First, let me apologize to all the "obits" list subscribers who are getting bombarded with unwanted emails about look ups. I would be the first to agree how annoying it is to receive lots of emails that don't pertain to the list or things of interest. It was never my intent to inundate everyone but it has snowballed because it is a new "resource" for many people. Second, I will be happy to continue doing look ups for anyone if you will send an email directly to me, not to the list. Given the number of requests it may take me a few days to get back to everyone, but I will respond. Third, Mr. Ahern is correct that many Irish citizens didn't own 1 acre or more until the land acts in 1903 and 1907 when they purchased the land they were tenants on or increased their holdings from less than 1 acre. Fourth, Mr. Ahern is correct that the Griffith's Valuation is an excellent resource with more details than my book provides, but the book is of a little later period than the GV so it may have information that wasn't in the GV for a particular area. Again my apologies to everyone, there is no need to "choose sides" in the debate because those that want information can contact me directly and everyone will be happy.

Hi folks, I think it's time to put an end to the 'Landowners' and 'Appropriateness' discussion. This discussion is in itself inappropriate. There are other Rootsweb lists to take your lookup queries and replies to. Why not have a look at them at ~ http://lists.rootsweb.com/ I would be quite happy to host them on my Internet_Genealogy list which has subscribing instructions on my website, the URL of which is in my signature file.

Cindy, Again I understand what you are saying, but I still feel we all need to have more compassion for each other. None of us are perfect, and all of us make mistakes. It also tends to become bothersome when as soon as someone makes any kind of mistakes others are extremely quick to point it out. You are correct, we could write to the person directly, but so could all of the perfectionists who jump on the one who makes the mistake. Instead of letting the entire list know your displeasure, why not just privately write to the person and ask them to not do whatever it is that makes you unhappy? I'm finished with this subject now.

Hi folks, Although I agree that this list is not the place for such lookups, I can also see why this may have happened. The list is set to 'reply to list' and subscribers forget this when replying and so their query/answer is sent to the list. It appears to me that Maryann, in her enthusiasm to help others, has probably not realised which list she is posting to. There are plenty of other Irish county lists to use for such lookups, or you could just ensure the messages are sent privately.
