Ireland

descriptions from Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837

Index to those places beginning with the letter 'F, G, J and K'

Lewis's Topographical Dictionary can help us identify places for which we may not find the name listed in any townland directory such as that on the IreAtlas web site. The spellings of placenames in these volumes are as written at that time, they differ from spellings that are found on other documentation. Lewis tells us of the various industries in areas around the country, civil and religious parishes are identified, churches described. It is an invaluable tool to the genealogist, a most interesting read for those who want to find out that bit more without having to delve into historical manuscripts. Some of the entries are but a few lines long and then others give us history, geography, annecdotes, superstitions, the life of the people in an area.

It is intended to add to this list regularly

The description for any place listed here can be found by opening the appropriate county link at the bottom of this page
