Multiple tidbits of Ulster information are posted below:
 
1) The Ulster Historical Foundation (UHF) has announced the availability of its new publication.


The Townland Atlas of Ulster offers an invaluable guide to the newcomer to the townland system as well as opening up the world of seventeenth-century records to the serious researcher. Although representing a snapshot in time, it is a dynamic snapshot - of relevance to the last 400 years of our history and society.


With detailed maps, fascinating insights, and meticulous research, this beautifully crafted book is the perfect companion for anyone passionate about their Irish family history and an ideal gift for friends and family this Christmas season.
