I have added the following civil parish tithe applotments to the County Galway section of my website: Kilgerrill, Aughrim, Killimore and Killalaghton. They were all packed together on the film. Please read my transcription notes to see what problems I encountered. Also added to the Galway section of my website are townland maps for the civil parishes of Beagh and Killalaghton. The maps had many differences from the 1851 Townland Index, as far as what townlands are in the what parishes. Again, read my notes where I point out the differences.

Below is the reply from familysearch.org about the problems I have been experiencing on the Civil Registration Indexes database.(Record Search Pilot) At the moment, when entering Galway as the location, only results from 2 of the 12 County PLUs are being returned. Similarly, only 2 of the Kilkenny PLUs. I haven't checked out all the counties. Hopefully, things will be back to normal soon. I get the impression that they intend incorporating the Indexes into other databases, rather than have them stand alone as they are at the moment. I notice, for example, that MARRIAGE is now listed as RESIDENCE.

I thought only the list administrator was to initiate a roll call, and he or she does so by starting a new link entitled Roll Call and reminding people of the rules. Diane
