As many of you know, my sister and I have been involved with Northern Ireland research for many years. I have now found that the Ballymena Family History Society has new leadership and a new Facebook page. I have been able to join their group on Facebook. This is a group of people who are dedicated to helping others in their quest for Northern Ireland information. I highly recommend you join them. One of their members, Alistair McCartney was a blessing to us when we were trying to get all the burial books at the Braid photographed. He was SO MUCH BETTER at it than we were! Also the Northern Ireland Family History Society is a good group to become affiliated with. They provide vital help in researching your family.
I will post some links to these groups as soon as I get my own membership sorted. But I am sure google would be willing to help with that.
I am looking forward to gathering all the information that is available from these groups. Although I must confess at the moment I am still focused on the scanning and labeling of all my research and that of my sister’s. But we are making progress. I am anxious to see if I get any hits from people who are interested in the Barney family information I posted this week.
Ireland is not the easiest place to trace a family so the fact that there are dedicated people there working on genealogy and willing to help is a great thing!
