Can anyone tell me what Irish county Tullyselferty is or was in?

For several years, I have been helping subscribers of various county genealogy mailing lists from the Republic find various townlands, etc. I joined these lists as a means of gleaning some historical information (I don't do any genealogy) about places of interest to me - I make regular trips to Ireland to photograph Early Christian (and a bit of Romanesque medieval, too) sites. But things turned around. Although I still do "my" thing, I found myself acquiring more source material for helping others in their quests - very unlike me to be eleemosynary however, I'm afraid.

I have since acquired all of the Discovery Series maps, whatever Discoverer maps I need to complete the coverage of the Republic, the full set of 169 Townland Index maps which show all of the townland boundaries in the lower 26 counties........and I have the entire Townland Listings from the mid-1800's on convenient Excel files. So I'm pretty well set. Oh yes, and I projected transparencies of the county civil parish maps onto the Discovery maps with my photo enlarger and traced-in (with a highlighter) all of the CP borders, to quicken my searches for townlands.

In the particular case in question, I just went to the late John Broderick's seanruad.com website, and entered Tully in the search engine - checking "beginning with" in the box. I got, as I recall, 588 Tully-related townlands, but was able to quickly scan down until Tullyshelferty appeared. Then to Brian Mitchell's "A New Genealogical Atlas of Ireland" for the civil parish location, then to the Discoverer map (where it doesn't appear) and then to the Townland Index maps (where it does). Referring back to the Discoverer map, I then placed it. Simple. And surprisingly quicker than all of the time it took me to describe the process !!!!!

I hate to be such a bother. . . .oh, who am I trying to kid? I'm female. That's what we do best. giggle
All joking aside, is there any chance that you could email either the map for Tully-- to either this site, or my personnal email?

I have a feeling that I'm going to need it, as I think a good share of my paternal rellies were from there originally, rather than England as we always thought.
Anyway, I sure would appreciate it if you could email the Co. Monaghan map, or at least that part that we've been talking about. So far, I haven't gotten into the mapping aspect myself. Yet.
