Thanks very much, Ronnie! And my apologies for my delayed response. My wife and I have been traveling and my only access to the internet is in a public library. I'll make a point of going to the Registry of Deeds too. Maurice Sent from my iPad > On Sep 28, 2013, at 4:06 AM, Ronnie Shorten <ronnieshorten@gmail.com> wrote: > > Maurice . The registry of Deeds in Henrietta street is a wonderful place for family history. It is intact and undisturbed for over 300 years. The documents are well preserved there and if your families had land they are probably registered there. I found two different marriage settlements there for great grand parents also. It is a very interesting place to spend a day and the index system is easy to follow. It is a help if you have the names of your ancestors' landlords if they were renting their farms. > About twenty years ago we made a video programme on how to trace your ancestors in Ireland. We had the help of two qualified genealogists on board. There was nothing on the Internet at that stage so it is a bit old fashioned, but it still might be useful. If you send me your address it may be helpful for you. We have it on DVD also and I could post it to you. Obviously there is no charge . It does not sell now it has reached it's sell by date!!
