Trish sent a follow-up to her recent presentation for those members who were interested in the historical maps for Ireland. She included the following explanation of how to use the site.
Here is a link to a great website for historical maps for Ireland. In the first paragraph is a hyperlink “Click here to view the entire archive of historic maps” You must “accept” their map viewer because there are 3 levels of maps superimposed. Choose the colored historic 6” map, and as you “drill” down to the area of interest more detail appears. The townlands become visible outlined in red and the townland details appear when you click on it. I simply use my snip-it tool rather than purchase maps.
