Roman Catholic Parish Records
List of Roman Catholic Parish Records available for Roscommon
This is a list of as many names and variations of names for each of the Roscommon Roman Catholic Parishes with a list of ‘approximate’ dates that records are available for. Sometimes there is a year, or a few years difference between the period of baptisms being recorded and the period of marriages. The word approximate has been used because there may be gaps between the years given in this group but you will see the differences if you go to the National Library of Ireland web site and ‘read’ through the records yourself.
These Catholic parish registers can be viewed online at the National Library of Ireland web site and this is the link to the search page which will bring you to the records. Please note whenever I search for a particular parish and then wish to be brought to those parish records I am told “The information you have entered on this page will be sent over an insecure connection and could be read by a third party.” This happens all the time and I just proceed to research the parish I am interested in.
Three or four of the parishes listed in this table are actually parishes which belong to Counties Galway, Mayo and Sligo but which spread over the border into Co. Roscommon.
