Monaghan Has anyone used a researcher or other entity to search the NLI or the Clones library in Co. Monaghan for geneaology help? If you have been happy with the results, I would like to know what I could expect. Has anyone used Eneclann's services out of Dublin's Trinity college? Were you pleased with their work and the cost involved? How about the Clones library in regard to research services provided? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Beverly, I hired Ulster Ancestry, the group that Laurie mentions in the previous post, to research my Co. Monaghan ancestry. As with MANY failed attempts I have made on my own, they were unable to produce any direct documentation of my Rafferty or Hanratty families from Co. Monaghan. Given that my family immigrated to America in 1845, it may not surprise you that there just wasn't that much information available prior to that time. However, I was prepared to 'grasp at straws' in an attempt to learn more. That being said, I felt they charged a fair price for 12 hours of research, and they produced a comprehensive report of any reference to these surnames that they could locate within the county. If you hire someone, you just accept that you are paying for their services with no guarantees that you will receive that elusive document or record. I wish you much success in your research.
