Roundtable member Joy Rich informed us about this website–there is a myriad of interesting content on the site, but of special interest to genealogical researchers with ancestors from Ireland is a section for conducting free searches of Griffith’s Valuation, complete with very detailed maps of the areas surveyed.
Check out the site at: http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv_start.php

As they had only sons. and only my dad was married we have no relations who can help us with our search. are ther any mckeon’s or Nilan’s. from roscommon area who recognise these family names.
My father was born and brought up in frenchpark. co. roscommon
