My fathers aunt from Cloyne, County Cork had the name Anastasia. I find it
common in the RC Church records that I have seen. I did a search of the
Griffiths CD Rom to see how many were listed in it. There are 563 Anastasia's
listed. The heaviest concentrations are in County Wexford and County
Kilkenny. Keep in mind that the Griffiths Evaluation only lists one member of
each household (commonly the head of household).
