== Smith's Inventory of Genealogical Sources == | |||
The above list is of major collections that serve as census substitutes but there are many smaller collections or lists that could be considered census substitutes, such as a list of names of people in just one parish. | |||
A helpful source to determine whether any Irish census substitutes have been printed in publications held in the collection of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City is ''Smith's Inventory of Genealogical Sources'''': Ireland''. This 34-volume work includes volumes for each county and two general volumes for the country. The work is in book form at the library and is also available on microfiche 6110527 (a set of 18 fiche) which can be ordered and sent to family history centers. | |||
