Hi Barb: The contact is at the Belfast Evening Telegraph ... http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/ .... looking up the advertising codes they give you and use the three digit number in your e-mail to them .... then compose your ad ..... 40 words or less ....then cross your fingers that they place it for you. If you know of anyone there in Belfast get them to get a copy of the Tuesday night paper and see if its in there. Its just one more venue for genealogists doing some local family research. Hope you have better luck with your family as I now believe that the Macklins in northern Ireland don't have computers, must still be crofters. I'd recommend this venue to anyone trying to cover Belfast, Down and Antrim. Could be a whole new subject. Lets see what happens, ..... maybe I'll redo mine. All the best. Eric

here is a suggestion for you that your surname might have been spelled very differently there. even so far as to be McLynn? or some variant..they were not into the scottish spellings much there. nancy --- E Macklin <emacklin@rogers.com> wrote: > Hi Barb: > > The contact is at the Belfast Evening Telegraph ... > http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/ .... looking up the advertising > codes > they give you and use the three digit number in your e-mail to them > .... > then compose your ad ..... 40 words or less ....then cross your > fingers that > they place it for you.
