WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Have you ever wanted to research your family tree? With more and more people wanting to research their genealogy, our online grave records will be a massive asset for family researchers. Everyone will be able to find burial records at the click of a button and open up a new opportunity for family researchers worldwide. What is a costly and time consuming search, will soon be available to be completed on line. Wesley Bonar, Museums and Heritage Officer, commented: “The Council area is steeped in history and it is great that the records of our past will be available online. For some, this could be the breakthrough that they have been looking for, to open up much more information about their family tree. Through the power of the internet, what was before a mass of information accessible to only a few people, will be open to everyone.”

DISABILITY ACTION PLAN We have been working on preparing a new Disability Action Plan (DAP) to set out how we can make a real difference to those with disabilities. We are consulting now to see how we can improve access to services and promote opportunities. The Council has a responsibility to promote positive attitudes towards disabled people and to encourage disabled people to participate in public life. This comes under Section 49a of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (as amended by the Disability Discrimination (Northern Ireland) Order 2006. You can find the DAP by visiting www.antrimandnewtownabbey.gov.uk/DAP and paper copies will be made available on request. To encourage as many of you as possible to make comments on the draft DAP, we can arrange meetings on request at venues and times to suit your needs. The DAP is available on request in accessible formats such as Braille, audio formats and large print. Information will also be provided in minority languages to meet the needs of those who are not fluent in English.
