> > >Several web sites have parts of the Griffiths Tithe and Evaluation records >online. > There are two different data bases they you seem to have a bit mixed. The first is known as the Tithe Applotments done at various times, depending on the county in the 1820s and 1830s. The second is called the Griffiths Valuation again done at various times, depending on the county in the 1840s, 1850s, and 1860s. Both list heads of household on leased property. Since no censuses have survived for this time period, many use them as a way of finding their ancestors. The tithes can be found in pieces on the internet, on personal webpages and transcribed by various people who contribute them to the websites. You will see I have some that I transcribed on my website under Counties Tipperary and Limerick. However, I have just transcribed the names and townlands, not the amount or kind of property that the leasee leased (land, house, office, etc.). The Griffiths are also all over the internet in many pieces. John Hayes has the complete index on line by county and then civil parish at: http://members.cox.net/hayes1966/griffiths.htm This index can also be bought at Ancestry or other websites because it is on CD. However, the index is not perfect, in fact, I found that there are only three people mentioned for Tipperary Civil Parish whose last name begins with a letter before the letter M in the alphabet. So looks like they left out half the leasees in that civil parish, so be careful if you base you information solely on the index. Otherdays.com and Origns.com, have the complete griffiths on line with original pages and their indexes are complete. However, both sites are subscription websites but their cost are not that high and they off more Irish databases. The LDS have filmed both the tithes and they griffiths. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton
