Thank you Mcreed for posting the link. It is the one I have been trying to open. I'm getting the same response with your link, and appears I have an error (HTTP 403) with my browser, which I cannot resolve. It would be really helpful if someone on the forum would kindly let know if there are any Heh...

Hello all - I have tried unsuccessfully to get to an online version of the phone book for Ireland. I have googled appropriate terms, but each time the page to what appears to be the official site will not open. I have tried a link posted at this forum a while ago, and it will not open. Is anyone abl...

I have been unable to find the meanings of oge, reagh, and ny used in several Gaelic names associated with my family. I am guessing the first two are related to the son's family position, whilst the last one means maiden name of the woman?? I would appreciate any assistance with this one.

There is evidence of a Francis Kierce/Kerse at the Commons South in the 1820s and 1842 Tax Assessments. ...

If she was, in fact transported, it could have been to either NSW or VDL (Tasmania), given the period. You can try a search at the following sites:

Hi from warm and steamy Oz - I am trying to ascertain the likely location of my Hehir family. A newspaper report from 1831 relating to one of the family implies he lived between 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 miles from Corrofin. I have tried to work out (from Tithe and freeholders lists) which townlands with the ...
