| Genealogy |
| There are two ways to search for genealogical or family history data
on the site . The first is to use the ancestor search page and look for
a name. The other option is to search for a placename and when you view
the townland record for this place you will have the option of viewing all
the records in the database for that place. EG you can view all records
from the Tithe Applotments (1830's) , Griffith's Valuation (1850's) or the
1901 census for a townland and any records which do not have a definite
townland will be available as an option on the Civil Parish details page..

manner : |
