I am trying to find their Parish in Limerick. > Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. > Have you tried any cemeteries in Ontario, whereever your family lived? I have ancestors that settled in Thorold (near St Catherine's) and found their gravestones mentioned the town and county in Ireland and England where they were born. From looking at other tombstones, I saw that most had towns where born. Maybe it was a tradition at the time. You might try contacting the public library in the Ontario town and see if they have a genealogy section in their library. When I was in Thorold last summer, I discovered a wonder source. They had all the old newspapers on film and one could scan and copy to a disc or just print. When I got home I discovered one of the stories I thought I copied was not on my drive so I wrote the librarian and she copied the story and sent it to me attached to an email. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Pat: After reading about additions to your website and the Limerick surname list, I'm wondering if you are interested in names of anyone who came from Limerick or just those connected to your family. I recently donated the genealogy report on my McAuliffe Family from Newcastle West via England to Ontario, Canada, to both the Grey Roots (Grey County, Ontario) and the Durham Public Library Archives. So far, I have not submitted a genweb to Ancestry.ca or com, although some relatives have passed on some of my work to those websites under their own connecting family names. Andy > 3.

To whomever Margaret was addressing: My Rowles family from Clonteen, Doon emigrated in 1850, but appear in the GV (farm 23, I think). When they left the land was transferred to a family named Fitzgibbon and was occupied by a descendant of that family named Gerald Lonergan in 1995 when we visited there. You might get some information about whether your Michael was related to them if someone of that name is still there. Try the phone book or the post office, or better, the historical society or _http://www.doonbleisce.com/_ (http://www.doonbleisce.com/) A search of 118.ie white pages turned up 7 Lonergans, none in Doon but one in Cappamore (which Clonteen is in now) and one in Pallasgreen which is next to Doon. There are 17 Fitzgibbons listed in the county but they are all in the city. Ann Lamb In a message dated 8/7/12 12:31:20 A.M.

This still definately works! I use it all the time. You need not to click on the button where it costs you credits, for instance you put in name and see how many hits you get then add fathers name/mothers name see how many hits you get add date see how many hits you get, you can narrow it down really well but only look at the ones that you have narrowed down.

Thanks to everyone on this list and Co-Tipperary for their helpful answers to my Irish newbie questions. Everytime I learn something new, I have more questions!! But that's what makes the journey so interesting. Pat

You might also try the free website www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation (I think that is the full url). They have images of the ordnance survey maps which pop up and can be moved around with a mouse after you search for names in griffiths. I don't think you can print the maps, except by a print-screen command, but the borders and numbering of plots correspond to griffiths entries - I found them very useful to visualize the location of plots and borders of (historical) townlands, etc. I also found I needed a good browser as the images are very large (flash?) files. Since they are "powered by google," I used Google Chrome browser with good results.
