Hi Len, A small point.
As you say, the TABs are essential for researching the previous generation and the only place to find them for Tyrone is at CTI, where you have transcribed them. And they are essential viewing IF you know which parish to research. However, I am often searching for a family in the 1820s/30s where the only location known is Co Tyrone. This is easy for the GV as the website allows one to search by county but I cannot do that with the CTI database. How hard would it be to merge the TAB data which is currently divided by parish, into a database covering the whole of Tyrone which would then be easily searchable. Think the Hacketts in that email we commented upon yesterday.
