Do many of the Ulster towns have Historical Societies, as this is one great way to find ones roots in any town... I believe Ballyclare has one.. as here in NZ many areas have them as well.. our local one, in Carterton, I was there when we started the Museum etc... and was able to get historical records and books to help folk trace their family.. Ulster was world famous for its flax industry. Ulster Linen Mills... beautiful handkerchife's... tea towels... my spell checker doesnt like hankie spelling! I have roots in Ballyclare and Whitehead... Campbell's in both towns.. late ..Uncle Robert was Math's teacher for years at Ballyclare High School...
