Newry, Donaghmore,
Loughbrickland & Banbridge Web Site
~
For
this site to grow and be a further aid to you and other visitors, the
following are areas that you can help me with. 1.
Photos.2.
Cemetery records.3.
Church records.4.
Web sites & links that you know of (including your own) .5.
Family trees (from this area).6.
Any records or documents that you have.7.
Family stories that you have.8.
Personal recollections from trips to this area of Down.9.
Historic information of the area.10.
Passenger lists.11.
Lookups-Volunteers that can do lookups for others and what they specialize in
(their resources). This could include people that can look up
information at a place like Proni in Belfast as well as local people in areas
such as Banbridge, Gilford, Donaghmore, Loughbrickland, Newry,Scarva,
Bessbrook, etc. If you have a book, CD or other resources from the area,
this could help others, if we know who has it and that they are willing to
help others.12.
Suggestions?
13.
Of course, if you run into any of my Ruddock's, McConnell's, Hamilton's,
Thompson's, Porter's, Kidd's, Cummin's, and others in my family tree, be sure
to let me know. Records prior to about 1790 are few and far between for
the families we have located so far.
If
you contact me, I will work with you in any way possible to get the new things
on the web site. You can attach what you have to an email or mail (pony
express) it directly to me.
I
think we have an opportunity here to really zero in on an area.
With all of us working together, then maybe it will be possible to pool our
knowledge and resources together so that we can make a dent in this part of
the genealogy world. The opportunity awaits!
If
you are interested in having your own web site for your things, then this is
OK too! If you would like my help in accomplishing this, let me know
what you want to do and I will help you in any way I can.
