Additional Considerations

You can sharpen your search by refining the exact geographic region which can be tricky in a foreign land not to mention that place names do change over time. Swilson.info has some helpful resources to navigate the Townlands and Places. Their database covers the Townlands, Towns, Parishes & Baronies of Ireland and is based on an old book from 1861. The Townland search provides the associated Civil Parish, Barony, Poor law Union and County. The Townland explorer allows you to browse by county name and then to see the associated Poor Law Unions, Barony, and Civil Parishes.
