Colleen, What I mainly had in mind was the holdings of public libraries in Leitrim. (However, I have not had occasion to look for records for the area north of Lough Allen, so that may be different.) When I went to the library at Carrick on Shannon to ask about the transcriptions of records (including cemetery inscriptions) for Southeast Leitrim done in the 1990's by FOS, I was directed to the public library in Ballinamore. For the pre-1864 period, these are an invaluable resource, since they include tithe applotments, and, in some cases voting lists. (The 1832 lists are especially interesting, because the suffrage had been extended by the Reform Act of 1831, which qualified leaseholders with much smaller land holdings to vote.) Another person who answered you about post-1864 records is correct; civil registration information is housed in Carrick on Shannon. Parish records--if they are have survived--are normally available for all Catholic parishes in the Diocese of Ardagh, which has proved extremely cooperative in such matters. The Diocese of Kilmore--which includes Northwest Leitrim--is another matter. However, truly the best source of records for time efficiency of genealogical research is still in Dublin. At the National Library you can look at records that the Genealogical Centre would charge for them to look up records for you in Ballinamore. The Library also has excellent viewing equipment. Good luck in your search.
