OBCGS is a member of the
|
 Irish
Heritage Association
based in Belfast Ireland.
This is an association dedicated to helping people find their Irish relatives.
Research in Ireland is somewhat complicated because of our lack of knowledge
of local resources and the reputation of the Four Courts fire in 1822.
All hope is not lost, however, as there are other records to supplement
the last census records.
We, as an organization, belong
to the Irish Heritage Association to help you find your Irish ancestors
at a nominal cost. You can commission a fully documented consultative report
for $110.00. It takes about 6-8 weeks for you to receive the preliminary
report and up to six months for the completed report, depending on how
much information there is available.
A consultative report is
just what the name says ~ this report will tell you whether there is enough
documentation on your family to warrant a full scale report which is somewhat
more expensive to finish. Look at a sample report of Humphrey
Cunningham
How do you commission a report?
That is what OBCGS is for. Contact, by mail, Bettie R. Albright P.O.
Box 2122, Asheville, NC 28802-2122 with as much information as you
may know about your Irish relative and include a check for $110.00 payable
to OBCGS and the search is on!

IRISH HERITAGE
LINKS is the magazine we receive from the Irish Heritage Association,
162A Kingsway, Dunmurry, Belfast BT 17 9AD, Northern Ireland and is one
of the benefits of the Group Membership in the Association held by OBCGS.
In its Volume 5, No. 3, Summer 1993 which we have here in the OBCGS library
there is much information about County Donegal The Fort of Foreigners.
It includes description of its geography, scenery, its shore line, bays,
and history. There are descriptions of several towns © Ballyshannon,
Buncrana, Killeybegs, Letterkenny, Lifford, Moville, Rapahoe, Ramelton,
and Stranorlar.
She lists the
most numerous names in the County, including the name Campbell, and then
proceeds to list all the Septs of the Clan Campbell. It is a useful way
to spend a few browsing moments in the OBCGS library. © or write for
photo copies of the six pages involved. It is cataloged as a periodical
in our "Foreign - Europe, UK. Ireland shelf section.
Remember, you
can order a Consultative Report from the IHA as a member of OBCGS for $90.00
without necessarily holding your own single membership of $40.00 besides.
There are several OBCGS members' searches going on now, but since they
are fully privately funded, we are not likely to bring the results to you
here unless they choose to submit articles. However, if you have much to
do, we recommend that you contact Mrs. Kathleen Neil directly for full
details of personal membership. Mrs. Neil is highly respected as a research
director, executive secretary for many Clan Associations, and personally
conducted tours.
