Hi there.... I have just learned that the people whose message board system I was using on the Westmeath Genealogy (IGP) website are ending this resource. I am putting the queries here so everyone can see them. If you wish to respond to a query please email directly to the person rather than replying to this list as the people may not be subscribers. We do have a surname registry on the website which I think does a good job of helping people find other researchers. I apologize for this problem. Regards, Christina Co Westmeath Ireland host ............................................................................ .....................
