Fabulous resource Nick. I wish I had ancestors from the area so I could use it!.

I particularly like the "Notes associated with the name" - this will be a huge help to anyone trying to figure out those complicated sounding place names which we all presume have a meaning.

I'm puttting this in my favourites.  :)
