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.
