Transcriber’s Note:
“Spellings shown are those that appear on the record pages,
every part of which is in cursive handwriting. Some letters of the
alphabet were written in a unique, stylized way. It is apparent
that, although there was one priest assigned to this parish at any
one time, often more than one person was writing a month's records
and different spellings appear for the same surname. That is left
as is, except for a spelling of McInerney using a "j"
that could be confusing. Also, the parish priest changed his spelling
of place names as time went by, he used single letters to stand
in for an entire name, and he started to show informal personal
names (i.e., nicknames). Fatigue causes mistakes, and these records
were created for church purposes with no expectation the public
would make use of them.
The 'A to Ce' section contains surnames which are
missing their first letter/s - represented there by dashes - and
the 'S to Y' section contains illegible or missing surnames under
'Unknown'"
