Other Info
 
In no other way have the records of Ireland been more devastated than through the huge loss of historical census records for this country. Many still exist to this day; however, they are neither comprehensive nor fully extant. This course touches on the importance of the census record and its availability or lack of availability depending upon period and locality in Ireland, as well as a discussion on the various forms of census and census substitutes (1630-present) that exist for the combined territories of what is now referred to as Northern Ireland and the separate Republic of Eire. In addition, we will discuss the importance of the various government land and people surveys in Ireland that act as census substitutes in the absence of other information.
