HI, Donna! Sorry I can't help you with your Ireland questions. I see by your email address that you probably have Griffin in your ancestry. I know that is a very common name in Ireland, but I have to grasp at any straw that comes along. Do you have any Gradys in your Griffin line?I have very little information to go on. I dont' even know if they came from Co. Tipperary. Thanks for any info. Mary
