I had an opportunity to go to the state library in Hartford Ct, which has great books for genealogy. I used Glenariga as a means to examine which of the Irish placename books is most detailed. The clear winner was the Genealogical Publishing Co.'s 1984 reprint of the 1851 "Genealogical Alphabetical Index to the Townlands and Towns, Parishes, and Baronies of Ireland." My observa- tion is that there are relatively few placenames using "glen" as a part of the word (as opposed to placenames using the Irish words for rock, rock fortification, field, etc., e.g. "cloon" or "carrig." My candidate for Glenariga is a townland in Co. Limerick, in the Poor Law Union of Glin and the (civil ?) parish of Kilfergus: Glenagragara, which, if I tried to pronounce it and then spell it down through the years, might well reduce to Glenariga. My understanding of Glin is that it is very close to the county border with Clare, and that the old church parishes of Limerick used to flow over into East Clare, which I believe was the case for towns and townlands as far west as Broadford, only about 15 miles east of Ennis.
