Hi Mags, I am so happy for you. I live in Yarmouth Maine and have ordered many things off Inter-Library Loan. I have a copy of Guide to Tracing Your Limerick Ancestors by Margaret Franklin right now. I have found it very informative. I will try to order this book too. If you have the time, would you see if they have any information about the Kearney and Scanlon families of Ballyhahill in your book. I would be most grateful. Thank you, Liz Margaret Butler <magsbutler@mrnoisy.plus.com> wrote: Liz I have been after a similar book (similar in that it deals with a very specific locality in co.Limerick/Tipp; is a rare book and out of print; and costs hundreds of pounds to buy off leading booksellers on the internet). However - I had the bright idea of phoning my local library to see if they could get it on inter-library loan - and lo and behold, a few days later, they'd got it for me from the British Library! I'm just off to pick it up now, can't wait! So check with your local library first, they can do amazing things, even if they're only a small local branch, like mine, they can order just about anything.(I'm in England, by the way, don't know if this sort of service exists outside of Europe?) Or, contact the heritage society you mention, they might know of copies in the vicinity?
