: Have you come across any LDS film records of the parish of Elphin, Co. Rosc.? If so I would greatly appreciate having the film numbers. I've been trying to track down the birth of my ggrandmother in Elphin for ages and cant seem to find her. Sioban.<p>I currently have on loan Elphin Parish records of births from 1851 to 1881 MicroFilm # 989738 is mostly covers the Ballinameen Area. Its not indexed. When I finish that I'll look for others.
<br>: : : LDS FILM 1279224 covers BDM's for the parish of Mohill, Gortletteragh, Keadue, Bornacoola and Aughavas all in the Docese of Ardagh & Clonmacnois.<p>: : Thank you for posting the LDS film number for birth, death and marriage records for the parishes in and about Mohill. Yesterday, after having been told repeatedly over the years that no record of her birth or baptism could be located, I succeeded in finding on this film the entry for the 1871 baptism of my grandmother, Mary Jane Beirne. There were a few reasons why my inquiries had produced no results: the baptism was three years before the date of birth which she claimed; the surname (Beirne--it was her maiden and married name) was misspelled (Berine) in the record; and, although Bornacoola is in Longford, 19th Century records were kept in Leitrim. Without the film number, I wouldn't have been able to search page by page from the U.S. to find the entry. <p>: : Would you have any idea whether the BDM records for the Catholic parishes of Kilglass and Rooskey in Roscommon are on an LDS film? Efforts to locate any birth or baptismal record (ca. 1872) for my grandfather, Patrick Beirne, have been unsuccessful. <p>: Could find no records for Kilglass Parish but found Census for 1901 for Kilglass 0851579 item 1-3 & 0851581 item 2. Hope this helps. Could not locate a parish of Rooskey but found a townland called Roosky in the Parish of Castlereagh and one in the Parish of Strokestown and another Rooskagh in the Parish of Athlone, Co Roscommon. This will give you something to think about!!!<p>
