Kildavnet Freeholders List
<p>A unique Census Substitute for the townland of Carrickkildavnet aka Kildavnet in 1829. This Freeholders List can provide useful information about those who held enough land to register to vote. While the smaller tenant farmers who suffered most during the Great Famine won't appear on this list, there may be a few surprises included here (that didn't appear on Tithe applotment records). These could be partners on a freehold lease. Can you find your ancestor's name below?</p>

Kilconierin Folklore
<p>Continuing our series on the sources of information available to local history researchers, in this newsletter we are highlighting the information which can be garnered from the local folklore commission (including the Schools’ Collection available at <a href="http://duchas.ie/en/cbes/GA">http://duchas.ie/en/cbes/GA</a>) and the considerations when utilising same. Here, we use the folklore of modern Kilconierin - the civil parishes of Kilconierin, Lickerrig (Carrabane) and Kilconickny (Clostoken) in the archive of the Department of Irish Folklore as the study area.</p>
