Ceathrú na Cléithe

I have spent many years talking about the need to search for places using many spellings.  This week I was delighted to find the website Logainm.ie.  Here you will find references to places in Ireland, many starting centuries ago with not only the IRISH name for the place, but also a multitude of other spellings.  While the website does not have links to all these records, it's mission being the gathering of Place Names, it does give information on them.  With that in hand it might be possible to find lists of occupants and more that were previously unknown.  So....my next few posts on both my Irish family websites will be about the known townlands of ancestors.  The maps included in the Mayo County posts are from the collection of the Mayo County Library. Don't stop with the historic maps, the mapping tool is fun to use and really helps put our Mayo places in perspective.  There are multiple layering capabilities.  Be sure to try the people tab.  Type in your surname and you can see concentrations of the name at the time of the Griffith's Valuations and/or the 1901 Census.  Needless to say, between the two sites I lost an entire day.
