I found this on the net- site and all is listed. There were Donnell's I do not list- and if anyone knows anything about any of the Michaels I would appreciate it. Blessings, Kathleen1857 Griffith's Valuations of Co Donegal-This valuation records every landowner and householder in Ireland in a period shortly after the famine. An Act was passed in 1826 allowed for a uniform valuation of property in all Ireland for levying of county charges and grand Jury Rates. Thus began an assessment of the whole country, county by county by Sir Richard Griffith. Amendments were passed to the 1826 Act, the first in 1831 excluded those houses under the annual valuation of �3, another in 1836 excluded house under �5. The information given in the Griffith's gives: the Townlands address and householders name; the name of the person from whom the property is leased; a description of the property; the acreage and the valuation. If a surname was common in an area then the surveyors adopted the practice of indicating the fathers name to show the difference between two people of the same Christian name and surname (usually). So Tadgh O'Brien (Michael) is the son of Michael O'Brien and Tadgh O'Brien (James) is the son of James O'Brien. However, here in Ireland people of the same name could/can be distinguished simply by indicating the colour of their hair (as gaeilge - thru Irish ) so it would have been sufficient here to indicate that one Tadgh had red hair and one Tadgh black - calling them respectively Tadgh (Red) O'Brien and Tadgh (Black) O'Brien. The main difference between the Tithe Applotment Books and the Griffith's Valuation is that all householders were listed in Griffith's. Remember the different types of acres used in each, the Irish and English acre...this will account for difference in size of land held by a family from one valuation to the other if they appear in both. Remember also the fact that the house of less than �3 annual value were included up to the year 1831 and excluded from that point forward, and those with an annual value of �5 were included up to 1836 and excluded from then on. Where a name appears twice or more, it does not necessarily mean that there are separate people carrying that name - it may indicate the same person with his name recorded against land and a house/outbuildings in different areas of the townlands.
