Hello Michael, Congratulations for creating an interesting montage! How did you and Clare obtain your aerial photograph? Is there a source (for other townlands) that's accessible?

Hi Wanda, The maps come from the following sites. The AskAboutIreland site has a search capability for Griffith's Valuation along with images of the pages and a set of marked up 6" OS maps. The maps aren't exactly in sync with the GV but are probably synced with the 1st Cancelled Book. http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml The Ordnance Survey of Ireland site has a wonderful ability to do overlays of historic and modern maps. The satellite images are breath taking. http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,591271,743300,0,10 Best regards, Mike McGraw Austin, TX -----Original Message----- From: irl-tipperary-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:irl-tipperary-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Wanda Crawford Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2011 3:13 PM To: irl-tipperary@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [IRL-TIP] The Neighbors in Ireland-LONG, FANNING, TUOHY, McGRATH Hello Michael, Congratulations for creating an interesting montage!
