After twenty years of searching for the family connection in Ireland, this intro to Griffths and the other video on how to search led me at last to the old family homestead. Still there just outside Desertmartin. Thanks much.

@RoamYourRoots Год назад

I am so happy that you found your family property!

thanks for sharing, funny I am looking about John Kelly who is the 4th person on the same page as your person in Clonmany

Wow what a coincidence!!

Hi, thank you for sharing... I have been trying for months to open the maps, to no avail. It seems it freezes and ends up coming as a blank page. I did ask askaboutireland, but would like to know if you know of a glitch, or a trick to get the maps loaded. I see your video and I am so jealous! I wish I could do that with the maps... I have tried with Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. About 6 months ago I could see the map, but it didn't let me use any of the interactive tools (show town, etc). Now, the maps don't even get uploaded. Any thoughts?

@maryfitzlove 4 года назад

I never thought to click on "Show towns." Culd be useful if your ancestor lived in town.

The map is broken now, it's just blank ): Is there any other way I can access the map?

@JoeyH-mb1vx 4 месяца назад

Nevermind! I was able to load it by going through another county. My ancestor's townland (Bearvaish in Drumrat, County Sligo) was in one of the very few spots in Ireland where there wasn't a map, I guess. This was only for map 1, though. So once I loaded in for a different county and found Bearvaish, I was able to switch to map 2 and see it!

Im not having any luck getting a map pulled up for me for a different location. I’m looking for a map in County Monaghan

@JoeyH-mb1vx 3 месяца назад

@@seakinireland Have you gotten it to load yet? If not, try what I did in my reply above. Search for a different county, say County Donegal, and choose a random person living there and open the map. Then move the slider over to modern map and locate your county. From there, you can move the slider back to historical map and you should be able to see it.

@Patrick-qc4zy 3 года назад

So when you think you have found your ancestor then what woukd the next step after finding the land ect? Is there any other document to comoare to prove it is them?

Once you've located them in Griffith's Valuation, you can look into parish records - perhaps you'll be able to find a marriage or a baptism. You can search parish records on FindMyPast - there's a link in the video's description box. You can also try to trace back a few decades earlier in the Tithe Applotment Books. I have a video on those as well! Good luck in your search!
