Again use the Ire-Atlas Database mentioned previously. If it doesn't come up as a townland with your spelling then use only the first portion of the word and chose the option to only match beginning. Also if it won't come up as a townland--try it as a parish, etc. Another site I have found very easy to use is: http://www.traveljournals.net/explore/ireland/locations/a/index/1.html You have to click on beginning letter of the place you are looking for then you'll get another list with from and to places listed - decide where it falls alphabetically in the listings, click that and finally you'll get to where you need to go. -------------- Original message from "Marie Goforth-Allen" <kentucky@frontiernet.net>: -------------- > I forgot to ask where Ballinlena is located.
