While every Irish history enthusiast knows that the majority of Irish wills were destroyed in the 1922 disaster at the Public Record Office in Dublin, it is remarkable how many original records do survive. In this CD-ROM we provide an index to original records, copies, extracts and abstracts, totalling over 70,000 records. Not only does this index include the Testamentary Card Catalogues, Charitable Donations, Thrift, Crossle and Jennings Abstracts, it also indexes (for the first time) the surviving Inland Revenue Wills and Administrations.
This first volume covers all 32 counties for this poorly documented period. It contains over 70,000 individual records with over 100,000 names, over 10,000 surnames and variants, over 1,000 different occupations. For more information see publisher's web site.
