Thanks Hallmark, I was using Glengesh or Donegal..I don't really understand the district thing. I keep reading different websites about them, but I keep getting mixed up. So Glenties is the civil reg. district for Donegal then?  I'm going to write that down and start a list. Thanks again, much appreciated.  :D I'll go back and try that. have a good day!

Registry Districts are reasonably far apart.

Each District them had what are called Dispensaries....


But to search you just need the Districts in the site already posted.

http://www.swilson.info/regdistmap.php   will explain.... the just use the Dropbox on left and choose Donegal.

You see some that are in 2 or 3 counties depending on catchment area!

Thanks Hallmark for your help.

I want to thank all of you for all the help u gave me to find info on my Elliott relatives. With your help I found all kinds of documents and even my great grather's brother that moved to the US that I had been looking for for years but I wasn't able to find him in Ireland. I don't know why he moved to Philadelphia, USA and others moved to Canada, but I'm glad I was able to find him! I would of checked in sooner, but I lost my bookmark. LOL  Now I'm off to see if I can find relatives from Scotland. :-)
