fine stuff Turtle adds further insight to this troubled period, busy with Concerts at present but much of the background to this period may be sourced via google -- The Reign of Terror in Carlow.......there may be some lists published therein. Many such black-lists survive in the PPP, unfortunately they mainly consisted of names only but working from other papers ( Voter's Lists etc. ) it is sometimes possible to identify the area. I hope we get to post some of the lists in the future. On 14 September 2012 16:04, Turtle Bunbury <[email protected]> wrote: > Good question Maribeth but I'm afraid I have no idea ...
