Land Records & Maps

Townlands, Parishes, etc.
Counties are made up of parishes and parishes are made up of a group of townlands. If you are doing any research in Ireland these divisions become extremely important.
For further information:
http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/records/land/townland.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townland
http://www.ancestryireland.com/database.php?filename=townlands

To find townlands, parishes, etc. in Ireland: www.seanruad.com
(change default setting from exact match to search for part of a word)

Griffith's Valuation: search by name or place, view original pages and sometimes maps: http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv_family_search_form.php
For an excellent article on the work of Sir Richard Griffith (go to bottom of page, select a Word or PDF version of article)

1777/8 Taylor & Skinner Road Maps of Ireland- "This remarkable and exceptionally rare edition of the first road map of Ireland. The maps were commissioned by the House of Commons in Ireland, and contain 289 pages of maps. The index for these detailed maps shows distances in English and Irish miles. The maps themselves show copious topographical details, like forests, hills, farm land, mills, houses, churches, etc. The large houses also give the owners names."
(note: page says 1877 which is incorrect)
