Today somebody asked me where to get a copy of "St. Ailbe's Heritage" (1994, Cashel and Emly. I looked it up on WorldCat.org and found 7 copies. The closest to me was at the Notre Dame library, 1700 miles away from me, but thanks to my library's system's InterLibraryLoan, it is as close as the request form on my computer. But I was surprised to find none in Ireland. That doesn't mean that they don't exist. One could certainly check the online catalog of the county libraries there, or the Tipperary Family History. I hope that someday many of these local history books will make their way to the digital library world since nobody seems interested in reprinting them for those of us who want to buy them. I hope permissions will be given. (Oh, dear, I just thought.... That title sounds familiar. Maybe I have a copy in my own library. Just got up and went to the shelf and found it on the second layer back, behind the first row of books. I guess I'd better write back to my correspondent. <grin>) Ann Lamb

This is the first time I have posted although I have been reading everyone's posts for years. You can purchase a copy of the "Upperchurch Drombane Historical Journal" online at www.upperchurch.ie, Drombane is near Thurles and Upperchurch in Tipperary. A journal was also published in 2010 but I'm not sure how you would order a back issue. I am lucky enough to be in contact with the gentleman that lives in Rosmult cottage. My husband's Great Grandmother, Anne Ryan lived in the cottage with her family before she came to the US. He was so kind as to send the 2010 issue as well as the 2011 issue to me. We hope to meet him in person in the future. I am researching Ryan and Hayes from Drombane as well as Finnerty's from Roscommon and Galway.
