Any one interested in historic maps? I just found some good ones.

Question

Being a ex navigator, I love old maps. I just came across Historical Atlas Of ModernEurope. R.LanePoole1902 at https://ia802302.us.archive.org/12/items/HistoricalAtlasOfModernEurope.R.LanePoole1902/ Lots of great detail on each map.

I like https://ia802302.us.archive.org/12/items/HistoricalAtlasOfModernEurope.R.LanePoole1902/Map%2029%20Early%20Ireland.jpg the best. Lots of surnames for Ireland

Answer 1

Thank you for posting the link to these maps Richard. It is always nice to have a reference to places and old maps have a wealth of knowledge we can gleam from them.

 

Happy researching,

Wendy
