(I'm in Grass Valley) Probably the town of ROCKCORRY. Only townlands beginning with GLAS that I found are; GLASDRUMMOND, GLASLECK, GLASLOUGH, and GLASMULLAGH. GLAS might mean "grey" or "green" and BEG means "small". AGHA, I believe, means "a field". Rockcorry is between Ballybay and Cootehill, on road R188. You might want to look at the parishes in that area and see if a parish map (available at the LDS centers) would show a townland similar to GLASAGHBEG. The parishes near Rockcorry might be one of these; Drumully, Aghabog, Ematris, or Aughnamullen West.Someone on this list probably knows which one contains the Rockcorry area. Glasaghbeg may be an old placename no longer used. SeanRuad has a list of those. www.seanruad.com/ See Irish Placenames at; www.irishplacenames.com/ Patrick Traynor, in California's gold-rush country. tray@jps.net TRAYNOR'S Web Page (Irish stuff) http://members.nbci.com/pattraynor/
