CURRENT COUNTY NAMES- completed

[BrooklynGirl]

Hi,

I've just done some Griffith's Valuation research and am now a bit confused.  I was trying to match up county names on a current map of Ireland and couldn't find King's and Queens counties on the new map.

Can someone tell me the current county names for King's and Queen's counties?

I'm getting confused enough as it is what with all my irish ancestors respelling their names, etc., so any help is appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Kings County is now co.Offaly; Queens is now co.Laois.
Look at Genuki.org  for more info.

Cheers

Thanks so much, Mags.  Someone else just sent the same info.  Now I'm all set.

I must say that this is a very helpful chat board.  Thanks again.
