The Divisions of south Leitrim

As is explained in my book Tracing Your Leitrim Ancestors , Leitrim, like the rest of Ireland, is divided into different Administrative Divisions and, depending on what records are being sought, different Divisions have to be searched. The table below gives an overview of the three key divisions that the researcher will come across.
