    3. The way to check on which townlands are on a film is to go to the Family History Library search page: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp Plug the number of the film in the box where it says Fiche or Film search. The page that comes up will have a list of the parishes on the film. Now click on the Parish you are interested in. Or one by one click on them all. Now click on the VIEW FILM NOTES button in the upper right hand corner. One of the films will go with your film number. For instance the film we are doing now is #0846677. The description reads: 1901 D.E.D. 6/1, 21-23; D.E.D. 7/1-3, 19 Now scroll down looking for the 1911 films that match those D.E.D. numbers. 1911 Ballymahon D.E.D. 6/1 Townland: Cornacarta. 1911 Ballymahon D.E.D. 6/21-23 Townlands: Knappoge, Lislom, Tipper. 1840141 1911 Cashel East D.E.D. 7/1-3, 19 Townlands: Derryglogher, Derrynaskea, Derryoghil, Corlea. The 1911 census description gives the townland names, so that is how you can figure out which townlands are on a 1901 film. IF - you are starting from scratch to locate your film, you do a PLACE search instead of a Fiche or Film Search. Put in the name of the parish your townland is in. If you don't know the parish - use the Townland database to find the parish. http://www.seanruad.com I hope this all makes sense. It works.
