I have gone over and over all your wonderful notes and have the following questions. Re: County Cavan (for me, specifically Lurgan). I have looked at the FHC records to order and found a book for the index of the 1821 census. Does anyone know what is in the book? Also, is the film for this only at the Cavan Library. I did not find any other films to order before our ancestors came to Canada in 1831. Where in Dublin should I go to do research for County Cavan? Thank you. Elaine

About the 1821 Census fragments - There are 122 titles in the Temple library in Utah covering all that's left of the 1821 Census for Ireland. However, the LDS church could only record what they had been given at filming time, I have no idea if there are any more pages available in Ireland. Use this link for locating FHC films to order : http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp Select KEYWORD SEARCH and enter these searchwords : 1821 Census Ireland you'll see all 122 titles. If you wish to cull the list down to Cavan county only, use 1821 Census Cavan as your searchwords which gets the list down to a more manageable 4 titles. One of these titles is "1821 Census" which is a series of 17 films. This film series is best used to find the information we've been talking about recently. Concerning Lurgan, there is a film in that series of 17 : Co. Cavan: Lavey, Lurgan, Mullagh, Munterconnaught FHL Film #597158 [FHL is Family History Library] Can't answer for Dublin resources, but any FHC can order these films to be viewed or photocopied. Take the film number with you, volunteers may not know where to look to find these Ireland film numbers. Takes about 3 weeks for a film to be ordered and get to me from Utah. I then have access to it for about 5 weeks. It can be kept longer by extending the rental period with another payment. If a film is ordered 3 times [continuously extended rental times] its kept permanently at this FHC. Such is not the case with all FHCs.
