In regards to the published census figures going back to 1841, you can find the digitized reports for England, Scotland and Ireland here: http://www.histpop.org/ohpr/servlet/Show?page=Home Use the search tab and enter townland, parish, barony, etc and year and you should get results. Since the books were digitized and indexed digitally (ie not be humans) some words might not have been recoginzed by the computer. So you will have to gte creative in your searches to get the figures for your parish/townland for each year. William D Romanski

This list is so fabulous. In just a few minutes, we have come up with a heretofor almost uniknown important genealogical resource. We have to talk more to demographers. That link is so great we should petition to have a weeklong national holiday declared so that we can all stay home for a week to do some searching through the book Now we need someone to spend a bit of time to see if we can come up with quick ways of searching/browsing in this database. Going page by page would be tedious. I don't have time right now do research that. Thank you, William and Rod and John! I am really surprised that the big guns of Irish genealogy, the guys who write all the books, haven't mentioned this resource. It is us grunts in the trenches who are promulgating it. Thanks, grunts!!! For those of you who know in what townland your ancestors lived, these figures will be very important in letting you know how they might have survived the Great Famine. And of course the rest of the tumult of the 19th century. The Great Wind, agrarian outrages, climate change, the Land Wars, etc. Ray In a very upbeat mood in Minneapolis, where it is still hot, but not so humid so easy to sleep. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of William Romanski Sent: Monday, August 23, 2010 1:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [IRL-KERRY] Census Figures Ireland In regards to the published census figures going back to 1841, you can find the digitized reports for England, Scotland and Ireland here: http://www.histpop.org/ohpr/servlet/Show?page=Home Use the search tab and enter townland, parish, barony, etc and year and you should get results.
