Thanks Linda and listers for the recommendations about lodging. The Avenue Guesthouse doesn't have space, so we booked at a B&B called All Seasons. From their map it appears it's just around the corner from PRONI on Lisburn Ave. I'll make sure to post when I get back and let you all know how it goes. I'm most excited about the second part of our stay, which will be closer to Antrim. (The ancestors are from Muckamore.) We're lodging in a restored Irish Landmark Trust property - Ballealy Cottage - in Randalstown. It was the gamekeeper's lodge for the Shane's Castle estate and is close to the banks of the Lough. Pricey, but it's also self-catering, so we can save a bit on food. Here's the link if anyone would like to take a look. _www.irishlandmark.com/restored.asp?id=6_ (http://www.irishlandmark.com/restored.asp?id=6) Now trying to find a researcher who will do some work for me before we go and possibly some one-on-one with me while there. Can't wait! Karen Booth Researching WHYTE/WHITE in Shaneoguestown, Grange of Muckamore, County Antrim
