Dear friends of Beara, I've just learned that the Tithe Applotment Books from 1824-1827 are now online at http://www.genealogy.nationalarchives.ie/ The National Archives has just launched a new web site for Irish Genealogy resource materials genealogy.nationalarchives.ie The actual images if the 1820's Tithe Applotment Books are there as well as the 1901 and 1911 Census and a database of soldier's Wills from 1914-17. That's it for now but they say there's lots more to come. For Beara folks, I used the "browse by location" option, clicking first on Cork for the county, and then Kilcatherine for the parish. (Thank you, Riobard. I wouldn't have known to do that if not for you.) I found Edmond Power in Brandy Hall, as expected. I'll look for Hollands and Lowneys later today as time permits. I note that the Kilcatherine record is nowhere near as neat or orderly as the Applotment Book page for my Carlow relatives. Maybe the enumerators just weren't as careful in Beara? -- Bill
