    3. I do not believe this has yet been posted to these groups. My apologies if this is old information. I don't know how long these maps have been online, but I stumbled across this last night. It's very exciting, especially for those researching in Northern Ireland. The search functionality does not return results but the maps are still viewable in Co. Monaghan. You will need to navigate by eye south of the border. However, if you are searching above the border, a townland name or street will return locations. A login is required, but you can sign up here: https://maps.osni.gov.uk/Login.aspx Once you have logged in, choose the second option: "Browse and Query Maps in GeoHub NI" for the most detailed maps. Play around with the controls up top. The print button allows you to exporrt to html or pdf any of the maps. The measure button helps see how far from your townland it is to where the ruined church y9our ancestors attended. Also, you can measure area to see for example how many acress that lake is. Helpful for me to get my bearings on the maps.... VERY COOL. (if you're a map geek like me) Cheers, Eric McQuaid [email protected] Plano, Texas, USA McQuaid, Kelly, McMahon, Clerkin Co. Monaghan, Co.
