Thank you so much for listing these new additions for Donegal. I haven't as yet looked at the Turnkey Report but I've had amazing success with the Grand Jury documents, I am bowled-over by the information I've discovered. This has enabled me to pinpoint to within a few months, the date of death for my gt-gt-gt-grandfather; as the Grand Jury passed his payment due for mending a road over to his son because the former had died "Between the Summer assizes 1850 and the Spring assizes 1851".
There is lots of information on two branches of my family in these records, both sides having "road contractors" among them.
Thanks again for these fantastic records.
