Dear Listers:

For those of you with whom I am not already corresponding, it occurred to me
that it might be simpler for us all if I posted the list of all heads of
household of the adjoining townlands of Drumphea and Rathnageeragh, since
each had only 21 households early in the 20th century. Then if we are trying
to check our connections, or if anyone else is poring over the Myshall parish
register, there will be a single list to work from. I have listed the names
in the order in which they appear in the censuses. So far I am related
directly to the Troys and the Lawlesses, and more distantly to the Byrnes and
Fitzgeralds.
