My name is Heather Steele and I live in Bangor
with my husband Paul. Our son Michael is
a Queen's Scholar, currently studying
Creative Arts at Queen's University, Belfast.
I started working on North Down Roots in 2016,
when my job as a constituency office manager
for a member of the Northern Ireland Assembly,
was coming to an end after over eight years.
The next year was spent researching and
designing the website and it was eventually
launched in July 2017.
North Down Roots has a collection of free online
genealogy resources that can immediately be
used to start researching your family history
in North Down.
It also includes a large assortment of links,
including stories, maps, pictures and videos,
that are all of local historical interest.
If you have enjoyed digging up your
North Down Roots, you can also visit the
accompanying facebook and twitter pages,
or the donation page to support
North Down Roots to grow!
