I certainly wasted a lot of time and effort by relying on a transcription. Back in 1984, i requested the death certificate of my gg grandmother Frances Elliott Bell. A clerk from the Ontario archives sent me back the information with the birthplace transcribed as "ireland". big deal I thought as I already knew that so I just filed it away & went in other directions. Recently I decided to track down the actual death certificate. Hard to find because they had her down as a male named Francis and the death was registered in 1893 although she died in Sept 1892. Anyways the actual death certificate had birthplace "County Monahan, Ireland". Grr, never trust transcriptions. Lesson learned. > > > > murray > > > > > > On Nov 19, 2011, at 10:13 AM, lmerle@comcast.net wrote: > > > > > Hi Murray, thanks for the tip on the Monaghan list.

Frankly, every time I do work like this I re-google because it is a dynamic situation. The sites I used before might have been superceded. I don't think you need townlands of Monaghan. You just need townlands of the parish. If there is not another townland with the second name in the parish, then even if it does exist, it is not in the parish you are interested in. It's not hard at all to create a list of townlands by parish using a table in Word, OpenOffice, various spreadsheets, etc. Just add a code for the source or you'll not be sure where you got the info. Paste them in, update, then sort, if you want. > > > > > > Unfortunately proximity to Northern Ireland isn't what matters. It's about repositories and budgets, etc. PRONI has great townland maps for Northern Ireland. What site in the Republic has similar? I don't know. I don't research much down there. I delight doing so because then I learn, but my most recent work was in Limerick and Kerry and I don't even recall where I got townland maps at the moment! I also own "Families of County Kerry", which came in mighty handy. > > > > > > This site has some great resources, including geographical names: > > > http://ahd.exis.net/monaghan/default.htm and early maps.

Ie, create a spreadsheet for parishes and townlands, copy it all in with the name of the soruce for the info (or I guarentee you'll regret it -- use a number for each source,,,faster. Be sure to paste in source info and corresponding number). Then sort away. You can then at least prove there are not two townlands with these names. Then see if one of the websites will host it. That'll earn you brownie points and maybe some free help. > > > > > > I got some similar posts that I think have been waiting for an answer for 20 years.

"Real genealogists" use real books and manuscripts and visit real repositories <grin>. These places definitely have more good stuff than the Internet, but it is harder to find. However I google a lot. Sometimes it is easier to use materials on lines. Some old maps can be zoomed up and viewed easier on line, for example. So I am not very PC either <grin>. I am also lazy. However were I wanting some day to publish my findings in a semi-respectable book or article, I'd consider viewing the actual source by ordering microfilm or visiting the FHL in Salt Lake, PRONI, etc. The reason is transcription errors do occur, I need a vacation once in a while, and lastly websites are very transient. It's like trying to use dead witnesses to a murder in a trial. Criminals murder witnesses because once dead, they can't give testimony.

Unfortunately Monaghan is not in the Placenames of Ulster series, near as I know. This series provides the history of not only each townland but other placenames (villages, etc). It would tell you if the two names are for the same place. So you will need to consult some atlases as well as histories of Monaghan and the parish. Also note the landlord and estate.

There were various types of Methodists and their circuits overlapped. You need to check any Methodist records you can find within that is nearby, ignoring parishes, just as if researching in the USA you would ignore county and township lines, knowing the ancestors had legs and horses and could cross them at will. > > >> > > >> Often we hope -- or I sure did and still do -- someone has the answers to our questions. No one ever seemed to have mine so I had to learn to find them myself. It seems for Irish genealogy nothing is simple.

I recently discovered that Frances Elliott was born in County Monaghan.
