Comment: What an excellent site! I came across it by chance, surfing into Londonderry. The layout, music, content, everything is a great credit. It was good to hear some "ancient" music such as Luther's along with traditional favourites. As a BB man enjoyed the "phoaties" as well. Well done Carlise Road Presbyterian. Will recommend your site. I am a Presbyterian too by the way.

Comment: Excellent site. I see that you had a Revd John Huey back in the late 1800's, and it seems a connection with others of that family name. I am always interested to pursue connections. I am aware that my immediate family came from Co. Tyrone, but they also had connections into Londonderry, and Antrim.

Comment: Your site is an inspiration. I'm a member of Bloomfield Presbyterian Church in Belfast and volunteered sometime ago to build a site to add to the Web. A year later I've just finished and uploaded to the server.Then I saw your's! Who is this genius? Can he/she do a detachment duty to Bloomfield? It's warmer down here during the summer anyway. You can view my poor attempt at http://users.breathemail/bpc/bloomfield/ Maybe, on second thoughts, if there are Presbyterians of this calibre in Londonderr
