	Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, is unofficially known as "The North" (by nationalists and residents in the Republic of Ireland), "the Six Counties," by nationalists, and "Ulster," by unionists (although the province of Ulster also includes Donegal, Cavan, and Monaghan, which are in the Republic).
		The GAA is organised on an all-Ireland basis with all 32 counties competing; traditionally, counties first compete within their province, in the provincial championships, and the winners then compete in the All-Ireland senior hurling or football championships.
		Ireland's largest religious denomination is Roman Catholicism (about 70% for the entire island, and over 90% for the Republic), and most of the rest of the population adhere to one of the various Protestant denominations.

		People said that they came from A, B, or C, possibly in such and such a county in Ireland, and the thing is, that today, some people don't know if their ancestors were talking about the Civil Parish that they came from or the Religious parish or Barony or which division.
		In the Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837, we find Samuel Lewis describing Civil Parishes which are not listed in any Parish directory that we find today, and are not listed in the 'Index to Townlands etc' of 1851.
		Some cover only Sligo, while others take in parts of the surrounding counties or are districts whose main town is in another county and which covers only part of Co. Sligo.
