Repository Loan Fund Records 1847 - 1851???

[JimReynolds]

Recently, I found a free database that provided a number of leads for my ancestors from Roscommon. The site is connected with the National Archives.

There are records online for the fund containing names and relationships. Loans were issued to individuals and each loan had one or more sureties. The records allowed me to confirm the townland and other information. Just understanding who received the loan and who acted as surety allowed me to confirm some relationships.

You can do searches for people or place names against the "Catalogue of Digitised Records". Use the sub-records for the best results. Do your search and then select "Irish"
