Hello Fellow Listers: I need some help from those of you who might be or were commercial travellers. In 1911 my grandfather James Valentine resigned the Secretaryship of the Belfast Branch of the United Kingdom Commercial Travellers Association. Other members of the family were also commercial travellers. This outfit merged in 1976 with other groups. The Modern Records Office in Warwick became the repository of much but not all of their old records, but they do not have those from the Belfast Branch. PRONI also says that they do not have these records. Would anyone out there be able to suggest which archive and where these records of the Belfast Branch might be found today? These could be of considerable help in sorting out my family Any suggestions? Al Valentine Canada
