Hi Folks, You will probably all be aware that the LDS aare not going to be sending out any more microfilms to their Family History Centres as of the end of this month. They say that all their records will soon be digitised so the microfilms are redundant. I doubt this is precisely true and we will not be looking at the Tithe Applotment Books online any time soon, or indeed many other records currently available on microfilm. Luckily, some of the most useful documents for County Tyrone research are already held in microfilm format in Derry Family History Centre.
These are the films that I have paid to be held permanently at the Family History Centre in Derry. The Abercorn Papers are a detailed set of land and rent records dating back beyond the Griffiths Valuation and the Tithe Applotment Books well back into the 18thCentury. As such, they are invaluable to genealogists. As well as names and maps, they sometimes contain margin notes written by Abercorn’s agents which are of immense genealogical value such as how people are related to each other. Lord Abercorn held land in both Donegal and Tyrone. I am sure that in the past, the FHS website included the names of townlands covered by each microfilm but this is certainly not the case now. This means one has to make do with the descriptions below which are based on manors. There is no easy reference source to indicate which townlands are in which manors that I know of at this time. *1.
