Hi people, I ordered a copy of "Researching Scots-Irish Ancestors. The Essential Genealogical Guide to Early Modern Ulster, 1600-1800" By William Roulston and today it came. I've not had time to read it but it's great! It's kind of a "Tracing your Irish Ancestors"..... for US. Ie it is organized by type of record. Has a general section. Covers the personal name index at PRONI (which is filmed and in LDS, but not of course updated to today), IGI...under church records it covers Church of Ireland and Presbyterian extensively as well as Succession, Non-Subscribing, Reformed Presbyterians and Methodists, Moravians, Quakers and the Catholic Church. Also our buddies the Huguenots. It has a chapter on 17th century records and one on 18th, etc. It has an appendix with estate collections that predate 1800 organized by county. It was written in Ulster. It provides PRONI reference numbers (some of PRONIs collection is filmed and in LDS). It also has an appendix that lists records by parish. I first tried to order this from amazon but it didn't carry it. The UK amazon might....donno. I got it from Global Genealogy, in Canada. See this link: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/ireland/resources/080026.htm you can get it from www.ancestryireland.com and www.booksireland.org.uk too. It was published by the Ulster Historical Foundation with support from the Ulster-Scots Agency. THANK YOU to both organizations. If you get the book and need to access records in PRONI, ask on this list. There are several professionals on the list who can do work in PRONI for you. I've worked with them myself. So glad to see this book written at last!! Linda Merle ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at mail.fea.net

It is a great book! Picton Press (www.pictonpress.com ) has it for $14.99. (They just took over the NEHGS bookstore mail order operations a week or so ago, and will resume shipping tomorrow).
