APPEAL FOR
HISTORIC MATERIAL!
We are appealing to all Carlovians around the world who may
have old photographs, stories, old postcards or newspaper cuttings of Carlow
events and they would be willing to share
the information and images with fellow Carlovians through this website. I am particular interested in old Street scenes,
Buildings. Country and country scenes, County sporting events of the past are always
been asked for. School photos of of old schools and pupils. Old documents such as
letters, shop receipts and especially old newspaper cuttings.
Maybe you would like to write a page on a particular place or subject
about Carlow and about your your own experience of your life in Carlow?
Then please send me your work, and if suitable, I will have it
published on the Carlow IGP website. Everything that we put on the Carlow
website is credited to the author/person who submits the material.
If
you would like to join the many other contributors and help us
build a much bigger historical picture of Carlow's Past then
please contact me at the following email address
mjbrennan30@gmail.com with your details. I will advise
you on how to send your contributions.
There is also a FREE Mailing List that you can join
and discuss any difficulties you may be having in searching for
your ancestors from Carlow. You can also join in any of the
discussions we have on a regular basis about items related to
Carlow and it's past history.

additional text is required.
You can now view, in the comfort of your own home, some of the
very rare documents, photos and records of Carlow by visiting the
Home Page of this website and follow the links at your leisure.
The Carlow IGP website is a
totally free access, genealogy and history website. People who
are researching their Irish Ancestors can do so from the
comfort of their own
home (and a PC of course), and without fear of having to pay
extortionate fees to researchers who cannot guarantee results
but still take your money.
In 2000 I was asked to take on the task and
responsibility of looking after this website as it had become
slightly neglected and forgotten and it was proving very
difficult to find someone who had a knowledge of Carlow and at
the same time, was willing to give up some of their spare time to
develop and promote Carlow and its history. I was only too happy to take on the task as I had lived and
worked in Carlow for a number of years back in the 1960's. I
had also amassed a large amount of material over the years such
as old newspapers and books about Carlow which came in handy
when I was putting material together for the website not
forgetting the large amount of material that people have very
kindly donated to the project. To-day we are proud to announce
that there are over 14,032 items which includes pages,
documents and images of information on the website.
We are continually adding new material and we are always
looking for more people to contribute material they may
have that highlights the history of county Carlow.
I look forward to hearing from you all in due course.
