Familia: Ulster Genealogical Review is the journal of Ulster Historical Foundation's membership association (an historical research co-operative, known as the Ulster Genealogical and Historical Guild). Each year, in December, members receive Familia and a directory of their research interests, entitled Directory of Irish Family History Research. Non-members can purchase copies of these books. Since 1985, Familia has set a consistently high standard of balanced articles of wider historical and biographical importance, and providing all-important practical advice on sources for Irish family and local history in the nine-county province of Ulster. This issue of Familia contains the following articles: ‘May the Lord in His Mercy be Kind to Belfast’: Thomas Ekenhead's city c.1790-1832 (Richard Reid) Divided loyalties in the business community in Belfast in 1798 (George Chambers) The Scottish and Irish background of the Rev. Hugh Conn of the colonial clergy of Maryland (W. Clarke Conn) Saldanha and the elusive Ulster ancestor (Ian McKeane) Serendipity and the Cracked Griddle: an account of research on the McClure family (Robert David McClure) The Caldwells of Quebec (John Cunningham)
