Hi Sharon, I just tried and had no luck. Maybe they have the site down so they can add a huge amount of new information (keeping my fingers crossed).

There are many Leitrim townlands in many counties in Ireland. There are several in County Down. They're in the Civil Parishes of Clonduff, Kilkeel and Drumgooland. You could look at the following County Down websites to see if there's any detail that might help: http://www.raymondscountydownwebsite.com/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rosdavies/ http://www.caora.net/ It would be really helpful to you in your research if you could get the names and dates of birth of the people you're trying to research on this side as well as their parents names from the census, civil and church records wherever they emigrated. Otherwise you might be researching O'Preys who have no connection to your ancestors. There wouldn't just be one family with that surname There are no census records in Ireland for the 1800s and no civil registration before 1864. For anyone born before 1864, you'd need their religious denomination to find the church register with their baptismal info. Regards. Eilís O'Hara

My g.grandfather David was born in 1855 and died in 1935. In his obituary it is stated that his forebears came from Leitrim, this is all I have to go on at this present time.

No census records records for the 1800s. No O'Preys listed in the 1901 Leitrim census.

If your grandmother isn't in the 1901 Leitrim census then you should look for her in the US 1900 census. She may have already emigrated by that time. Otherwise, you need to know specifically where she was living in Ireland in 1901 to look at the census microfilms for that location to find her. The 1901 and 1911 Irish census records haven't as yet been officially computerised or put online. Leitrim and a few other counties are online because a group of volunteers have taken the information from the microfilms and put it online. You should also look for her ships record in the Ellis Island NY database. There aren't any census records in Ireland before 1901 so you'd need to find any family information in the Irish civil registrations microfilms. Irish civil records aren't computerised or online.

There is an interesting article in the Boston Globe today, August 29, 2006. The full article can be found at: http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2006/08/29/online_map_archive_an_irish_genealogists_pot_of_gold/ It begins with: Online map archive: An Irish genealogist's pot of gold By Raja Mishra, Globe Staff | August 29, 2006 Ireland's past will come to life tomorrow when the Irish government plans to unveil an online map archive with details of every town, street, and farm on the Emerald Isle dating back nearly 200 years -- an unprecedented achievement expected to be a treasure trove for those tracing their Irish ancestry. For 5 euros a day, roughly $6.40, computer users can access visual images of more than 30,000 maps of Irish localities dating back to 1824, a database cobbled together from the vast archival holdings of the government and universities in Ireland. Users can search the database by zooming in on maps, or using key terms, to pinpoint where their relatives once lived, eliminating often fruitless searches in Ireland's aging paper archives, which are spread out among several facilities and often consume time that could be spent visiting ancestral hometowns. The article also notes: The first public demonstration of the project will occur at a reception tomorrow evening in downtown Boston at the outset of a four-day genealogy conference. Free demonstrations will occur at the Hynes Veterans Convention Center during the run of the conference, which ends Saturday. The survey team painstakingly scanned the maps, most of them in storage at Trinity College, the National Library of Ireland, and the Royal Irish Academy, all in Dublin. The maps span two eras, from 1824 to 1847, and from 1888 to 1913.
