''Estate Records of the Irish Famine'' is an important book as it covers a significant period of intense immigration as a result of the devastating great potato famine. 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 reference numbers. {{FHL|763393|item|disp=FHL book 941.5 J73ea}} | |||
