These searches allow you to locate any townland, parish or village in each of Ireland's thirty two counties. http://www.seanruad.com/ Mapquest.com can get to the parish but not the townland. http://wwwrd.0mm.com/map019002 You are welcome for my time.

I don't know whether or not these two links still work, but if it does, it might be useful if emigrants went to Canada, perhaps en route to US. Found among my old files during a cleanup.

I am forwarding this in case anyone finds it useful for Irish emigrants to NSW Australia. I have not tried the link myself. Mary G > BDM in NSW, have placed all records since year dot on-line.

You can only search for 10 years at a time. So, please ensure you place the years 1880-1890, for one search (for example). And then do another search from 1890-1900 etc etc.

Find them on a search engine like Google or Alta Vista ..... there are quite a few in County Mayo. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fran King" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 03, 2001 6:14 AM Subject: [MAYO] WEBSITES NEEDED > Does anyone on this list know of websites that "originate" in County Mayo, Ireland?

Dear Friends, I've recently learned of a possible relative whose name was Mary FORDY, born in Ireland. Her name was listed in a church record in England. There are practically no spellings of that name on the Griffiths Valuation of Ireland but there are many with the spelling of FORDE. Does anyone know if FORDE is a variation of FORDY or if there's a possibility the name was misspelled on the church record? Thank you. Mary L. Casey

Hi Mary, FORDY may have been FOODY, which is a name found almost exclusively in Co. Mayo in the Griffith Land Valuations for Ireland 1848-1864.
