I am working on a spreadsheet matching up crossover names and parishes for Halifax nova Scotia and co of Wexford as I have found so many! I have a lot of Wexford records from researcher in dublin and ns and all these names and locations seem to be under this kilscoran parish. If someone could guide me to where I could access the un transcribed or even the transcribed records when I get there in august and who to contact I would be grateful. Henry healey said you do not have a volunteer in Wexford to help me but there is a genealogist I will post my spreadsheet here as I think I am on to something and can match up a lot of NS descendants with their Wexford ancestors but I really require some help thanks so much
Marianne Young archivist wexford union heritage office told me that butlerstown now comes under parish of Kilscoran but that the records only start as of 19th century and that all the above churches have records yet to be transcribed? Is there someone in your parish I could contact to get access to these records? Thanks
Note: I have just attached the initial data on my NS/WEXFORD surnames/parishes crossover spreadsheet as too many to ignore and may be able to connect many wexford descendants in nova Scotia to their irish roots for the first time and would so appreciate any and all assistance. I will upload the full spreadsheet when it is complete. Very exciting I am coming in septand hope to have some places to visit
