David Good luck with your searches. I stand corrected about photocopying at GRONI. I was confusing the arrangements with PRONI where you can now get a photocopy off the microfilms - using a special reader - for less than £1 each - my apologies for misleading you on that - 'tis an age thing perhaps!!

With 2 of you working for 2 days I suppose you might see 30 registers - how many do you think you'll need? Well, just looking at the descendants who remained in NI from one set of my great grandparents there are over 50 names that need a birth, or a death or a marriage or a combination of up to all looking for. For the other set of great grandparents there are only a few because I don't know of any descendants remaining there. I was also hoping to take the lines a bit further back than I currently have. In addition one of them was a Brontë so I have about another 50 names of them in the Brontë line to look at as well. >I hope this is of some help. > Mike > PS - why don't you email them and ask? I
