Dear rootschatters,
I am wondering if anyone has come accross any new websites for the Aclare area, as I am doing family research for my ancestors who came from this area, well from the 1880s it seems, but I would like to do more research of the entire Parish. Have many on it but it seems to regurgitate the same stuff and I am looking for more about the O'HARA clan, as they had a castle BELCLARE and some battles were fought there, but I cannot seems to get more than the wikipedia stuff or if you search google,
So if anyone has any info., or new or old web sites, PLEASE post them here as I am trying to gather it all into one and list the links.

Have you already established a link to a particular O'Hara family in the area that you are trying to follow up on ?
There are quite a few extracted births on FamilySearch for the 1870s, and also civil registrations for the surname in the right registration district on the BMDIndex - see : O'Hara - 1870s Tobbercurry Reg. Dist. (https://www.familysearch.org/search/records#count=20&query=%2Bsurname%3AO%27Hara~%20%2Bbirth_place%3ATobercurry~%20%2Bbirth_year%3A1870-1880~&collection_id=1408347)
