Hello List, I wonder if someone who knows the Tipperary area about 40 miles around Cashel could give me some pointers on how to find my ancestors farms and graveyards where they are buried? I will be staying at a self-catering cottage 2 miles from Tipperary town and will need to travel to New Birmingham and Kilcooly Abbey and New Park townland or a small place called 'The Commons' looking for family of 'Switzers' who farmed there before 1831. I am a senior and absolutely will not rent a car. Also I need to search for the ancestral Cowin/Cowan land SE of Cashel near Rosegreen and any Church of Ireland graveyards in the area. My questions are these: 1- How easy is it to travel by bus to these places..would there only one bus a day travelling to New Birmingham or Littleton and would the bus even go to somewhere small like the Commons? Likewise to Rosegreen? 2-Is there any other way to find the land my ancestors farmed or would that info have to be found at the Land Registry office in Dublin? 3- Is there anyway to do an on-line search for old Church of Ireland graveyards in the vicinity of Rosegreen? Please contact me privately with any and all suggestions you folks might have. Thank you so much for your time and ideas. Gladys in Alberta gladsl@xplornet.com
