Cara, Cyril and all, I'm from Chicago. I ordered Wexford RC parish records (New Ross) from LDS. They said those records are restricted and would not let me look at them. So my only hope was to use Yola (I resisted for years, hearing negative comments). I sent a request for a baptismal record to Yola and got it in 6 weeks. Last week I sent more money to request a look up on the rest of the family. I sure hope I don't have to wait years for an answer on my second request! There are no other sources for parish records, are there? Beth McBride

The Records for New Ross are available Beth, on films numbered 4259-4260 at the NLI in Dublin and in Wexford Library starting from Nov. 1789-1880 for Baptisms, Marriages from 1859-1880 and burial records from May 1749--1814 and again from 1822-1859. They were probably saying the originals were not available because of their condition. Yola has the records from 1789-1900 for Baptisms, Marriages from 1817-1900 but no Burials but of course you have to pay them to do look-ups. Of course their fees are PER INDIVIDUAL... I wish you luck with them. (I'm sure the list would love to know how you go on)... slan Cyril Newsome Loch Garman ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 8:56 PM Subject: [WEX] Yola, you are scaring me....... > Cara, Cyril and all, > I'm from Chicago.
