The first link (by administrator Sarah) takes me to ancestry.com, not any old map page.  The second link (by stanmapstone) doesn't work.  I am very good at using the computer, so I don't think it's a "user error" issue.  Just thought I'd let you know, thanks!

Since that post five years ago the site has changed to http://valentine.dur.ac.uk/pip/index.html
You can search the catalogue for "Maps" under SUBJECT SEARCH

No problem, stanmapstone, and thank you Sarah.  I am new to RootsChat.com, and didn't notice the dates were old.  I'll try to note the age of the posts in future replies.

Thanks again.
