I know who my grandfather was, Farrell Earley, and my great grandfather was Charles Earley, but I don't know who my great, great grandfather was. Farrell lived on the family farm that was his father's (Charles) in Glenfarne, Camderry, County Leitrim. How far back in the family does the farm go?
Hi
Thank you for your message.
Valuations office in Dublin (http://www.valoff.ie) will have a record of the land registry from 1855 to modern times. This will assist in seeing what happened to any land the family may have had.
You could try checking the land records called the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp or the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64) http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/ or the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) https://familysearch.org/
Civil registration records are available from the General Register Office (GRO). These start from 1864. You can access the website here: http://www.groireland.ie/research.htm
