An Index to Griffith’s Valuation of Ireland, 1848-1864

Description

This CD is an index to the greatest of all Irish genealogical resources, Griffith’s Valuation, or the Primary Valuation of Ireland . Carried out between 1848 and 1864 under the direction of Sir Richard Griffith, this survey of Ireland was intended to determine the amount of tax each person should pay towards the support of the poor within their poor law union. The Valuation is arranged by county, barony, poor law union, civil parish , and townland, and lists every landholder and every householder in Ireland–at that time about 1.25 million people.
