Gentle listers, At this URL: http://www.flickr.com/photos/andyairriess/sets/72157604322031931/ I've uploaded the following maps that you'll find at the bottom of the items on that page: 16 maps of post roads from 1778 of mostly Counties Down and Antrim. They are quite detailed and contain detail down to the single house. The towns detailed in the maps are contained in the description, but the title should give you an idea of the route. Large old maps of Counties Down and Antrim. I'm not sure of their age, I'm guessing late 1800s. but, particularly at larger sizes, you can see a lot of detail. 3 old engravings of Belfast. Two are the same except one is a colored version of the other (Belfast Lough from Cave Hill) and the other is Belfast from Newtownards (1869). When you click on one of the images, select "All Sizes" above it to view it at the resolution you like. The larger the size, the more detail you will see. I hope you enjoy them and find them useful in your research. Andy Airriess Researching McCORMICK in Belfast and environs, BOYD in Down and Belfast
Yes, I have indeed checked out the Forsythe Rootsweb messages/archives. I have communicated with several of those individuals. Thank you for the suggestion.
