Rinne mé an léarscáil seo mar chabhair ar mo chuid taighde ginealais i gCo. Shligigh Theas.  Is mór an cúnamh é beagán tuiscint a bheith agat ar tíreolaíoch áitiúil agus tú ag déanamh taighde den chineál seo!  Níl a fhios agam an mbeadh sé fóinteach do dhuine eile, ach seo é.  Fuair mé cuid mhaith den eolas ó townlands.ie agus openstreetmap.org.  Is féidir le gach aon duine mapaí mar seo a chruthú ag uMap.

Rugadh mo mháthair ar An gCoill Ramhar sa bhliain 1917 agus ba é Nic Giolla Mhártain/Gilmartin a sloinne breithe.

I made this map as an aide in doing family research in southern Co. Sligo.  It’s a great help to have a bit of an understaning of local geography when you’re doing this sort of research.  I don’t know if it would be useful to anyone else, but here it is.  I got a lot of this info from townlands.ie and openstreetmap.org.  Anyone can create maps like this at uMap.

My mother was born in Coolrawer (Cloonraver) in 1917 and Gilmartin/Nic Giolla Mhártain was her maiden name.
