Cork County Council Genealogy Podcast
Find out how to trace your family's land or property records in this week's podcast. Karen O'Riordan of Cork County Council’s Library Service provides an introduction to Griffith’s Valuation which was conducted for the island of Ireland in the mid-19th century. This is followed by a brief overview of the Cancelled or Revision books which have their origins in Griffith’s Valuation and run up to the latter half of the twentieth century. The Tithe Applotment Books which were compiled between 1823 and 1837 consist primarily of occupiers of agricultural holdings in excess of one acre of land. Finally, there is an outline of possibilities if your ancestor lived or worked on a landed estate, with an introduction to the website landedestates.ie. Listen now at https://www.corkcoco.ie/en/
