>In my research pursuits I went to the library in Killarney which has the >Griffiths Valuation, Tithe Applottment, etc but no real parish records with >individual names and dates. All of those are either online or at the LDS family >library so I didn't waste much time there. AKAIK the only repository of catholic parish records are National Library in Dublin who have microfilms of records up to 1880. Some parish records were transcribed onto 'O'Kief, Cosh Mange' collection in Tralee library but only specific parishes (not all of Kerry) >There is a Records Office in Killarney. It is located on the grounds of St >Columbanus Home (Nursing home) which is on Rock Street just after turning >off N22. You must have all your names and dates and towns and villages so they >can find the records and give you a certificate of the birth, death or >marriage. It's not a research center but a place to get a documented record of an >event like birth, etc. but the women told me that they were all backed up >and I could leave a request and it would be several weeks before I'd have my >information. The cost is at least 20E but may be more. These are official Deaths, births and marriage records and above is local kerry office of the Registrar General's Office http://www.gro.ie/ All Births,Deaths and Marriages from 1845 for Protestants and from 1864 for all the population were officially registered by the state. >I was disappointed that I couldn't find more in Killarney but I went to the >library in Tralee and was quite surprised by what I found. My areas of >interest are Currow and Knocknagoshel. ___________________________________________________________ Get an email address for life with Yahoo!
