Yes, thanks to those who read and transcribe all these old records with the faded, hard to read handwriting! Were you able to scan records to assist you in your endeavors? I would think that including the Sponsors is of benefit also, since they were often relatives. Sometimes this has helped me in doing my own research, sometimes it creates another question. I still have some of those sponsor mysteries to solve. Maybe someday I will figure them out. Great work!

I advised Alan not to include  the Sponsors, as I thought it would be too much work for him,  but I can see that he has done so, this greatly enriches the content for researchers. This work is all the more important at present as the original Registers are no longer available for viewing by researchers. Thank you Alan and Michael and Also Thanks to Cara in Tasmania for typing up the Rathvilly registers. There may yet be some more copies of Registers uncovered in the PPP, if so,  I know  we will have a willing and obliging bunch of volunteers on this Carlow site, mick. ======================================= Before you post a message to the IRL-CARLOW mailing list you must subscribe to the List.
