Dear Friends, I have just volunteered to take on the role of Project Coordinator for the County DOWN section of rootsweb's Ireland Genealogy Project (IGP) (TM) which has a website at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nirdow2/ I plan to redesign the site to include information that is useful to us all in our research and to update the site as often as possible to keep the information fresh. Now I know from my own family research that the proximity of Down and Wigtownshire means that a lot of families have connections on both sides of the Irish Sea. I would be extremly grateful for any information that any of you come across in your research that I could include on the Co. Down site. If anyone has ideas or information that they would like to be added to the site please let me know. Photographs would be especially welcome. Good luck to you all with your research, Fiona.
