Thank you, Marilyn. Do you have to arrange an appointment with the genealogist at the National Archives? I know of no Protestant relatives after 1800, but one never knows.

They have a genealogist on staff that will meet with you and give advice. We found it quite helpful. We also visited the National Library where we got into some estate records and also some newspapers. You'll need a readers ticket for each place and you can get them on arrival. Remember to bring your passport for identification. Another place, if you have Protestant ancestors, is the Representative Church Body of the Church of Ireland - Church of Ireland House, Church Avenue, Rathmines, Dublin 6. They have many parish registers.

Check out this web page for a bit more info, holdings, fees and an address. They are relocating this month, so by the time you get there in March, the dust should have settled. http://www.groireland.ie/ Joann Taylor ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-CARLOW-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-CARLOW-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-CARLOW-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Here is a link about the genealogy service at the National Archives http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-service/ It seemed to operate on a "first come first served basis". We were there early and didn't have to wait but there was a line up after us. Another tip - the National Library has a really nice lunch room.
