Offering insight into the relevance of each different land division and what records were kept at each level, this publication will also include brightly illustrated maps for each of the 78 baronies (as well as identifying, indexing and naming all 16,000 townlands) in the 9 counties of Ulster, showing the civil, Anglican and Roman Catholic parish boundaries and the all-important estates.
