The information you have provided is good to know. I know alot of the time, back in the day, people would spell things the way they were heard or how the person said it and would sound it out to spell it. So, this is nothing new as far as the search goes :) I do appreciate everything. Oh, one more question, the Griffith's and MacLysaght's, is this something I can access? Do you have a web address for either of them? I am new to moving forward in my search of my Irish ancestors. I have made it as far back as the ones who came from Ireland and I think this is why I am stuck. Lack of resources. Any sites you may have may help me in my search. Thanks again, Amanda Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
