County Roscommon, or Ros Comáin in Irish, is located in the western region of Ireland. We are home to the stunning Lough Key Forest Park and statistically, we are known to have the longest life expectancy of any county in Ireland! We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.

Religious Census of Killukin, Creeve & Tumna
<p>In March 1766, the Irish House of Lords instructed Church of Ireland parish clergy to compile ‘a list of the several families in their parishes’ – to record the religion of the householders and to identify any Roman Catholic priests and friars living in their area. Although most of the original 1766 religious census returns were destroyed Dublin's Public Records Office fire of 1922, a few fragments survived.</p>

Griffith's Valuation of Strokestown Union
<p>The primary valuation of Ireland or Griffith's Valuation is a useful Census substitute for 19th-century Ireland. To confirm whether an ancestor could possibly be the individual listed, it is helpful to know the survey completion date for a parish (or the part of it that fell within the Poor Law Union surveyed).</p>

The Murder of Major Dennis Mahon 1847
<p>The events leading up to Mahon’s death epitomized much of what was wrong with pre-famine Ireland: the largely parasitical landlord class, the deep sectarianism that further divided rulers and ruled, and an underclass largely dependent on the potato and living on the margin of subsistence.</p>
