Hi all, I have noted that there are a number on this list interested in ancestors from Emyvale. Yesterday I read a very good book (about 60 some pages) at our local LDS Family History Center. The book is entitled _Emyvale, Sweet Emyvale_ by Seamus McCluskey, published in Monaghan. The book is on one microfiche, #6036564. The book gives a great history of Emyvale from its earliest times into the 1900s, gives geographical information, includes stories of "local color," has photos (not well viewed on the microfiche reader, but when printed out on the microfilm reader/printer using manual setting at its darkest and Negative to Positive setting, fairly well viewable) and also an Appendix that "names names" of citizens. One item in the Appendix was the 1861 Griffith's Valuation for Emyvale. I was happy to see that even though 15 years after my ancestors supposedly left, there was at least one ROGERS and one MORRISON. This delightful book (in my humble opinion) adds "flesh to the bones" of our ancestors and is helpful for understanding the people, not only of Emyvale, but of surrounding counties as well.
