To add to the former comment, we are getting so deep into special projects like tombstone, BMD and other types of databases, that it is just too much work for one person to be everything to everyone. Add to that the new Ireland Genealogy Archives and such progress calls for specialty coordinators...one or more to generate cemetery transcriptions, another group to develop county level BMD records, another group to track down and transcribe land records, and the beat goes on. We could literally use 100 new special coordinators right now, and later on a thousand. no single person and no small group can do it all, so for those interested, pick a specialty of your interest, step forward and volunteer. While at it, remember to provide your Tyrone family records so everyone on the internet can help you. Together we can do this. donkelly ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donal O'Kelly" <ocollaugh@comcast.net> To: <nir-tyrone@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 4:41 PM Subject: Re: [NIR-TYRONE] McCann > Sure are.
