See http://tiara.ie/meet.html#maps for directions. Robert W. Oliphant, Ph.D. will speak on 11 Acres 1 Rood 10 Perches - But What Does It Mean? Griffith's Valuation and other sources provide information on the land and property holdings of our ancestors in Ireland, but what do these land measurement numbers mean? How can we relate the size and value of our ancestors' holdings to meaningful measurements that we can understand? In his illustrated talk, Dr. Oliphant will describe land measurement in Ireland and will attempt to relate it to meaningful examples, many drawn from his own experience researching his ancestors in the vicinity of Rathfriland, Co. Down.
