Help Please- Higgins in Galway
« on: Friday 15 April 05 15:30 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me?  I am looking for details of the Higgins family in Galway circa 1830's.  Family lived around Kinvara / Gort.  If listed in Griffith's Valuation, would I be able to get actual land records from the Irish Government?  Is there any way to find out family members? 
(Can you tell I am a beginner???.. sorry!)
Thanks for your help.
