Ann Marie, How nice of you to do this.?? It most probably is better if you send the info directly to me at coeescrow@aol.com. I really appreciate the time that you've taken to do this. Take care, Susan Mulledy -----Original Message----- From: Ann Marie rogers <rogers147@videotron.ca> To: irl-longford@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 6 Apr 2008 8:39 am Subject: Re: [IRL-LONGFORD] Online research/Longford Records Susan, I did find some Skelly, Mulledy on the Longford film - not finished, but can send what I have - do you want it sent to the list or your personal address?

Skelly, Mullady, Mulledy, Mulleady.? If so I'll most probably just go down to LDS and take a further look. Thanks for the offer.

It is film LDS 1279221 - Parochial registers of Strule (1820-19030 - Newtowncashel,91830-1947) Drumlish,(1834-1889) Killoe,(1826-1917) Legan & Ballcloghan,(1855-1905) and List of students St. Mels College (1859-1981). This is Longford. My family is the Flynn & McNamee from Drumlish - Killoe who went to Glasgow abt. 1847. Will be happy to look up your family if they are in these places - have not look at the film, but I have it for three more weeks. If many are looking for family, I can keep it for a longer period - or keep it permanently in the local library.

I have personally ordered some of the films for County Longford from LDS. The handwriting is minute and looks as though the person writing may have had a broken hand as well. Not meaning to be sarcastic, they are almost impossible to read. I don't mind spending the time, but there is not a lot to be done if it is illegible. The information on line is expensive, but since I live in North Carolina in the States, it works for me. I think that after I have gotten as much as I can I will again order the films and see if it helps. I agree it is not perfect, but it is one more step in the path of our research. Does anyone know how to get copies of the films that have larger print?
