Could anyone advise if there Speers listed in the book? I'e' is it worth purchasing? I am searching Speers (fairly sure of spelling) from Down in general and in particular Hugh b. 1780 Tandaragee, County Armagh, Ireland- d.1851County Down, Ireland. If anyone is interested, I have started a Irish strays GEDCOM and input whenever I see reference to an online resource or text of value. Thanks, Alex P.S Cold in NZ? He he! Windchill here seems -30 but just -12C here in Nova Scotia!

I've just ordered a copy from www.booksireland.org.uk for 8 pounds + postage so will sit back and wait for it to arrive. As Glen pointed out, there were lots of entries for the names I'm interested in so too much for a lookup... much better to buy the book for myself. Can anyone tell me what the name of the nearest Presbyterian church for the Commons area would be? Thanks again to everyone for their help. Cheers, Kate Cunningham in a very cold and windy Wellington NZ....winter has arrived early
