List of Parishes and Townlands in Co. Cavan

Click HERE if you need help with research

This effort below is probably done better somwhere else because I can't believe I would be the first to be confused as to the differing names of parishes, ie civil, religious, Gaelic named, English names, shifting borders between counties and between Baronies --- it gets very confusing. So below is some examples I have found. The religious records indicated by each own symbol does not mean there are records available but rather that there was known to be a church of that religion in some unknown time period.

If anyone has more complete or better organized or can add anything to this effort please contact me at abeagan@adelphia.net
