I have just started a new list on rootsweb to help those new with Irish genealogical research. If you need help with your Irish research, I am hoping this is a list to get that help. I am looking for both newbies to Irish research and for those with some experience in it to give answers to questions when posted to the list. I am looking for help from those of you who have general knowledge of both Northern Ireland and the Ireland Republic research resources. Plus, I am hoping for help from knowledgeable researchers who have experience with one or more dedicated counties. If you join the list and have a county or a couple of county specialties please write me off the list and let me know your county(s). I am actually soliciting posters that I see on the lists who give specific county advice and would like to get the 32 counties covered over and above those with general Irish knowledge. The list will be announced by Rootsweb next week but you can join it now. Send an email to: Ireland-Genealogy-Newbies-L-Request@rootsweb.com or Ireland-Genealogy-Newbies-D-Request@rootsweb.com L-for individual posts to the list; D-for digest form Put: Subscribe --in the subject and body and send off. If you have any questions about the list, feel free to write me. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
