Jim, I did not know of the existence of these records before your email came. From them I have discovered quite a lot of records for my wife's RUTHERFORDs in Co Leitrim and I have taken a slightly different approach to that mentioned in the guide.
I started by looking at the land index records for Leitrim such as "Land index: Galway, Leitrim, Longford 1708-1810" going through page by page the Leitrim section and noting all the transactions involving a RUTHERFORD and so far I have found references to about 40 deeds from about 1750 through to the early 1900's. As well as references to the land some, particularly the earlier ones, include some details of relationships and marriages which are not obtainable from other Irish records. I will admit it's a lot of hard work viewing the films but it is worth it as they provide information on possible family members who are not recorded elsewhere. Thanks for providing this information.
