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.
