There have been several questions about maps lately. Here is mygo-to list for maps (from my web page on Places.). My usual place to start is: Ordnance Survey of Ireland <http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,591271,743300,0> Or else, the maps associated with Griffiths Valuations on the /Ask About Ireland/ Site <http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/>. Mapco has an 1838 map of Ireland <http://ireland1838.com/ireland43.htm>which can be viewed in enlarged segments. For maps of Ireland in the 1650s: The Down Survey of Ireland <http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/history.html> hosted by Trinity College is an amazing site. You can also do a search <http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php> and learn a great deal more about how the early maps relate to later ones. A site that tracks population changes in Irish parishes from 1841 to 2002: Irish Famine Population Data <http://ncg.nuim.ie/redir.php?action=projects/famine/explore> A site that is now one of my go-to places when I want to see adjacent townlands is:http://www.townlands.ie/ <http://www.townlands.ie/> Wikipedia is useful for tracking down varient townland names, as is the Sean Ruad site <http://www.thecore.com/seanruad/>. To track the Irish versions of names that preceded the English version:Placenames Database of Ireland <http://www.logainm.ie/> To track down English, Scots, or Irish place names: Place names in Northern Ireland <http://www.placenamesni.org/index.php> Bob Sinton's townland maps: http://www.bob-sinton.com/maps2/mapsx.php Townlands superimposed on contemporary maps: http://ireland.kiwicelts.com/irishMap/ireMap.html A wonderful site for Monaghan maps is done by Monaghan County <http://193.178.1.178/Monaghan_allcounty_gplan/>. For Dublin, see the 1798 Dublin Map at Mapco: Mapco <http://dublin1798.com/> Another great site is Dennis Garvey's site for parishes and townlands in Co. Louth <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Edgarvey/louth_townlands.htm>.. <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Edgarvey/louth_townlands.htm>I also did a blog post that although it is about a townland in Armagh, the same strategy is pertinent for other counties. http://sharonoddiebrown.blogspot.ca/2013/11/the-tale-of-townland.html Good luck all! Sharon PS I will be in Ireland April 11- May 13 (or so). I start in Dublin, and will be in Armagh April 25-29, then Gilford Co. Down Apr 29-May 13.
