Griffith's names on Ancestry.co.uk

Griffith's Valuation of Ireland was originally a listing of properties, landlords, etc. for taxation purposes compiled by Sir Richard Griffith . Ancestry.co.uk is now providing online access to approximately 1 million Irish names in the collection, spanning the years of the Irish Famine (1845-1852). An important resource for anyone with ancestors who migrated about that time!
