    3. The Library of Congress sells the Ordnance Survey maps for about US$11.50 as does the Irish Genealogical Society International, PO Box 16585, St. Paul MN 55116. You must specify which OS you want. These are are Second Edition, 1900, 6 inches to the mile. The Valuation Office sells the 6 inch: mile map, which is the map made at the time of Griffith's Valuation, for IRpunt 20 Irish townland maps for MAYO FHLC 6342449 at US15 cents per sheet. Microreproduction of original maps compiled by the trainees of Derry Youth and Community Workshop and employees of the Inner City Trust. Funded by the Department of Economic Development. [Supervisor:] Brian Mitchell. Project Director: Patrick L. Doherty. You need the OS map to get the full view as the maps drawn by this group are not all to the same scale and only have the townlands in a parish. I can see the relative locations for three generations on two maps pasted together. We really need the Jeep in Ireland, not in San Diego! Without the sun to give us the clue as to directionality, we get lost a lot but then, we get to talk with the locals and hear the interesting speech patterns giving directions.
