  1. (continued from previous page)
    can tell stories well in English. He lives in Farnane, Cappamore, Co. Limerick. The area of the townland is 603 acres, one road and 27 perches.
    In the townland of Farnane, the houses were more numerous in former times. In former years four families emigrated to America and their houses are now in ruins, and after some time their descendants came back to Ireland and settled in other places. The land is not hilly but about eight acres is under bog, and the rest is fertile land. There is a wood growing on the border of the townland "Fennelly Wood" and the area is about eight acres. There is a stream running through the townland but it is not a big one, but the "Bilboa River" and the "Mulkear " separate Farnane from Bilboa and the Blackboy.
