It came up with quite a few names. What do I do from here to go deeper? And is it like a census report where it lists the rest of the family? Thanks DianeM

Many census records were destroyed in the 1800's so Griffith's Valuation is used to find ancestors in Ireland. I haven't looked for Griffith's yet, but I imagine you could find it in the library. It might just give you a microfilm number. Jane
