[OHM] Transfer of historic boundary relations from OSM to OHM

In Ireland we have about 61,000 small townland boundaries mapped. They are
500 years or more old. In the 1800s and 1900s various groups of them were
combined from time to time as Electoral districts, townships etc.
I have added 5 versions of the township of Rathmines from 1847 to 1900 to
OSM. see   Rathmines relation/6144159 and Rathmines & Rathgar
relation/6144160. I am interested in how to export these from OSM and
import them into OHM without re-drawing them which would not be feasible
without the townlands.

Please also indicate how suitable electoral districts, births registration
districts, petty session court districts, baronies,
parliamentary constituencies, church parishes and dioceses, and the Dublin
metropolitan Police Division etc , mostly 1700s, 1800 and some 1900s might
be for inclusion in OHM.

For anyone interested in examples of this OSM data used on an external web
page, they can be viewed at dublinhistoricmaps.ie under the various
boundaries tags.

Thank you.
