I'm back again. Thank you to everyone who sent me a message, now I know for sure there are people out there so I feel much better. Someone checked the Griffith list for me today and came up with zero on my two names. Can anyone tell me if the Griffith list is for all of Ireland or for individual Townlands? If it is for Townlands (Parishes?) then I could well be on another wrong list! I just feel so at odds trying to start my Irish ancestry, very confusing and not sure at all what I'm doing. Could anyone also advise me if I should go on the Ireland list too? I think it covers everything but not too sure if it would help me out or not. Anyway, will have to persevere and keep my eyes open. Perhaps it's just a case of reading more and picking up what I can from other subscribers. May (Western Canada)
