In all genealogical work the first and most important step  is to establish the geographical origin of the ancestor. In Irish research the  genealogist may know the name of the county where the ancestor lived but be  puzzled about a place name given as the place of birth or residence. In all  probability the place-name is that of a townland, the smallest territorial  subdivision in Ireland. Since research in Ireland will usually start at the  parish level, there must be a reference tool that will key the townland to the  parish in which it is located.
This work was prepared under the auspices of the British  government for almost that purpose. The over 900 densely printed pages show the  county, barony, parish, and poor law union in which the 70,000 townlands were  situated in 1851, as well as the location of the townlands on the Great Ordnance  Survey maps, with appendices containing separate indexes to parishes and  baronies.
