    My townland in Glenamaddy.
    My parish is Boyounagh and my barony is Ballymoe.
    There are forty eight houses in my townland.
    Garvey, Collins, Kelly, Raftery are very common surnames around here.
    Glenamaddy is called that name because the Irish for Glenamaddy is Gleann-na-Madhadh; Glen of the dogs.
    There are ten old aged pensioners in the town and the most of them speak English.
    Jim Dillon was the best story teller in Glenamaddy but he is dead now. The following are not bad:-
    Tom Dillon, Gornageer.
    Billy Glynn, Glenamaddy.
    T. Raftery Meelick.
