    1. [MEATH] townland question
    2. Fay Finn

    3. Just a general question: How can a person find out what townland an ancestor is from? Mine is from Kildalkey, but that is the name of a civil parish as well as a townland. There are dozens of townlands in that civil parish. When people said where they were from, did they usually mean the townland or the parish? Thanks. Fay

    3. What is the name you are researching? I can check the Griffith's Valuation Index to see if they are listed in the townland. Usually people would say they were from the largest town in the area, so would assume your relative would have been referring to the townland instead of the parish.
