Every list you put out is read thoroughly by myself, and well appreciated.
I'm searching for Black, which is a common name. All we know are the
names and spouses of a large group who emigrated to Upper Canada from
Tyrone, Ireland in 1847. Thanks to your efforts I feel that I may now
have a good guess about where they emigrated from. I'm still working on
the proof.

Hello Boyd and all,
I cannot stress the value of the Tithe Applotment Books to Irish
researchers, but my decade-long project of transcribing every parish
in Co. Tyrone has brought zero response and I have often wondered the
value of continuing with the project. Some parishes have two surviving
books and both warrant transcribing: tithepayers may be recorded in
c1825 but gone (generally emigrated) by the late 1830s.
The possibly easiest method to locate the origins of emigrant
forebears is to refer to Griffiths Valuation (c1860)
http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/ for any
concentration of the names/s you are researching and then refer to the
relevant tithe applotment books.
Am not sure if it will be possible to create an index from my files
(formatted in Word), but will be considered. To date, the number of
pages compiled amounts to 1,504, and the number of entries recording
the names of tithe payers amounts to in excess of 35,000. And the
transcribing continues. It is a major project and is not being
undertaken in any other county in Northern Ireland.
These are VERY important records.
Best wishes with your researching,

Hi Len,
A small point.
As you say, the TABs are essential for researching the previous
generation and the only place to find them for Tyrone is at CTI, where
you have transcribed them. And they are essential viewing IF you know
which parish to research.
However, I am often searching for a family in the 1820s/30s where the
only location known is Co Tyrone. This is easy for the GV as the
website allows one to search by county but I cannot do that with the
CTI database. How hard would it be to merge the TAB data which is
currently divided by parish, into a database covering the whole of
Tyrone which would then be easily searchable. Think the Hacketts in
that email we commented upon yesterday.
Best wishes,
Boyd

Yes, Kathleen, Askaboutireland
http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
<http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/> is a great
website for searching for entries contained in the c1860 Griffiths
Valuation – both by surname AND location. Remember that phonetic
spelling of family names was most common in Griffiths, so it is
useful to consider variations in spelling. The facility to upload
data and photographs has been available since 2011
Also, the indexed Tithe Applotment Books of the 1820s and 1830s
for Co. Tyrone are essential for researching the previous
generation: the most extensive database for all Tyrone parishes is
available on the CountyTyroneIreland website
http://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/titheindex.html
<http://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/titheindex.html>
I hope that you have found some useful data amongst the many files
on CTI. All good wishes,
Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia

Periodically, I go back and check Griffith's again - especially if
I find a link to a new family. This time I noticed the option to
add information, photos, etc., to the record. Is this new or have
I suddenly opened my eyes to something that has been there all
along? It's a great idea.
