I am looking for some advice about research help. I have been researching the ROWLES families of Cloonteen in the parish of Doon. Family members were baptised and married in the Cappamore church (which is now in the parish of Cappamore). There were two separate families of that name in the Griffith Valuation and previously in the Tithe Applotments of 1828. Although the name is rare in Ireland, most are concentrated in this one small townland, I have not been able to determine the relationship between the two heads of household: George, who emigrated with his whole family to the Midwest of the US. (WI and MN) and Michael who emigrated with his whole family to Australia (NSW), although they were sponsors of each others' children. However I have researched both families' descendants in hope of finally solving this puzzle. Years ago (1995) I got help on baptisms and marriages from THU (now TFHR) and a report from the Limerick Archives (now Limerick Genealogy) which confirmed information I had already gathered from family members and added a little more. Could anyone could tell me whether it would be worth my time and money to repeat my research request to these new organizations as there are still some unanswered questions? Also, do they maintain files of prior research on same families in order to share, with permission, researchers' contact info with each other? Thank you, Ann Lamb Issaquah, WA
