Genealogy (aka Y-IRL) An Irish 'Genealogy'
list, created by me (Jane Lyons) in 2001. This list
takes in the history and culture of the Irish in
Ireland and the Irish Diaspora.
For
those of you interested in a Military connection
there is a Mail list for you that I would recommend.

Graveyard Place - this is where I put gravestone
photographs not held on this site
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 Edenderry,
they immediately think of County Offaly or King's
Co. - they'd never think of it having anything
to do with County Kildare and genealogical research
in County Kildare. 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
Kildare, 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 Kildare.
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.
