Westmeath Genealogy, the family history centre based at Dún na Sí Heritage Centre near Moate, has added more than 16,000 records to their database at www.rootsireland.ie/westmeath.
They include nearly 700 bmd register entries that were 'missed' in earlier transcription projects; anyone who has previously searched these databases without success would be advised to revisit the collection to see if their ancestors have been 'found'.
Here's a summary of the new additions:
- Headstone transcriptions from seven burial grounds (nearly 4,000)
- Baptisms, St Mary’s Athlone RC (249 previously missed)
- Marriages, Mayne RC, part of Coole parish (249 previously missed)
- Deaths, Mullingar RC (190 previously missed. 1844-1866)
- Castlepollard Parish, Baptisms (9,176); Marriages (321); Deaths (2,596)
