I contacted him. His reply is The detail maps of the Clew Bay area are from the Ordnance Survey. It says that the base maps are from 1975 and were updated in 1999. This surprised me, because at least from the 1960s, the family use Belclare as the townland name. Remember stopping at the post office for some reason years ago and got into a discussion re: old townland names and the new ones. I know the names show up on the various sites which is good for people researching. The names if they got them for townland, were from their ancestors who emigrated in the 19th and early 20th century. Yes, I would assume so. Didn't check it out because I'm on Ancestry.com so use that link. 1900 Federal Census was the first one for this area which actually put street names on the side of each sheet. Earlier census did not which makes some research difficult unless you know the wards. Which also changed over the years. Street names also changed in 1906 which even further complicates research. I'm not at home, so do not have those websites but if someone would like them for the Wards of Cuyahoga County, The street name changes, etc. I can put them online tomorrow morning. Baby sitting and decided to check my mail.

There are still postal addys that include both townlands. So the date his maps are from make a difference as well as his source, where he got them. Map details depended on when the maps were done, the early Ordnance Survey maps from the early 1800s weren't complete or accurate. He's also got a link to the 1900 census maps that doesn't open. Are those supposed to be Cleveland census maps for 1900? There wasn't an Irish census in 1900. --- Mary Ellen Chambers wrote: > He doesn't say but I assume that before the time > when my family's townland Streamstown was still > known as by that name.
