Someone who is not subscribed to the list tried to send through some digital images. In case you were not aware, you can't post a message to this list unless you are subscribed and the RootsWeb/Ancestry filters block images from lists. They also filters out formatting, which can be picked up if you copy and paste lists from websites. The site looks quite interesting and I don't remember anyone mentioning it. Perhaps it has nothing to do with County Down or Northern Ireland. National Library of Ireland http://www.nli.ie/ The particular images the sender was trying to share were from all over - Dublin, Waterford, etc. They are collections of photographs. I don't know if any of them have County Down, but perhaps some of the scenic photos do. Diane in Seattle List Admin a..
