Title: Is Gurteenamuck near Ballina?
Post by: clogdancer on Saturday 15 June 19 14:47 BST (UK)
I found in the Dublin birth / baptism records what might be my ancestors Martin Loftus and Nancy Clarke as Godparents, with the child's parents being from Gurthteennamuc... (the end of the word truncated)
The record following cites Gurteenamuck.
But where is it?

South of Ballina and off the N26.

Have they renumbered the roads? 
I thought it was the N57 that runs south from Ballina.

They renumbered it in 1994.

Thank you, KG.  I'm still living in the past.

Was hoping to be able to scan the relevant portion of map for clogdancer,
but I don't have that sheet (otherwise I would have discovered the N26).
