The easiest method for doing lookups on the NET is to gO to http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp enter the names and whatever info you have. Follow the instruction and help files pertaining to this site. If you find data of interest (copy down all the data listed or print the file out) go the Family History Center situated in Latter Day Saints Church (Mormon Church) in your town/city (if you have one) and ask them for assistance. They will show you how to order the microfilms for that name. They have most of the films available in Salt Lake UT. There are also many sites on the NET dealing with genealogy. Roots Web http://www.rootsweb.com/ Browse this site and join the mailing lists that you are interested in go to and see who else is looking for your surnames at: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/ Donegal http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~donegal/ Laois/Leix: http://www.rootsweb.com/~irllex/ There are all types of sites listing Surnames/data But start at Familysearch and Rootsweb and read the notes.

Thank you for any assistance. Robert Stewart ==== IRL-LAOIS Mailing List ==== To contact the listowner: Ninah@carolina.rr.com
