Most importantly, this book has a Map of the Townlands of Co. Longford, and an index to them. It is normally described as an index to the 1901 Census for Co. Longford, but the map and index are even more useful for research in the 1700s and 1800s. The above book, along with the 1854 Griffith's Primary Valuation Index for Longford are available directly from the author, David Leahy or from good genealogical bookstores

Email for Tom Moffatt: tmoffatt@nbnet.nb.ca Irish Ancestral Research Association (TIARA) an excellent source of information and Irish Links IRLGEN - Longford Research Page an excellent guide to the basic Co. Longford Records, but remember that deeds and other sources are invaluable. IRLGEN Home Page has excellent information on all aspects of Irish research. David Leahy Presently has two books on Longford Genealogy that a 'MUST' and the website may soon be expanded to include other sources Longford Local A site with a fascinating array of connections, and pieces of information. Rather slow at this time, but worth checking out. A bulletin board worth leaving carefully crafted messages on. Longford Roots A good option when looking for assistance on Co. Longford family history research. Very knowledgeable. IreAtlas Townland Database only about 50 percent complete, but still a valuable searching tool for the townland address. National Archives of Ireland A major repository of Irish records. Good information. Clan Moffat A source of information on the roots of the family in southwest Scotland
