The new Guestbook has been developed because on 6 Sep 2017 Rootsweb announced that they will be discontinuing their Guestbooks as of 13 Oct 2017. We have found this to be a valuable tool for our members, therefore, we kept the old entries. With the creation of our New Guestbook, we continue to offer this long-standing service.

This website is a great resource! I have been able to trace several of my ancestors back to Co. Tyrone. My evidence based records of those that emigrated to Victoria, Australia are from their adopted homeland and not Tyrone. If anyone has come across or has any information which can confirm these Australian records it would be greatly appreciated:
Robert ALEXANDER (Segully, Longfield East) b. ~1834, emigrated 1855 aboard the Victoria Regia. Parents John & Rebecca (TURNER).
Sarah BEATTY (Willmount, Longfield West) b. ~1838 emigrated with her Father 1856 aboard the Almora. Father Charles Beatty. Married Robert Alexander in Victoria 1857.
Alexander YOUNG (Edenafogry or Edenafogery, Donacavey) b. ~1834 Cannot find his emigration records however was married in Victoria in 1861. Parents: John YOUNG and Isabella (OSBORNE)
Thank You. Byron
