Subscription sites-Recommendations ?
« on: Wednesday 05 April 06 11:03 BST (UK) »
Living in Australia & researching mainly in Carrickfergus & surrounding townships,(with 1 Grandfather from Dublin)I've been doing as much net trawling as I can, plus posting on various sites, plus using the facilities of the local Mormon Family History Centre microfilms (working full time doesn't allow me a great deal of access to their files, as I can't get there during business hours) and have joined Genes Reunited, but find a lot of available info is US oriented. Does anyone have any recommendations re sites with an Ulster bias ? I've invested in the computer & printer- scanner, and am getting certificates as I can afford them,and have sufficient info to order them, but feel a good site would make a big difference to my efforts, (and avoid ordering the wrong things at times, too. As someone new to this, I'm never sure if I'm doing things in the best way, so any advice or suggestions would be great. Regards, Coral

go to www.belfastforum.co.uk.

Go to either exles or geneology they are a mine of information.

Hello Coral,

Sites that provide Ulster information relating to Ulster include Belfast Forum (as mentioned by Adrienne), Emerald Ancestors and the UHF site www.ancestryireland.com
