Some of the lists found on my County Louth web site are quite obscure, but give an indication of the alternative sources - those all-important census substitutes - often required in researching family history.   There are over two hundred pages of information (containing in excess of  92,000 County Louth-related names) to be found here, so you may prefer to use the Site Map link when browsing.   For your further convenience, there is a commercial search engine for this web site at the bottom of this page.   Please note that the content of this site is the copyright of the webmaster (that's me!). It is important that you read the COPYRIGHT NOTICE below.   ***UPDATED *** Over 3,000 names have been added to the Index to Louth Tombstone Inscriptions to include the cemeteries of Dromin, Darver and Mosstown. (28/05/2012)   ***UPDATED *** 1914-1918 The Returned Army: County Louth Servicemen in the Great War by Donal Hall. This is an ongoing list, now with some 1,600 names,  which complements my brother's book on County Louth war dead. The list has been updated with the names of 60 men from the Australian Forces, all with County Louth connections. This valuable military source for County Louth Family History can be accessed HERE (01/10/2012)
