    I'm not sure if this is the right forum but I'm looking to search my family tree as far back as I can.
    I have the name of my Great-Grandfather and I've found his name on the 1911 Census available on the following link:http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/ ,

    I now know the names of his parents and his two older siblings,what I need help with is finding previous census records to trace his parents origin.I can't seem to find them online anywhere.

    Can anyone help,I have contacted LeitrimRoots.com but they chagre 5euro per record and they dont have let you view the record before you purchase,so you could be purchasing a record for someone with the same name as your relative that lived in a different part of the county.
    I also contact the Leitrim Genagolgy Centre but they are also very expensive.

    If you are still looking try this web site ... I have found a lot of my relatives on it.
