Moved the local surname index language to this section
(Added language describing the surname indexes for places within each county and added language so that I can add a table to the links for each county for these indexes at the library.) |

Some surname indexes are available online, particularly for the 1901 and 1911 censuses. See 'Census Finder' listed above, and also see the National Archives of Ireland web page for [http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy/censusrtns.html census returns]. | Some surname indexes are available online, particularly for the 1901 and 1911 censuses.

Sometimes, you may not find your ancestor in these large country wide indexes. Perhaps, a mistake was made when these large indexes were made, or a person's name was not easy to recognize in the census enumeration book, or the surname was spelled differently. In such a situation, you may be able to find your ancestor in the census by using a smaller surname index for the parish or town of interest. When looking at a smaller index, it can also be easier to pick out an alternative spelling of a person's surname. These indexes are also ideal for finding all of the people with a specific surname in a specific location. See the instructions below under 'Finding Indexes' for a table containing links to the surname indexes for local places that are available at the Family History Library.<br> | |||
