Do you have ancestors who originated in the counties of Ulster? In this episode we interview Janet Hancock who is the Deputy Head of Public Services at PRONI (The Public Records Office of Northern Ireland). We chat about:

  • Janet's role at PRONI and her own background.
  • How and why was PRONI set up?
  • How useful is PRONI online to family history researchers?
  • What sorts of resources can be found at PRONI?
  • Surprising things you will find at PRONI.
  • Plans for PRONI for the future.

Many thanks to Janet for her time and insight - and also to Jayne McGarvey for setting it up.

Enjoy! Mike.
