I wish you luck on the cross Irish Sea join. A difficult thing with the Irish records as they are.
Actually i don't live in Norn Irn (as they call it there). I live in London though I was brought up in Belfast. I visit once a year and always go to PRONI and sometimes GRONI. Are there other places I should be looking at. I think there are some records in Ballynahinch but haven't attempted to go there. It all takes time as you know. A day achieves very little.
I will be looking up the wills I McAuley discovered in the PRONI online index. It is not guaranteed that I find them since the Belfast will books are not indexed on the microfilm and ofetn not even in a logical order. If I find anything I wil report.
Do you think we could get a petition up to ask the Irish National Archives to get a move on with the census.
