T.he two I am about to start perusing date from : Baptisms 1838-1883--1905-1948 Marriages 1824-1982 The LDS Film No is: 1279260 The other film is: Marriages 1824-1902 Baptisms 1838-1883. The LDS Film No for this film is: 1279211 Both of these films are of course RC. From memory I think the name of the RC Parish is: Tuam, Good Luck John McCarthy My Mayo interests : Daniel Riley of Castlebar and his wife Anne nee Murray C: 1800 On 07/08/2008, at 8:49 AM, Katie Crow wrote: > Thank you so much!
