Hi Listers I posted this recently but thought Id give it another shot since I've been having trouble with my email bouncing lately. Itreid going through the archives but boy are there alot of posts for this list ! whew! In browsing I found something I dont understand in the "Ireland (or is it Irish??) Old News" .Im hoping someone can help me. An article dated November 25 1852 says, in part, "the eviction of 25 families off the "lands of Langan" and Moyne." Who, what and / or where are the lands of Langan? is that a place or a person.One of my surnames is LANGAN. Someone kindly sent me a link to check surnames but what I'm really trying to find out is if the "lands of Langan and Moyne" was a place...or was Langan the people they were refering to? If it is a place can someone tell me where it is? Thank you again, Cris

Hi Chris, The Ireland Old News usually has the articles broken down into counties or areas. What area is the article listed under? There are 11 townlands with the name of Moyne listed in various counties in the General Alphabetical Index To The Townlands and Towns, Parishes and Baronies of Ireland, and I didn't find Langan as a townland. There are several Langans listed in the Griffith's Valuation in several of the counties that have Moyne as a townland. The Griffith's Valuation Index CD I have doesn't list any Langans in Limerick, but not everyone was listed in the Griffith's Valuation. Beannachtai, Margaret (Máiread)
