This program is a vital tool for British research. The county and map reference of over 15000 parishes covering the UK and Ireland are contained in this excellent database. Please note that not all the program's functions can be used for Irish parishes. It will produce a list of Parishes in any County or a list of parishes within a given radius of any other parish. Counties are listed using the three lettered Chapman County Codes abbreviations.
