Research in County Roscommon is very very expensive. I suggest you don’t pay for Irish research until you understand how the system operates.

Another web site for searching for Ancestors

Hi John, Have you ever been on this web site.......

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsea ... html#start

I was able to find around 40 of my ancestors on it in the past few months.
I found it easier to work through than the usual "Family Search " web site.

And it is Totally FREE to use. Which is a bonus.

Regards
