Good morning, guys.
This list proves yet again that co. Tyrone families are a veritable global diaspora, round the globe and round the clock ....! Boyd, your sleuthing is simply great. Wow! Lots of tips for all of us, especially in combining what’s available from various sources and repositories. Jim, thanks for your encouragement (and for running our list). Ray, you asked how to find the actual IMAGE. In many instances on https://www.irishgenealogy.ie (but not all), when you find a record listing you will see a link to "image" at the bottom of the white block (it’s in the middle of the page, for Births, just below the line for “Mother's Birth Surname” This is what takes you to the actual .pdf. Only some entries include images, so you've got to be lucky. Sometimes you’ve got to look through 2 or more pages to find the entry. Then (if you’re adventurous and “on the prowl”) you can do more, and “sleuth the system” …. Once you're at the actual image, you can browse surrounding pages in the original register (e.g. for the same Registry Office) by craftily changing the .pdf image page number +1 or -1, in your browser page heading. I have learnt of other folks from the same or other townlands nearby just by sniffing around in this way. It's perhaps the closest one can get - electronically - to feeling and savouring the original pages in a leather-bound volume! All the best for 2018.

Hi Dave. Long time with no chat. Great to see you still helping people on the lists. Can still remember when I FIRST joined CTI and/or Donegaleire, and you were living over there then; how you would so kindly check out stuff for people during your daily work travels around the countryside. Anyway, this note is because I am seeking your assistance with a few things. And I should start by saying that about 10 or more years ago I was hit with depression, which wrecked my mind and my memory as well as a lot of other things — but note though that I can still remember your kindliness to others as noted above; so maybe it is only my short-term memory which is kaput! ha ha. I saw your note to Bob about STEENSON etc., with the URL for irishgenealogy.ie for civil BDMs. AND I saw your other link to him, showing a pdf of the actual entry itself. BUT I cannot see how I can go FROM an irishgenealogy.ie RESULT — TO the pdf image. My apologies for hitting you with this probably very elementary to you, request. Grateful for any light which you can shed on it for me please Bob. Thanks in advance. And wishing you a Happy New Year for 2018 — seeing that we are still within the first month of the year. haha. Kind Regards. Ray in Oz.
