Does anyone have information about the parents of Moses Greer, born in 1798 in Corlust, Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland? Moses married Alice Conn (Connor) in about 1824 in Ireland, where they had their first six children. The family emigrated to Canada between 1837 and 1842 and settled in Grenville, where they had three more children. Moses died in Grenville on December 7, 1856.

next I would look up each of these in the detailed version of http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/ I would find each persons details and map ref and look up the map ref.. then look up the map offered and plot the homestead . next I would jump to google maps, satellite view enlarge to the point street scenes are seen and move up and down roads that were possibly used by the ancestors for fun and information about where they lived
next will be church records etc
hoping thats a start for you
