The space between 50 and 000 is just another way to group zeros (we primarily use commas in the U.S., the Brits primarily use periods). So 1" = 50,000" * (1'/12") * (1 mi/5280') = 0.78 mi What is linear dimension of the grid squares? Measure that with a ruler, and apply the above conversion to it, and that will tell you how many miles square it is. Then square it, and that will tell you how many square miles it is. For example, if each grid square is 0.64" on a side, then that would be: 0.64" * (0.78 mi/1") = 0.5 mi So each grid square would be 0.5 mi square, or 0.25 square miles. Scott

I recently purchased a copy of the Discovery Series Map, #35, covering Cavan, Louth, Meath and Monaghan. I am trying to look at various locations on the map and see if it is reasonable to believe that while my family lived in one place, how likely would it have been that there would be a relationship with a family in another area. For example, my Kiernan and Fitzsimons family were from Kilmore, and I find a marriage record for a person I believe to be a sibling, but it shows they reside in Coratinner, or Shamaqwerty or even Drumagolan. On the map it appears that these locations are in fairly close proximity to one another. My map skills being what they are, prompt me to ask for some clarification. The legend shows 1:50 000. Is that 1" = 50 miles or kilometers? What do the three 0's mean after the fifty? Is each grid 50 square miles or 50 square kilometers? I believe that Kilmore is part of Killinkere Parish and Bailieborough PLU. However, several times on different ancestor charts I find Kilmore referred to as follows: Kilmore, Virginia, Cavan, Ireland. What is the significance of Virginia? Any help or insight is appreciated.

Leigh: As you know, Farrelly is a very common Cavan name, with literally dozens in Griffith's index (including two Corneliuses, in Mullagh and Lavey parishes). My Farrellys came from Enniskeen and included a Michael, probably born between 1810 and 1820, as yours likely was, but he reportedly went to America. To better link up with people researching Farrellys from Cavan, you should give James's parish and townland. If you don't have that, you can get it from the civil record of his birth. You should also check the RC parish records, if you haven't already. Diane ************** New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination. Dining, Movies, Events, News &amp; more.

Since this man's birth is indicated to be in 1876 and the INDEX films for Irish births is at the local FHC, I looked in the 1876 film for it. Didn't think there'd be many GALLIGANs, and that's true....and the birth is listed ! 1876 Births, Thomas Joseph GALLIGAN....Cavan...12-101 Translates to Thomas Joseph GALLAGAN's birth was registered in Cavan parish, volume 12 page 101. That film containing the original handwritten registration entry is available to rent at any FHC if someone would like to view it. Film #255958 is 1876 births, volume 12. It has literally thousands of entries of births in Ireland, all recorded in volume 12. If you don't have the Index to give you the volume and page number, it will be a long haul looking through all 20 volumes [25 microfilms] of actual birth entries in 1876 to find his if you don't fall asleep first or find your wallet getting thinner at US5.50 per film. His date of birth, townland or residence name will be given, his mother and father's name plus their residences are given. An informant's name is also there, its usually the father, sometimes the mother and occasionally someone else who was present at the birth. I have no information on the widow.

James was the son of Cornelius and Margaret Burns Farrelly. He was born in County Cavan in 1875 and came to the US around 1909. Cornelius was the son of Michael and Ann Farrelly. Margaret was the daughter of Edward and Bridget Burns.

I found an interesting obit for Mrs. Judith Tormey (1800-1898) - born in County Cavan - died in Newark, NJ. The obit says she was struck blind when she saw her son Edward in his coffin. Read the complete story at: http://blog.genealogybank.com/2008/10/woman-struck-blind-on-seeing-her-son.html

I posted the obit of Mrs. Catherine Reilly - b. 4 May 1770 - Cootehill, County Cavan, Ireland ... died Media, PA 3 Oct 1874. Even though she died in Media, PA - her obit was published in the San Francisco (CA) Evening Bulletin. See: http://blog.genealogybank.com/2008/10/more-newspapers-added-to-genealogybank.html The obit also says that she came to America in 1840 - through the Port of Philadelphia - where she lived "for many years". It tells us that she had "seven children and twenty-four grandchildren" and that her aunt "recently died in Ireland at the age of one hundred and eight".
