Hi Jan, I was thinking the same thing.! Not all are in the Shannon some are in the canal. These are the years in case you haven't seen this. VOL 1 Years 1690 to 1799 2 Years 1800 to 1849 3 Years 1850 to 1884 4 Years 1885 to 1899 The towns I have finished are Roscommon, Ballinasloe and I am still working on Athlone. I will be doing Ballymahon, Ballymore and maybe some more depending if there is any interest. I will tackle these after I do the looks up I have for the posting I have finished. If you have missed some of the extracts you can use the archives to read them by typing in newspaper extract : However not all appear to be there yet. http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl or you can type in the name you want, eg KELLY. But I warn you some of the handwriting (I) extracted might be a little different than what it should be. I have offered to look up any entry you find interesting. I will need the town volume # then page entry.
