The web site below has three separate search options to locate places in Ireland.
- Finding the different levels of location with Townland and County
- Finding Civil Parishes within a County
- Finding Baronies within a County
This online data base can be used to find the various land divisions in which a townland in Ireland is located. A townland is a small geographical unit of land and is often the location given for an ancestor’s birthplace.
Content[edit | edit source]

Tips[edit | edit source]
One must have the correct spelling of the townland.
If the initial search indicates that you may not have the correct spelling of a townland, search for the name of the county where the townland should be and resubmit.
If you submit only a county a very huge file of the townlands will be generated.
