Counties in Time - Documents and commentaries from the National Archives of Ireland

Ref: ENE-C006

The Counties in Time CD-ROM aims to introduce a sample of the records held in the National Archives of Ireland to a wide audience. The records chosen exist, in nearly all cases, for the 32 counties of Ireland, and cover the period from the late sixteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. The National Archives is used extensively by local and family historians from all over the country and from abroad, as well as by political, economic, social and administrative historians. Local history is a growing area of interest for many people, and it is hoped that Counties in Time will alert them, and many others, to the rich archival heritage preserved in the National Archives.

The CD contains almost 1000 documents, including sixteenth century Chancery Pleadings, seventeenth century Books of Survey and Distribution, eighteenth century Proclamations, nineteenth century Famine papers, and twentieth century records of the first Dail. There are scanned images for almost all of the documents, transcripts for those which are difficult to read, and explanatory introductions to all of the record classes. There are short illustrated county histories for each county, covering the period from the late sixteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. There is a glossary of terms, like “conacre”, “Whiteboy” and “cess”, and a timeline which provides a short chronology of Irish history since the sixteenth century, and gives details on several key national issues that are referred to in the county histories. There is a guide to using original records for historical research. The CD is easy to navigate and user-friendly, with an extensive “Help” section.

Counties in Time will be invaluable for local and family historians in Ireland and abroad, post-primary teachers and pupils, and individuals interested in Ireland\'s archival heritage. The variety of the documents included, ranging from proclamations against Catholics holding arms during the penal days to family returns for the 1901 and 1911 Censuses, from the records of seventeenth century land redistribution to police reports on 1930s IRA activity, and from mid-nineteenth century crime reports to 1867 photographs of Fenian suspects, is testimony to the riches in the custody of the National Archives of Ireland.

Ref: ENE-C002

This petition, signed by over 80,000 people from every part of Ireland and from Liverpool, Manchester, and other parts of England, between 1848 and 1849, is a unique historical and genealogical source from the period of the Famine. Following the failure of the 1848 rising, O\'Brien was sentenced to death, and this petition was collected to gain clemency for the rebel leader. As a consequence his sentence was commuted and O\'Brien was transported to Australia for life. Ruth Lawler has compiled and edited this petition for publication to enable all researchers to access this important, yet unknown, source.

Irish Records Index Vol.3 - The 1851 Dublin City Census

Ref: ENE-C003

Ireland was one of the first European countries to adopt hereditary surnames. Nine centuries of change, along with our history of immigration, colonisation and linguistic upheaval, have produced an extraordinary legacy: Gaels, Vikings, Normans, Scots, Welsh, English, French Huguenots, German Palatines - all have added to the rich mix of what it means to be Irish, and to the long list of surnames borne by the Irish.

The destruction of the 19th century Irish Census returns is probably the greatest loss that genealogy in Ireland has suffered. Prior to the destruction of the 1851 census, Dr. D.A. Chart of the Public Record Office compiled a comprehensive list of the names and addresses of heads of households for Dublin City.

This unique genealogical source has now been edited and converted to database format by SeଠMagee making it available to all researchers worldwide. It contains over 60,000 names and addresses (and some occupations) in the city of Dublin. This CD-ROM also contains scanned images of the original 1847 Ordnance Survey Town Plans of Dublin City, courtesy of Dublin Corporation. These 33 maps contain remarkable detail of all the streets and houses within the city at this time, to help users identify specific addresses.

Irish Records Index Vol.4 - The 1831 Tithe Defaulters

Ref: ENE-C007

The records compiled in this CD-ROM are the most important evidence we have of the people involved in the infamous Tithe War 1831-38. All occupants of land were required to pay an annual tithe (or religious tax) of 10% of the agricultural produce generated by that holding. This money was demanded from all landholders, irrespective of their religion, and was paid directly to the official state church, the Anglican (Episcopalian) Church of Ireland.

However, in 1831 many people refused to pay this tithe, and so started the Tithe War, which was fiercest in the southeast. The names that appear on this CD are of those people recorded by the Church of Ireland clergy who refused to pay their tithe. The CD contains all personal details from the original files, as well as copious information about the parishes that the people resided in. The people most affected by the Tithe War are precisely those most affected by emigration and the famine in the next generation. It includes:

Details of nearly 30,000 individual defaulters
Addresses, occupations and all other details about the defaulters appearing on the original record
Complete records for 232 parishes
Full text of every application to the Clergy Relief Fund
Help files and detailed introduction

Irish Records Index Vol.5 - Returning Home

Ref: ENE-C010

Transatlantic Migration from North America to Britain & Ireland 1858-1870. The records compiled on this CD-ROM provide a valuable insight into transatlantic passenger travel during the period 1858-1870. Owing to the threat of a Fenian uprising in Ireland, and because of the large amounts of Irishmen living in America, Dublin Castle ordered that the incoming passenger lists for all the major ports of Britain and Ireland, of passengers arriving from America, be submitted to them for scrutiny. The American Civil War, 1861-1865, only made the threat from America more real in government officials’ eyes.

However, Irish names are just one part of this collection. Scottish, English and Americans names were also recorded. The figures breakdown as follows:

Irish 27%
English 27%
Scottish 30%
Americans 1%
Others 15%

As well as providing details on the names of individuals you can also discover in which class they travelled, their final destination, age, marital status and even occupation. It is the most complete list known to exist. It includes:

Over 42,000 names and details of passengers
Information on over 150 ships
And the 815 voyages undertaken
Help files and detailed introduction

This CD-ROM is a must for all those studying migration from North America to Britain, Ireland and Continental Europe, as well as the passenger ships that carried them.
