The names of the counties are those in modern use. And they are referred to individually with the word 'county' coming before the name, not after. So, if your ancestors came from Clare, they would have said they came from County Clare, not from Clare County.

The only exceptions were 'King's County' and 'Queen's County' which have now reverted to their former names of County Offaly and County Laois respectively.
