County Roscommon
A name by name transcription of the Griffith
Valuation of several civil parishes in County Roscommon is available
online
here.
The transcription
includes the name of the individual along
with the townland in which they owned or
rented land. This is crucial information for
Irish genealogy in that the individual's
location must be known at the townland level
before one can know which church registers to
access for baptism, marriage, and burial records.
Jon Garvey speculates that the
Roscommon Garveys originated in Co Galway. He has put
together a map of Garveys in Co Roscommon in 1749
as listed in a census of that year.
