SOME INFORMATION MAY NOT BE CURRENT SO, I WOULD CHECK WITH THE INDIVIDUAL GENEALOGICAL CENTRES OF IRELAND BEFORE PLANNING A VISIT. I HAVE FOUND IT VERY IMPORTANT TO SEND A SELF ADDRESSED ENVELOPE WHEN MAKING ENQUIRIES AS THIS SEEMS TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS. I ALSO SEND A SMALL CHECK EVEN THOUGH MOSTLY THE INDIVIDUAL GENEALOGICAL CENTRES DONT REQUIRE ANY MONIES UNTIL AFTER THEY SEND YOU A QUESTIONAIRE. IN YOUR FIRST LETTER TO THE CENTRES INCLUDE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE ON YOUR FAMILY RESEARCH. THIS ALSO SPEEDS UP THE PROCESS. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU! ** CENTRE (SPELLED CENTER IN ENGLISH) ***THE WORD "BALLY" (IS TOWN IN ENGLISH) Chrystie MYERS BROOKOVER, COWGER, KRABAL, MOYERS, MYRES, SWECKER --------------------------- # --------------------------- Rootsweb List Administrator - [email protected] Homestead for MYERS GENEALOGY.COM at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chrystiem/myersfam.html
