Translations: Place Names
Early 1800’s government translation project results: – Anglicized Irish place names– Different English spellings of same place name
Example:– Irish “cean” = head– Irish town Ceanearagh = “head of valley”– Ooops! Same town is recorded Canearagh on
census record and Keanearagh on birth record for same place
