museumtom Posted 11 July , 2004 Share Posted 11 July , 2004 Craignageeragh means the rock of the sheep, and Ahoghill ( which is in County Antrim, Northern Ireland) means the ford of the Yew wood. Translating Irish townlands is a particular passion of mine. It aint much but its a start. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmond7 Posted 11 July , 2004 Author Share Posted 11 July , 2004 A great website! Highly recommended. Loved the Fusilier Profiles sub-section. Tom - try these for fun. Aughafatten; Derrykeighan; Carniny. All townlands in and around my home town. I've put some of my soldier research to a member of the local family history society. They were more interested in the townland addresses than anything else! Apparently they are now all being 'lost'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
