PARISH OF BORRIS-IN-OSSORY (RC) BAPTISMS - KILLASMEESTIA FAMILIES

A few years ago, I extracted the following baptisms from FHL 
0926188 [parish registers of Borris-in-Ossory Catholic 
parish, County Laois, Ireland] for families living in 
Killasmeestia (which is spelled various ways in the 
records).

All spellings are as I read them from the film; there is 
often a lot of variation in the spelling of the names of 
places and people in Irish records. For example, in 
Griffith's, there are people named McClane - probably the 
McClean, McLean, Maclean, MacClean, etc. in the records 
below.
