Here are some other sites that I have used: cyndlist and GENUKI - go into Ireland, then spend hours/days/weeks roaming around! rootsweb mailing lists for counties and surnames for Ireland rootsweb irelandoldnews scripts.ireland irishgenealogy.ie irishroots.net ni_towns.tripod usrs.on.net/~proformat/irlnamesL ireland.anglican.org/library/libroots nli.ie/family_hr.htm#com from-ireland.net/contents ulsterancestry proni.gov.uk/ulstercovenantsearch I haven't used them all recently, so hope they still exist! I do have some more sites but for specific counties. By the way, if you google search for Ulster Covenant, you will find its site, which I find fascinating - in it: 'The archive of the Ulster Unionist Council, held by the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI), contains just under half a million original signatures and addresses of the men who, on 28 September 1912, signed the Ulster Covenant, and of the women who signed the parallel Declaration. In total, the Covenant was signed by 237,368 men, and the Declaration by 234,046 women.'. It brings history alive for me to see their signatures. Joy

Thanks for all of your comments and help. It really is appreciated as it helps me try to solve the mystery..... The lady that helped to try and find the marriage cert for me was : [email protected] She lives in Ireland and goes to the Dublin records office weekly - she does charge but it was reasonable (even though I didn't find what I wanted!). Bye for now, Nicola

Nicola, have you tried the libraries in the area in which your grandparents were born? That may well have a genealogy department. I get all my records for my husbands family from the library in Leitrim. It may even be a central office, I do not know, but you could try yours first. If you need the address of the Leitrim one, I will give you it. Deanna

Joy thanks for all those websites. I have printed them off and will work my way through them. Thanks again for your help. Anne

Joy Thank you for reminding me of the Ulster Covenant site. I had completely forgotten and have just now found my great-uncle listed.

Twinkle - it is possible my great-uncle is there! - or another Will McCusker!! :-) Joy

You're welcome, Anne. Enjoy! :-) Joy
