Anybody out there have any experience reviewing Estate Records? I am referring specifically to the Bath Estate in County Monaghan. I know from the Tithe Applotment books that my ancestor was a tenant on this estate in the 1820's. When I am in Dublin this September, I am planning on going into the National Library and searching the Bath Estate records. Is this worthwhile or am I wasting my time? What might i find? Any feedback appreciated. Murray Bell

You won't know till you get there. Some just have rent books listing tenants and payments, others have details of leases, and some just random letters from the landlord. You need to ask the NA in Dublin if they have an online catalogue like the PRONI. If not can ask if they can send you details of the catalogue for that particular estate. Hopefully Dublin will follow the PRONI example and put the catalogue where you can search for potentially interesting items before you get there.
