    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YWC.2ACI/5421.2 Message Board Post: Maureen: Here are two suggestions for mining some data: Go to www.failteromhat.com/ which lists the families who were recorded in Griffiths Land Records. Do a Surname search in County Leitrim for each of your three names and print them out. By comparing them side-by-side you will probably be able to narrow down the parishes in which all three were found. Look further to see if you have some in the same townlands. With any common name you will find folks listed who are not your ancestor, but if you find all three names close-by, you are on to something. The Leitrim Heritage Center has a record for a marriage between a Michael Farrell and a Mary O'Brien in 1829. This does not match-up with the birth years that you have, but one or all could be wrong (my mom was baptised before she was born according to Irish records). There is a charge for their service, going up all the time, but you might want to talk to them to see how much any research would cost. I think that this record might be available through the LDS Family History Centers as well, but I'm not so familiar with that. Good Luck
