This publication is a CD ROM that contains a website which provides information on the sources that you would need to consult in order to trace your ancestors within the County of Londonderry. As well as providing the normal text information that you would find in a book it also contains searchable databases of names, case studies of families and localities drawn from various parts of the county, maps and explanations of the various administrative divisions within the county and links to key family history websites on the Internet. Whilst it cannot possibly contain specific information on all individual families within the county, it can be used to organise searches for members of any family living in the county, particularly during the period c.1860 to c.1920.

Some copies of the CD are available from the Ulster Historical Foundation Online Bookstore.
