Alice, I'm not sure where you're from, but from your ISP, I'm assuming it's either the US or Canada, so I'll explain this in US terms. Derry/Londonderry is both the name of an Irish county (similar to a US state) and a city within that county (so, similar to New York city being in New York state). For both Derry and NY, there is more to the county/state than just the city (i.e., they are not co-terminus). Whether you refer to it (either city or county) as Derry or as Londonderry is a political/religious/historical issue; some refer to it as Derry/Londonderry, others as L'derry. It is not a "border township" -- NI (like the Republic of Ireland) does not have townships. I've noticed some Americans tend to use "township" when they mean "townland," but Derry/Londonderry is much more than a townland. All of which is my attempt to clarify your first statement above. As for the "Derry/Londonderry Family History Center" you refer to, I assume you mean the County Derry/Londonderry Genealogy Centre? (see http://www.irishroots.net/Derry.htm which does indeed have a form for you to click on). This is the official, government-sponsored genealogy center for Derry and, unlike other county's official centers, has an excellent reputation. There is also a Derry/Londonderry Family History Center (i.e., a research facility provided by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), but FHCs are places where you can order films in order to do your own research, not a place where there is a form/$50 fee. Just an example of why it's important to be precise in using the names of institutions -- there are a lot out there that sound alike. As for maps of Counties, Baronies, Parishes, etc. in Northern Ireland, and definitions of same, the first place to start is at PRONI's website, http://proni.nics.gov.uk/ -- specifically, http://proni.nics.gov.uk/geogindx/geogindx.htm . Another good place for general Irish research info, as well as county-specific research info and maps, is http://scripts.ireland.com/ancestor/sitemap.htm (based on John Grenham's TRACING YOUR IRISH ANCESTORS, 2nd ed.). Hope that helps. Claire K. in the US
