As part of my family research here in Ireland, I have
recorded many of the surname indexes for the civil
parish of Tipperary and many of it's surrounding civil
parishes. I have indexed all the surnames and their
corresponding civil parishes, over 6000 entries, and
have the index now online at my website. Gradually, I
will get all the civil parishes online, as time
permits. So far, I have the Ballygriffin Civil Parish
completed and on line.
The civil parish surname indexes include the the

SNIPPET: One of the most memorable experiences my sister and I had on our
recent trip to Ireland was to visit the "Turning Darkness Into Light"
Exhibit at Trinity College Library, Dublin city. Trinity College was
founded in 1592 by QUEEN ELIZABETH I to establish a Protestant way of
thinking about God. Trinity has long been Ireland's most prestigious
college. Originally the student body was limited to rich Protestant males.
Women were admitted in 1903, and Catholics (though allowed entrance by the

SNIPPET: Life, Death and Hereafter -- Loughcrew, tells of Ireland's
neolithic cultures, shrouded in myth and mystery. One legend has it that
the burial mounds were created by a witch jumping from one hill to the next
dropping stones from her apron to form the cairns. The Loughcrew Cairns are
a group of passage tombs dating around 3000 BC. They may have been a focal
point for the community, a place to honour the dead, a symbol of the
community's wealth and a territorial marker. Located east of Oldcastle
SNIPPET: One of the highlights of my recent visit to Ireland was dining one
afternoon with my sister and two Irish e-mail friends at the beautiful Lake
Hotel, a charming, family-run establishment superbly located on the shore of
the famous Lakes of Killarney. It is nestled at the water's edge of the
lower lake in the shadow of a picturesque mountain range - what a gorgeous
view! Built in 1820, the award-winning Lake Hotel combines old world
charm with modern facilities. The hotel is located just 2 km

CREASING AT THE EDGES
The Greeks left behind cold
images of human beauty,
barely mortal in their perfection.
No warm-blooded man could ever maintain
such sculptured flesh
beyond youth's full vigour,
no woman remain flat-bellied after pregnancy.
We are haunted by the faces of stone divinities
reborn in the pages of glossy magazines:
computer-enhanced models with flawless
skin wearing designer smiles.
If I touched one would she bruise?
If she breathed this city's air
would she turn to dust?

Welcome to the list Frances, I don't have any connections with the name
Conway but my ancestors did come from the townland of Taghboy
Galway/Roscommon.
Irish research outside of Ireland is a bit of a minefield, if I can help in
anyway, just give me a shout.
Lot of luck with your research.
Mary.
