Two lists records held by the National Archives are: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/cavaneduc.html http://www.nationalarchives.ie/cavanpriv.html Only Corlatty Carroll is old enough to really get my attention but I don't know where it is. A coule of years ago, local historian named Kevin Sweeney had a subscription site on the net dealing with County Cavan. Therein he described research he did using school records held by the school itself. I think it was Ballynarry and the records were circa 1830. Unfortunately his site soon disappeared without warning and I have been unable to contact him since. He still has school articles on the net; e.g. http://www.iol.ie/~kevins/geneo/national_schools.html Issue 6, 'The Cavan Genealogist' http://ireland.iol.ie/~kevins/geneo/index_geneo.html Perhaps someone on this list has issue 6 and can lookup what it has to say about the existence of old school records. -- Cheers, Colin Ferguson
