    Hello

    I am looking for information from the Griffith's Valuation
    for:

    Elliott Alexander
    Towland: Gortnasillagh
    Parish: Inishkeel
    County: Donegal

    This could be my great great grandfather who I believe was born in
    Ireland around 1847. I have confirmed him as my great great
    grandfather here in Canada from various Census records going back to
    1871. I am also waiting for microfilm documents of his marriage
    certificate (circa 1872 in Ontario) which should tell me the name of
    his father and mother.

    Any info on this Alexander Elliott Griffith's Valuation would be
    greatly appreciated ..thanks for your time ..Rob Stevenson

    This may be of some use
    http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/

    Its the records of the 1911 census that you can run searches on.
    Also, have you tried contacting the Donegal geneology society. Heres a link to their site. http://indigo.ie/~donances/new_web/index.html

    Hope thats of some help
