Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone has the B.I.V.R.I version 2 and is it worth buying if you have rellies in ireland? Danny

It's very touch and go, whether the person you're looking for is on the BVRI. The last look-up I did for someone in Ireland was a failure, the one before was a success. You just have to be lucky. Any names you'd like me to look for? Margaret

I guess you're not one of the lucky ones, Danny, neither marriage is on the discs. I checked all of Ireland, not just Antrim. Margaret

The earliest one in Antrim is William Wilson, born 3 May1865 at 161 Galgorm, Antrim. Parents William Wilson & Margaret Nimmo. There are 2 in 1866 and quite a lot in 1867. Can't find any children born to William Wilson & Ann Rice, most of them have mother's maiden name but no Rice. Margaret
