Look out tomorrow for PRONI's release online of the Griffiths Valuation Revision Books.
Griffiths is a great snapshot of heads of household in Ireland around 1860s period. From 1864 these valuations were updated annually until 1930. PRONI is releasing this resource online.
Here you will be able to follow a property through that period to see movement of families and inheritance within families.

Griffiths Valuation Annual Revisions
Griffiths Valuation Annual Revisions
Beginning from 1864 it is possible to follow the history of a property using the annual revisions, sometimes known as the cancellation books.
Using different colours of pen amendments were made frequently to the Griffiths Valuation. It may be amendments to the names, the acreages, the type of holding or the rateable value. whatever amendment was made the colour coding allows you to identify which amendment was made on which year.
This is a great way to move back and forward in time to see inheritance of property and maybe indicate when a death or move occurred in the family.
