Need advice on Donegal info site
« on: Monday 28 September 09 12:13 BST (UK) »
Hi
I have been researching my family for a fair while now and have just come across this site  www.donegalconnections.com

I have never heard of it, but I did have a look and it seems as if it could help me in my research.  The drawback is that you hand over a few bob to get the records, but it seems reasonable to use.  Can anyone tell me if this is a worthwhile site to use?

Thanks for any help.

Welcome Lauramcm,

Try this Free site by Lindl Buckley.  Excellent and I highly recommend it.

Don't forget the 1911 Census are also online too.

Good luck,

Thank you for the input.  I have visited Linda's site and it is very good.  I have a bit of a family tree, but as you know, you never quite get all the spaces filled.  I just thought I might be lucky using the site I mentioned.  It certainly does show some names that would interest me, but I am not sure if it is just a money making  sheme or whatever?
Thanks anyway
