WHAT ONLINE RECORDS HELP TO IDENTIFY IRISH PLACE NAMES?
Database transcripts of the 1851 Townlands Index are available at:
• www.irishtimes.com/ancestor

• maps.osi.ie, the website of Ordnance Survey Ireland, which includes fully searchable free copies of the six-inch and 25-inch to the mile 19th century surveys of Ireland.
OpenStreetMap is built by a community of mappers that contribute and maintain data about roads, trails, cafés, railway stations, and much more, all over the world.
