Consider: entering just the terms "Roscommon" and "Griffith's valuation" in Google leads straight to multiple web sites with the desired answer, and there are entire web pages devoted just to GV for Roscommon! In addition, anyone interested in Irish family history research should either own or at least borrow some of the standard reference works, where this information is easily found. I see no need to mollycoddle the latest lazy, idle bugger to come along and want me to do his research for him, as some others seem pleased to do. Regards, The Chief ------------------- But he didn't ask you to do any research for him. He merely asked if there was an online reference somewhere. I travel a lot with both work and my research. If I took all my books with me, the airlines would have a field day with "excess baggage" charges (not mentioning any airline in particular of course) :-) Tony Proctor
