Scots’ Presbyterian Church, Gortin, Lower Badoney Parish, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland Marriages 1844-1935 <https://www.cotyroneireland.com/churchrecord/scots.html> Thanks again to Len Swindley for another great addition to CTI! Jim McKane Kitchener, Ontario

Hi Jim, I must thank you guys - Len, Elwyn and others - for putting so much info into COTY. I have found it useful in tracing names and confirming stuff from other sources. Cross-checking being so important. I can now verify my father's ancestors back to the beginning of the 19thC in Co. Tyrone and my mother's back to the late 18thC in Co. Londonderry. Very many thanks for your efforts. How do you find the time? My wife's line however, goes back, via the Isle of Anglesey, Wales to William the Conqueror and even earlier to before the 8thC. (I gave up at that stage!) It's so interesting to discover why family members moved, or didn't, and what their lives were like then. Their jobs, living conditions, religious and other affiliations. Fascinating. The Diaspora of our families now spans the globe. Some were pioneers in the West and East Hemispheres. The history of their times make for interesting reading and fleshes out the family story. The picture it paints gives one a clearer perspective of today's problems and what we find difficult, hard or unjust. So chastening! For information, I have almost 9000 names in the db and more yet to enter, thanks to the support of others in the extended family. These I have written up in an illustrated family history as a web site, not on the internet but private (to protect the innocent ;), with cross-links and supplementary data. This allows for easy updating and correction. The printed book runs to around 1500 pages. Keep it up!

Thanks for the accolades, Gordon; however, I must admit I am only your humble webmaster! Len Swindley is the Master Content Creator who must work almost day and night to decipher the old documents and films which are normally extremely difficult to read. One thing every CTI user/supporter could do is to post links to CTI pages on their social media. The more users we have, the more chances we have of helping each other! We wish you and all CTI supporters continued successes.
