The Northern Ireland, Valuation Revision Books, 1864-1933

 This index of over 3 million names became available in June at Ancestry. Many census records were lost during the Irish Civil war in the early 1920's, and these land transfer records can help genealogists make family connections back to the 19th century.

Ancestry is acessible at the library only,  under "Research Tools"  on the library website.
