    3. These are the best websites that I have explored so far this year: http://www.movinghere.org.uk/ <http://www.movinghere.org.uk/> A wonderful cousin found this site and I gleaned a lot of information from it. Enter your name in the "Search the Site" box at the upper right corner. The listings that come up are from the "Local Loan Association" records. It is heartbreaking to read through the listings - it explains the defaulting on the loans because people died, emigrated, moved or can't be found. It is a little tedious because you have to download the PDF files and then see if they are what you are looking for. But believe me, it is worth it, even if you don't find your ancestors. I worked page by page through Galway to save them all - a monstrous undertaking. http://www.valoff.ie/ "Search the Valuation Lists" - I think these are current landowners but the surnames are interesting to see if descendants still live in the area Kathy Smigun (researching Folan and Conneely from Curhownagh/Errislannon and Murphy/Hussey from Curragh West)
