The web site below has three separate search options to locate places in Ireland.

Since each jurisdiction keeps different kinds of records it is important to know which jurisdictions covered the place where your ancestor lived.

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.
