County Laois, or Laois in Irish, was once known as Queen's County. Located in the midlands of Ireland, it is home to the River Nore and the River Barrow which provide excellent angling. Our county town is Portlaoise and we have a population of approximately 80,559. We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.

Our aim is to connect all people with a link to Roscommon Town and its civil parish. You may live here, have visited here or maybe are tracing ancestors who left long ago. In any case, we’re sure to have lots to share and are delighted to welcome you. Ros Comáin (St. Coman's Woods) derives its name from Coman mac Faelchon who built a monastery here in the 5th century.
