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 Callan, they immediately think
of County Kilkenny - they'd never think of it having anything to
do with County Tipperary and genealogical research in County Tipperary.

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
Tipperary. 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.
