There are some parish registers that appear only to be available at the RCL in Dublin and I am pretty sure information about my family will be on them.
I am looking for someone who has access to that library who would be willing to take on the searches for me. The parishes are;
Parish of Rosenallis, Dio of Kildare, 1801- My family would likely be from 1801-1840 or later
Parish of Coolbanagher, Dio of Kildare 1802-
Parish of Lea, Dio of Kildare 1801-
Parish of Clonaslee, Dio of Kildare 1814-
Parish of Mountmellick, Dio of Kiildare 1840-
I have extensive information including a long timeline that would be a help.
Thank you

Are you aware of what is online free??
Marriages 1845+ etc..
Wills etc...

Yes, I believe so. According to the RCL information, these parish records are only available on microfilm in their library. If this information is not correct I would appreciate updated information. I was just in Dublin but was unable to go to the RCL because of time constraints.
Thank you.

Welcome to Rootschat ;D
I don't know how long you will have to wait for someone to go to the library for this, but in the meantime, could you please post the family names and events that you are interested in.
If we know the names and someone is going on the off-chance, they will have the information to hand rather than posting another reply on this topic which may not get answered in time.
Also, the canny chatters here have a knack of finding information elsewhere so might have access to what you are looking for from a different source.

Yes, I believe so. According to the RCL information, these parish records are only available on microfilm in their library. If this information is not correct I would appreciate updated information. I was just in Dublin but was unable to go to the RCL because of time constraints.
Thank you.
Are you sure they cover the years you need??
-
Yes, it will cover a good part of the years I am looking for, hopefully, for at least some of these folks.
Wish I could send you the time line but think you have enough information with what has already been sent. There may be some marriages and deaths as well as some baptisms, at least I hope so.
Thank you
