Thanks for your input and the wonderful site. Between you and Pat Connor and my own searches, I have really built up a list of great research sites for Ireland and they have been of MUCH help. ----- Original Message ----- From: ronald ferguson To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2007 2:14 PM Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Ancestry.com and Ancestry.co.uk
Pat, As far as I can tell from only quick looks at Ancestry.com there is a big difference. To answer your second quesion is easy, Ancestry.co.uk has more or less nothing that will help you regarding Ireland - a lot of Irish records were, however, destroyed during the first lot of troubles. There are some Parish and Probate records but how many I can't tell, I suspect not many from Ireland. You are best having a look at http://www.censusfinder.com/ireland.htm which contains much more than censuses Ron Ferguson _____________________________________________________________________ For Genealogy, Software and Social visit: http://www.fergys.co.uk *New Blog* Protect Your PC View the Grimshaw Family Tree at: http://www.fergys.co.uk/Grimshaw/ For The Fergusons of N.W.
