 Ireland & Northern Ireland  Genealogy & History Resources ATLAS - Memorial Atlas of Ireland, Showing Provinces, Counties, Baronies, Parishes, Etc [1901] By L. J. Richards Originally published by L. J. Richards, Philadelphia, 1901 This edition published by Global Heritage Press, Milton 2011 (on CD )
The maps that are included in this atlas are of great value to those researching families or history in Ireland. Being printed in 1901 the atlas illustrates Ireland as it was known at the time, and for many decades prior, including defining the boundaries of provinces, counties, baronies, and parishes and identifying villages, towns, cities and landmarks. The "Combined Geographical Directory and Classified Index" lists all known places and directs the reader to the map that the place appears on, and the co-ordinates of the place on the map. More than just the names of municipalities, the index lists castles, churches, cottages, courts, houses, islands, junctions, lakes, baronies, heads (as in a place), mountains, parishes, points, rocks (as in a place), rivers, schools, and stations. This extensive index is organized alphabetically, is 10 columns wide and 21 pages long. Each page is 13 X 19". All that to say that it is hard to imagine that any place went un-indexed. The final page is an alphabetical list of those who contributed to the publication, including their names, residence (most being a city and state or a county in Ireland) and nativity (most being a city and state or a county in Ireland). List of maps included:
