Yes Google is different depending on where one lives. I posted this here on 8th Dec http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/Scotch-Irish/2011-12/1323303711 If one is in Oz or USA ETC THE DEFAULT IS GOOGLE.COM BUT WWW.GOOGLE.IE GETS RESEARCHERS FOR IRISH STUFF MUCH BETTER RESULTS!! so all one has to do is type in www.google.ie....then search. Looking at queries posted here and on other boards I often ask myself "Why they do not GOOGLE stuff??" then I realized they don't know that a massive amount of stuff is on the IRISH GOOGLE that is not on GOOGLE.COM or .AU etc.... MANY MANY of the recent posts here could be easily answered simply by the poster going to www.google.ie!!!!
