Book Description

From the Publisher
This is the master placename index of the IGF, now released by the Irish Family Journal. Every place name and its location on the 19th century map collection (all maps are reprinted here) is indexed, and easily found on the maps!
Furthermore, we have added the 17th century placename index, showing older place names not found today, and older ways place names were spelled. Over 20,000 listings in this section alone. Included are modern parish listings in for comparison. Also included are baronies, townlands, places, diocese, poor law unions and registrar districts.
The classic commentary of P.W. Joyce is found in the appendix, outlining common spelling changes, along with additional district and barony maps of Ireland. Charts of common variant spellings, prefix and suffix changes; placenames with more than one location are listed; 17th century map examples, along with an introduction to understanding Irish place names, regional divisions and sources for further research!
This hardbound volume completes the 'Master Book' series ( A Companion Book to The Complete Book of Irish Family Names.)

A "Master" book, Mar 21 2001
By M.S. Nickle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Master Book of Irish Placenames: Master Atlas and Book of Irish Placenames (Hardcover)
This is a great book for genealogical researchers- for beginners or seasoned researchers, this book will give you the places to either start your search, or give you ideas on places you have not thought of.

I found Skeafe, Aug 16 2001
By Jennifer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Master Book of Irish Placenames: Master Atlas and Book of Irish Placenames (Hardcover)
I found Skeafe in County Cork in the 17th Century! Plus this book is hardbound which really helps because I can really tear through the paperbacks. It is the first place I look.

Not the best for geographic place names, Dec 22 2000
By Karen J. Lowe - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Master Book of Irish Placenames: Master Atlas and Book of Irish Placenames (Hardcover)
We were looking for a book that explained the origin of Irish place names, but this wasn't it. This is a fine book for genealogical researchers, as it associates surnames with places. If you're looking for the Irish Gaelic origins of place names, try to find a copy of "Dictionary of Irish Place Names" by Adrian Room. We were glad to score the last copy from a distributor.I'm sure Mr. O'Laughlin is a great researcher in his field, but I'm disappointed that we were a bit misled by this book's title and didn't find what we were looking for. I'm sure we'll put the book to good use eventually, though!
