    1. Untangling Irish place names
    2. My grandmother's civil birth registry says she was born in the townland of Lisivruggy, the registrar's district of Killeroran, in 1873. However, when I search for Lisivruggy, the nearest I can come is Lissavruggy, which is in Killian civil parish, right next to Killeroran. My greatgrandfather was a laborer and may have moved about a bit. When I look for him in Griffith's or in the 1901 census, should I concentrate on the civil parish, Killian's? (He was John Loughan; I wish he hadn't had such a common name.) Diane Culhane
