Hi, Elaine - I took the bus from Dublin to Cavan (Co. Cavan) three years ago while I was in Ireland on a genealogy trip. The scenery was beautiful, the people very friendly, it really gave me a flavor of the area -- and I would love to do it again! However, as a quest for genealogy records, you would do better to stay in Dublin - or go to Belfast. The librarian at the Cavan town library was exceedingly helpful and gracious, but they really don't have the records. He recommended my going to the Co. Cavan Heritage House where they had no records available for the public (I was told to write my query and pay for the research that THEY would do) although they did sell me a book of Cavan cemeteries...... I'm glad I took the trip just to see where my STEPHENSON ancestors came from - it's a lovely trip. Have a great time in Ireland!!!!

Elaine, I have to agree with Kat. We spent 3 days in Co Meath (right next door) but really found nothing. It was the 3 days in Dublin that was helpful. The County libraries really don't seem to keep much data. And the Meath Heritage Centre was the same as Cavan's..........you make a query, pay for it.......and they do the research. They don't allow you to look at the records. I would say Dublin will save you time. But ........... seeing the country is wonderful also.
