Land Records & Maps
Townlands, Parishes, etc.

Geneva Barracks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_Barracks) was originally known as "New Geneva". The site was intended to house refugees from Switzerland who had been invited to settle there following the 1783 failed rebellion against the ruling French and Swiss alliance in Europe. As artisans, they were valued for their knowledge and skills. The colony collapsed so the government took over the site and built barracks to house companies of militia newly raised following the outbreak of war between France and Britain in 1793. The barracks gained notoriety as a holding centre for rebel prisoners during and after the 1798 rebellion.
