Baronies & Townlands, Co. Donegal, Ireland
Baronies: Up to the end of the nineteenth century, counties were subdivided into baronies, although they were not much used for administrative purposes and thus figure little in the records relevant to genealogical research. There were about 325 baronies in the whole of Ireland, with eight or parts of eight in Donegal. When a civil parish spans more than one Barony, the parish page will indicate to which Barony a townland belongs. Occasionally a townland spans two Baronies; in such cases there are two entries for that townland in the parish page.
