We are delighted to announce the addition of 579 Lease Abstracts for the Manor and Lordship of Monaghan (1679-1810) to the Roots Ireland database! These leases not only name the people who have agreed the lease, but also often mention other people and their properties in the leases and as such are a very useful census substitute for Monaghan.

New Clare Records Online

28th November 2022 By Brendan Scott

We are delighted to announce the addition of almost 27,000 names from the Tithe Applotment Books covering all of County Clare dating from 1824-43.

The Tithe Applotment Books are a vital source for genealogical research for the pre-Famine period, given the loss of most of the nineteenth-century census records. They were compiled in order to determine the amount which occupiers of agricultural holdings over one acre should pay in tithes to the Church of Ireland.
