Antrim
County, IRELAND
It
is over a year since I removed whatever I had on line for my index
to Heads of Household in Belfast City at the time of the 1901 census.
Altogether there were over 30,000 heads of household living in Belfast
in 1901, I have indexed the names of 13,000+ of these people using
the enumerator sheets, the names are spelled in the same way that
the enumerator spelled them. Some names can't be read properly. In
the past, I have tried to index these names by the street but that
has been too time consuming. Now, I am beginning to bring the index
on line and it is sorted alphabetically by the surnames. I am giving
the name of the Head of Household and the name of the street. The
complete information as to any family can be obtained through your
local family history centre. Some of the streets are divided over
more than one film but you can get the references for these films
through your FHC

Antrim
Genealogy
- Antrim (History & people etc) -
I
don't like 'pure' genealogy per se, that is, the putting of names
on a family tree, instead I like to know about the people, how they
lived and the places they lived in. There are lots of people who
are not like me, who do like to know just the names and where they
came from. The pages linked to below are pretty much to do with
pure genealogy (but a little bit of the other thrown in!).
To
my mind, the Lewis Topographical Dictionary is one of the most
valuable and ignored tools for genealogists or family historians
because it gives us alternative names and spellings of parish
names, also, most importantly it names the religious parishes
which cover any civil parish. I find that people generally do
not understand the Civil Registration Districts and the fact that
a district can cover townlands in different counties. If anyone
(myself included before I got to know all this) thinks of Coleraine,
they immediately think of County Londondery or Derry - they'd
never think of it having anything to co with County Antrim and
genealogical research in County Antrim. My version of the Griffiths
Primary Valuation differs from that which you find in the Griffiths
CD in that I list the names of the people who were the 'Immediate
Occupiers' and how many times a persons name is listed as having
land in any townland.

County
Antrim, history, geography, genealogy, people
Every
time I have seen someone ask if anyone knows anything about education
or emigration on any of the mail lists I have been subscribed to I
always think of the 1931 descriptions of the counties in Ireland which
I have on line. At the end of every county description there are tables
listing the figures for emigration from the county, education in the
county, whether or not the people speak Irish, and a breakdown of
the religious denominations in the county taken from various census
returns from 1821 through 1926. So, these descriptions are of historical
and genealogical importance.
The
Official Authority listings for the counties listed below include
the addresses of the people named, some of whom were lviing in County
Antrim. The Diocescan listings were one of the first sets of pages
I created for this web site, because sometime way back then I had
read that when a man qualified as a priest he was usually put back
into his own parish, originally I had considered these tables of
importance because they told us the names of the Roman Catholic
parishes in a Diocese in 1836 (which sometimes changed over the
years) and they also told us the name of the closest post town -
this never changed. So, to me, these lists help if I am looking
for a Roman Catholic parish which no longer exists. I find the name
of the closest post town to where-ever it is I am loking for information
about and then I find the records which co exist for that area,
regardless of the name.
Lists
such as the 1832 Military list, the Revenue Officers, the Admiralty
Examinations, the General Synod, the Presbyterian Synod - these can
apply to any county - they are of genealogical & historical value.
The Frenchman's Walk gives me impressions of places at that time,
the names of people he met - genealogical & historical.
