We’re delighted to share that the Bruff Boys National School, Grange National School and St. Patrick’s Monastery Bruff Roll Books are now available to view online.

📚 The records cover an incredible period from 1913 to 2001, providing a fascinating glimpse into the school lives and communities of Bruff across generations.

Whether you’re researching your family history, looking for a former schoolmate, or simply interested in Bruff’s local heritage, these records are a wonderful resource.

We will in the future make it easier to find a name as we make the system easier. The names when Ireland became independent from the UK were written in Irish.
