Some years ago while in County Longford I was fortunate the priest in Ardagh assisted with my search for my ancestors. We found the baptism records for 3 children in his books. I have noticed in the on line records for Ardagh there are 4 children listed. Is it possible this is an error as we both went through the church books with a fine toothcomb? Any suggestions appreciated. Shelby Gallagher ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi Shelby, I just returned recently from a stay in Ardagh. Fr Balfe is at St. Bridgets. I can atest that there are errors going from the index to the actual baptismal records. Whether this is a transcription error or an oversight on investigating the books one doesn't know unless it is collaborated. I'd contact Father Balfe and have him look up the one in question.
