Dublin. The above reminded me about the colour coding and I remember now someone telling me that films weren't much use because they are in black and white. Maybe the house books are what I am thinking of. I am sure one of them has been filmed apart from the valuation.

Thanks for the input.  Would you be willing to email Jayne Clarke the curator at the Braid Museum?  [email protected]  She is working on trying to put some things together on just those lines.  She intends to be at the Ballymoney Conference in October.  I am sure she would appreciate any assistance you could give her.  Just as a side note, she is not the one who has asked me about the research trips.  We have been in contact with her because we are just finishing a project photographing burial and registration books for the cemeteries under control of the Borough Council.

Hello everyone. We have been talking with some people in Ballymena and would like to have the people on the list comment on the interest in research in the Ballymena area. What is your opinion of the possibility for small group trips to Ballymena, with local contact with people with local knowedge and familiar with the different townlands.  Possibly to include research at the Ballymena Library, cemetery trips, and church visits.  Probably with transportation incuded.  Hopefully with the full cooperation with the local government, museum and library.  The idea would be to help establish local contacts and the ability to gather local knowledge that has been collected by word of mouth as well as the records available. Do you think this type of trip would be of interest to a lot of people?  It would definitely not be a big group tour.  This would be a much more personalized type of thing.  NI sightseeing would be optional, possibly outside of the group tour.  Also a trip to PRONI and other Belfast research venues. I was asked to get your input on this subject and would appreciate any comments. Anne   Anne Shier Klintworth Check out my genealogy blog at http://genealogygirl.wordpress.com/

Dianna I think they have been filmed by LDS...but maybe not all of them. You can view the films through the Family History Centres. The Library Catalogue at www.familysearch.org will tell you what films they have and the number to order and you can also find the closest centre on their website too.

Hi I hope someone can tell me where I would find The Cancelled Land Books where I hoping to find my ancestor Hugh HEANEY unlisted. The family moved to England around 1864 and I'm trying to verify this and I have just found information on the cancelled land books which shows a change in the head of the household. Thanks Kind regards Dianna

Antrim Dianna;   Although I can not answer your question. I too am doing research on the HEANEY surname. I have an Ellen HEANEY who married Hugh HATTON. Hugh is the grandson of Henry McFALL. Does any of this appear in your HEANEY research?   Thanks,   Sharon/USA [email protected] "One Nation Under God" --- On Sun, 3/28/10, dianna charles <[email protected]> wrote: From: dianna charles <[email protected]> Subject: [IRL-ANTRIM] Glenavy Co.

Sharon Our line is descended from Hugh Bradford and Fanny Hill through their son Hugh who married Elizabeth Donaldson. Hugh and Elizabeth and most of their family came to Australia in 1853. Hugh's (jnr) siblings were as far as I'm aware, Sarah b bef 1804, James who married Isabella Donaldson, Samuel who married Elizabeth Reid. There may be others who I am not aware of.
