Ireland Land and Property: Difference between revisions

Land records are a particularly valuable genealogical resource. These records may reveal where and when your ancestor lived and where they previously lived. Often, family relationships and information may be stated or inferred such as the names of spouses, children, heirs, other relatives, and neighbors. Additionally, the occupation and social status of your ancestor may be gleaned from these records. It is not uncommon to trace multi-generations in land records. Estate ownership and tenancy from one generation to another was an integral part of the Irish land system.<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>

To locate estate records you need to know the name of the estate owner. If you can locate your ancestor in Griffith's Primary Valuation, you may also find the name of the owner of the estate on which your ancestor lived.<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span> A helpful Web site that explains what information is in Griffith's, searchable by place or surname, is found at [http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml Ask About Ireland].  

''Estate Records of the Irish Famine'' is an important book detailing a significant period of intense emigration as a result of the devastating potato famine of the 1840's. The book is arranged by county and then alphabetically by surname of the proprietor of the estate. Each entry includes the time period of the records, what the records include (rentals, tenancy returns, lists of evicted tenants, maps, etc.), the repository where the records are held, and the archival reference numbers. {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>|763393|item|disp=FS Library book 941.5 J73ea}}
