I have looked up graves (names/dates) on this website, but never paid for a transcription. None of a known dozen or so gravesites of my ancestors buried 1895-1938 on the Drumgooland/Ballyward page are there.

Personally I do not find this site [as below] helpful at all. If I knew what they wanted me to put in to get a reasonable result then I wouldn't need them in the first place. Much like the Representative Library of the Anglican Church in Dublin. Personally the UHF site is the best and with their new offices and reseach platform coming on-line next year, the rest of the sites in Ulster can pack it in. I've delayed my visit to Belfast for another year pending the new UHF libabry and research facility.

Hi Eric - thanks for your reply. I am surprised by your complimentary comments on UHF. I have found their records to be so full of errors and I never get a response from them when I ask for clarification. I also find their site search engine is geared towards scamming as much money out of you as possible for as little information as possible. If the other sites in Ulster pack it in them I really think we are all in trouble. I would like to see some organization that really cares about genealogy come to the fore. Fiona. ======= IGP Co.

Is there anyone on the list living near Belfast that is a professional genealogist or would like to look up information for a fee? I can't get to Ireland and really need to have someone search out a few things for me. If so, please contact me at teacher@pmt.org and I will answer. Thanks!!
