GMBI 2 cover

This second edition contains an extra batch of Inishowen marriages found in the Derry Registry Office, as well as full colour photos of all the churches of Inishowen. I don’t expect people who have already purchased the first edition to rush out and buy this! However, if you wish to have that extra data please contact me by e-mail [email protected] and I will happily send you out those extra pages.
