    3. Hello Stephanie. If you go to www.seanruad.com and enter Drumsonas in the first line there -- the townland line. THEN change the box on the right FROM 'exact...' TO: At Beginning of field -- so that it will search for DRUMSO... and hopefully will more easily find the townland being searched for --- as townland, place-name, and surname spellings in Ireland are NOTORIOUS for much changeability --- THEN you will hopefully find your answer. Just in case you have trouble doing all of that, here is the result: Townland: Drumsonnus (n.b. I have frequently also seen this spelt as Drumsonnis) Acres: 391 County: Tyrone Barony: Omagh East Civil Parish: Kilskeery (n.b. I have also often seen this spelt as Kilskerry) PLU (for Poor Law Union): Lowtherstown (this was the former name of the town now known as Irvinestown in County Fermanagh, very close to Kilskeery Parish.) Province: Ulster. If you google for the various spellings of Drumsonnus, you never know what goodies you might find. Likewise, google for Kilskeery and Kilskerry, and you may find lots of other goodies. If you have not yet done it, also google for HAMILTON Kilskeery, and I expect that you will obtain lots of hits. Good Luck. ray in oz also ----- Original Message ----- From: "stephanie" <shume@tpg.com.au> > Am looking for information on Drumsonas : is this in Kilkeery parish and > whereabouts is that? > > shume@tpg.com.au
