HI all, Came across this site http://thesession.org which might be of interest to those looking for traditional music. In the search box, if you type in Belfast sessions, you will get a list of bars which hold sessions. They also have a commecnt bx. However, you had better check with the bars first, as I dont know how uptodate the information is. Brian __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Church Photos on my web site at the link below. Alternatively, type: Jean McCarthy into the GOOGLE search engine for a direct link. I have added two more photographs to the latest church photos page on my web site. These have been kindly donated by James in Sydney Australia. The new photos are of Ryans Church at Finnard near Newry. Very many sincere thanks to James who very kindly shared these photos with us all. I hope to add more photos of churches in the future as and when they are donated for the web site. So if anyone has got any church photos that they would like to see on my web site, I will be very happy to post them. I think it is wonderful to be able to perhaps see the photos of the church where our ancestors were baptised, married or buried. Particularly if it allows some folks who may never get to Ireland to see them in reality. Kindest Regards. Jean McCarthy nee Moore. Staffordshire, England.

Kathleen, Ballymoney town itself is up in North Antrim area, but the Ballymoney townland which I referred to looks to be in the Falls Road area, though I cant be sure.

Listers, There is a map of Belfast and surrounding area that is posted at this web site: http://www.yourmapsonline.org.uk/maps_for_web/Ireland/Belfastareamaster_sm.jpg I have the original of this map that dates from 1866. If there is a piece of it you would like to get a closer look at, let me know and I'll extract it from the map and email it to you. Don't worry, I have scanned the map and the pieces you will be getting are electronic copies. Andy Scissorhands I am not. Some rules: Please give me an good idea as to where the place you are looking for is on the map. Anything will help. I don't know the geography of the area very well, so something like "in line horizontally from Hollywood and straight down from Antrim" would be nice, or "about 2 miles NW of Jordantown" would be helpful too. Please be accurate as possible. Something on the lines of "It is called Ballysomething and it is near Belfast" will not likely end up in a positive result. The text on the map is very small but is all legible. The bigger the place you reference, the better your chance of getting it will be. With so much small text it is sometimes hard to find small places. Please give me an idea as to how much of the area around the place you want. I'd hate to send you something that did not include everything you want. Best yet would be to copy the images and crop out the piece you want a close up of and send me the image so I can get you exactly what you want. All replies will be off list to keep chatter down. There are a couple of other images on the site at: http://www.yourmapsonline.org.uk/ireland.htm that are of Belfast city proper. The one from 1894 is big enough for you to use on your own, but the one from 1886 I can send a bigger copy to you if you want. My grandfather was born one week before the publication date of the image and I can see the house he was born in on York St. in the map. Priceless. Andy Airriess I-56 (My birth year!)

Walt, I have a poor photocopy of an article about townlands and a map showing the townlands of the Falls [Falls Road, Belfast] from the Andersonstown News of Feb 3 1979, by M.J.McShane. It shows Ballymoney townland to be surrounded by the following townlands: Balydownfine, Ballygammon, Ballyfinaghy, Dunmurry, ?town, and Black Mountain. The article states: ''Ballymoney, an older spelling of this shows it to be derived from the Irish Baile Maigh Muine meaning the thicket covered plain'' Hope this is of some help.
