Dear Linda -



for some reason I have not received your private e-mails so I hope you don't mind I use SI to defend myself [I always have good 'e - manners' and reply to personal e-mails in the same way as if someone wrote me a letter].



With regard to the CD Rom it is for sale at Ulster Historical Foundation bookshop but perhaps postage is prohibitive with regard to the cost??

Could someone let me know how much the CD Rom costs to purchase in USA from the Ulster Historical Foundation when you go to the basket, including postage. I would appreciate that, please and then I could discuss this with Billy Macafee.



[With regard to the recession, it has impacted yes I have noticed as I have one brother-in-law who has lost a job and having problems paying his mortgage and another brother-in-law down to 2 days per week so there is a lot of distress in all of this].



See Linda - I have responded to your post <grin> and I am always delighted to hear from you!!



Bobby



PS - here is my private e-mail for future reference!

> The biggest problem is there is no way to buy it in America. Perhaps you haven't noticed there in Northern Ireland, but there's a recession on. Even more than before, postage costs a lot. Generally speaking people don't eagerly buy things overseas -- it's much harder to sue people (for one thing). That's why Eneclann has an American distributor of its CDs.

> So work out a deal with www.ulsterheritage.com to sell the CD or use Amazon or some other mechanism to distribute it. Then you'll sell some CDs in something faster than a trickle.

> A key feature of the CD is the inclusion of databases containing names and places within the county covering the years 1622 to 1859. These are available in both Excel and PDF formats. These include the standard census substitutes – the 1630 Muster Rolls, the 1663 Hearth Money Rolls, the 1740 Protestant Householders’ Returns, the 1766 Religious Census and the 1796 Flaxgrowers’ List. Two important databases on the CD are the 1831 Census Returns [unique to the county] which list virtually all heads of households within the county at that time and the 1858/59 Griffith’s [Tenement] Valuation which lists the occupiers of houses and holdings in the county at that time.
>
> As well as databases containing lists of names and places there are a number of databases relating to sources and administrative divisions within the county. Another database which should prove useful when looking for estate records is Landlords of Individual Townland in the County, c.1859 and 1600s.
