:Main library in Belfast containing many genealogical records for the area including County Antrim. The Linen Hall has fantastic resources to support genealogy and the study of family histories attracting researchers locally and from around the world. From ‘how to’ guides for those beginning their genealogy journey, to gravestone inscriptions, military lists, passenger lists, lists of clergy, and information on surnames, place-names and street directories. Unique to the Linen Hall, the Blackwood Pedigrees of handwritten family trees and the Belfast News Letter Birth, Death and Marriage Index 1737-1863 are fascinating resources which bring family history to life.<ref>"Irish and Local Studies", at Linen Hall, https://www.linenhall.com/collections/irish-local-studies/, accessed 30 March 2023.</ref> | |||
