Virtually all Irish census information was lost in the destruction of the Four Courts Building during the Irish Civil War in 1922. Genealogists have come to depend upon many substitutes to find evidence of their ancestors' lives and existence. Here is information and actual data from some of them.

• Griffiths’ Valuation (officially known as The Primary Valuation): a survey of land and property carried out from 1847-1864, from south to north in all counties in Ireland, for the purpose of tax assessments to support local Poor Law administration. It includes occupiers of land and buildings. There is a CD-ROM published by Family Tree Maker (CD #188) which is a Householder’s Index to Griffith’s Valuation. The LDS Library also has an index on microfiche. After finding your family, you must consult the LDS microfilm or fiche to view the transcript of the original Valuation.
  • County Kerry Griffiths, Some Townlands in Castleisland and Brosna Civil Parishes, 1852
  • County Kerry Griffiths, Census Data - Townlands in Knocknagoshel Catholic Parish (Castleisland and Brosna Civil Parishes)
