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.
