Hi

Would there be anyone willing to assist in providing any further information on John McKeown above, born 1895 in Cookstown, Co Tyrone. He was a prisoner of war WW2 in Stalag 4D Torgau Elbe.

This is the only information I have, having tried Ancestry and found nothing :-(

Hoping someone will be able to help

Antrim / Griffith's valuation maps

« on: Tuesday 06 November 12 16:41 GMT (UK) »

Can someone please help, or at least put my mind at rest. I have been agonizing over these maps for several hours now. I used to be able to print these maps out. I slightly overlaid the newer map over the old map and I then marked the houses/lands were my ancestors lived. Infact I made an large map/poster of the Ballycollin/kilcorig/ ballycarrickmaddy area and have it up on the wall. I find it brilliant for finding their houses and going to visit the area.

But alas I cannot seem to be able to do it anymore

Could anyone shed some light on this for me pretty please
