If you want to know more about civil registration in Ireland then please go to. http://www.from-ireland.net/gene/civilregistration.htm If you see any references in this mail of interest to you, then you can obtain photocopies of any of these references yourself. Please go to this URL and I have the information there. http://www.from-ireland.net/extrs/howtouse.htm Some of the districts listed here such as Carlow cover parts of Co. Carlow and parts of Co. Laois. In order to find out the townlands in Co. Laois are covered by the Carlow registration district or any other listed here then please go to the Sean Ruad Irel Atlas web site http://www.seanruad.com and do a search for the District name in the Poor Law Union search box, put in Co. Laois as the county and a list of all the townlands in that Poor Law Union that are part of Co. Laois will be returned to you. Jane I have broken up the first two entries here.
