Pat Well done! I see you are still trying to 'Educate'!! Janet

What a great looking site, thank you. Not quite sure wher to start on it yet but look's good. Marion

BIG THANK YOU to all of you who have contributed to this thread, I have saved all your information as I'm about to embark upon my search for my Irish branch - have been avoiding it somewhat, due to not knowing where the heck to start!!!!! I've got something to encourage me now. Thanks!

nudge - thanks

FERBANE Co. Offaly I have 1901 and 1911 census unfortunately only for the above area will gladly check if it will help anybody

Thanks to all trying to help. My lot are from Kerry, and I haven't moved on their line at all!!! I've checked the websites and realised I'd seen them before but they now have a lot more info on them, so they are hopefully growing all the time. One day...you never know...I might strike it lucky. Sylvia

Sylvia just to say to you some of the Province of Ulster is in the South of Ireland i.e. the Republic of Ireland (Eire) while some of Ulster is in the North of Ireland ie Northern Ireland. Hope this list helps anyone with a query of the Counties and the Provinces they are in both North and South Of The Island of Ireland. The Provinces and their Counties in English and Irish are as follows :- Counties in the province of Connaught (West of Ireland) Galway Gaillimh Leitrim Liatroim Mayo Maigh Eo Roscommon Ros Comán Sligo Sligeach Counties in the province of Leinster (East of Ireland) Carlow Ceatharlach Dublin Baile Átha Cliath Kildare Cill Dara Kilkenny Cill Chainnigh Laois Laois Longford Longfort Louth Lú Meath Mí Offaly Ua Fáilghe Westmeath Iarmhí Wexford Loch Garman Wicklow Cill Mhantáin Counties in the province of Munster (South of Ireland) Clare Clár Cork Corcaigh Kerry Ciarraí Limerick Luimneach Tipperary Tiobraid Arainn Waterford Port Lairge Counties in the province of Ulster (North) Republic part Cavan Cabhán Donegal Dún na nGall Monaghan Muineacháin Counties in the province of Ulster the Northern Ireland part (North of Ireland) Antrim Aontroim Armagh Árd Mhacha Down Dún Fermanagh Fir Manach Londonderry Doire Tyrone On some census and certs the place names of Queens County and Kings County appear these were renamed and are known as County Laios (pronounced Leash), also spelt Laoighis in the province of Leinster. Kings County is County Offaly (in Irish Contae Uíbh Fhailí) is also in Leinster. Kingstown is now Dunlaoghaire (pronounced like its old name DunLeary) and Queenstown is now Cobh (pronounced Cove) County Cork, known for being the last Port of call for the tragic Titanic & also known for it's memorial to the victims of the Lusitania which sank only 10 miles off the Irish Coast in 1915. Good luck to all seeking Irish rellies. I Couldn't sleep so just thought I would add this info for people who may find it helpful. Pat x

Thank you for details. Many thanks Irene

nudge so I don't lose it (0r - rather - so that 'they' can, hopefully, be found!) Rosi.

Thank you all for adding these sites.... a few more to add to my list! Anything new is always a help for those trying to find their Irish connections..everything is so 'patchy' in the Irish records that are available. You HAVE to check them all out...just in case! Thanks again.......Teresa

Germaine Another one for you... Some people have listed the certs they have already got. Only selected counties however you never know when you might get lucky. http://www(.)cmcrp(.)net/index(.)php With kind regards Karen (Hopelessly trying to find both sets of irish ancestors!)

This looks a great site will keep this for later. Going to look at the Southern one now. Thanks Karen and Suzanne Germaine x
