This "census" was probably taken during Petty's survey between December 1654 and the year 1659. It details the names of the large estate owners and the numbers of Protestants and Catholics in each parish. The original clan names are also noted with the numbers of individuals of that surname.

The Civil Survey was taken from 1654 - circa 1660. It was a survey of the holdings of landowners, their titles and tenures of their estates. Twenty-seven counties were included in the survey covering the provinces of Ulster, Leinster, Muster and a portion of Connaught. The '''Strafford Survey '''compiled c.1636 is available for the County of Mayo in the province of Connaught and serves as a substitute. For the Civil Survey, see: Simington, Robert C., editor.

These are roll calls of officers and men in each military regiment. They exist for the 17th – 20th centuries. For example, the listing for the year 1631 lists 13,092 names of men and officers in the muster rolls. A detailed listing of these records is found in Gibson, Jeremy and Alan Dell.

=== Griffith's Valuation === | === Griffith's Valuation === | ||
Commonly known by the name of the originator, Richard Griffith, the "Griffith's Valuation" replaced the Tithe Applotment records as the means for collecting fees on tenements and land. The Griffith's Valuation was the original assessment and was conducted in the 1850's and 1860's. This record is also indexed in the Householder's Index mentioned above. The common mistake made by researchers is to cease the search after locating a potential ancestor in this record. Subsequent valuations were taken annually throughout the remainder of the nineteenth century and tracing a plot of ground through the later valuations can often give clues of death, migration, emigration, or the transfer of the property to another tenant or descendant.
