Land records are valuable genealogical sources, because they may reveal where and when your ancestor lived and where they previously lived; family information, such as the names of children, heirs, spouse, other relatives, and neighbours; the occupation your ancestor pursued; other records that may mention your ancestor; and the progression of estate ownership or tenancy from one generation to another.<ref name="Ireland Research Outline">The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

[[Image:Ireland Countryside.jpg|thumb|right|234x312px | [[Image:Ireland Countryside.jpg|thumb|right|234x312px]]Estate records are another valuable set of property records. Most Irish lived on large estates owned by a minority of the population. Land owners usually hired agents to keep records of transactions involving their families and/or their tenants. Estate records vary in content and duration and may include deeds, leases, rent rolls, and account books, among other records. A brief explanation of estate records is found in "Land Records" in John Grenham, ''Tracing Your Irish Ancestors: The Complete Guide''. | ||
