Re: Location of Street and Town

Hi Calum I see Lesley is going well with links to pictures and other areas for you. My interest in your post is in the possiblity it might turn out to be Ballycastle ... I have never been there but my dad's family came from round that part of northern Ireland. Are you searching for ancestors in that...
