Over the last few years, people have begun putting video clips on websites such as You Tube, so, I've included links to clips which caught my eye as I searched for Laois. The YouTube links bring you to the video clip and you'll find other links to similar clips on those pages.
If anyone knows of a link that they feel could be included here, please let me know. Thanks!

Laois Genealogy Blog My Laois Blog. It's all over the place at the moment 'cos I didn't know anything about formating it when I began and I wasn't too sure about how to handle it. Now I have a book and I'll probably be deleting a good few of the posts made to date
Kilkenny Genealogy - My third website, very much in it's infancy as I have been concentrating on this Laois Genealogy site & info for the last year or so (2009), but the bordering parishes for the two counties are very much interconnected with Laois people buried in Kilkenny graveyards and also to be found in Kilkenny parish records
From Ireland - My first website - about a lot of things Irish and it may still have a few genealogy and Laois bits and pieces that I have not moved to this site yet.
