Hi Aggie-Rose I thought the purpose of lists was to help each other. I might have resources and you don't or vice versa. I am another Australian with Irish roots and am jolly sure I won't get to Ireland for $179.00 or anything even remotely close. If you ever need help on Aussie details, please feel free to ask me for help and I will do the same with you. I have a g grandfather who was supposedly from Dublin but I have just about given up on him. I also have two other branches of my mother's tree from Ireland but, what with records burnt in fires and people who are obviously not willing to help, I have just about decided to stop trying to go further back in Ireland.

Re narrowing my search, there are very specific records I would like to access, I just didn't list them here as that was not the point of my question. I realize that once I see what is on the records I'm currently interested in, it could well lead to other records but that was not relevant to my question. And I am well aware of all the variants of the Reddin surname and keep a constant eye open. Again just not relevant to my question. cheers Aggi-Rose > On Thu, 07 Dec 2006 15:43:44 -0500, Peggy <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Well of course, the obvious answer to that is - depends on where one > > lives!
