RootsIreland has added some 30,000 records from the county to its database. The new additions have been transcribed by the Roche House Trust, one of the Irish Family History Foundation's island-wide network of local genealogy and heritage centres.
The bundle is made up of transcriptions from Roman Catholic baptism and marriage registers from 13 parishes across the county, census records and census substitutes, as follows:
Roman Catholic baptisms and marriages:
- Transcriptions of registers (baptisms mostly from 1901, marriages mostly from 1911, and all running to 1920) from the parishes of Aghaviller, Callan, Dunnamaggin, Freshford, Galmoy, Johnstown, Mullinavat, Paulstown, Thomastown, Tullaherin, Urlingford, Windgap and Thomastown Workhouse. These records are exclusive to RootsIreland.
