Here we give an index to the Tithe Applotment Books by surname. The original Tithe Applotment Books are arranged by parish and townland and can be viewed in this format in the Tithe Applotment Books: Parish Index, or by clicking on the “Go to” button at the end of each row in the Surname Index. This will bring you to the original transcription, arranged by parish and townland, where the person is listed. You will need to search the list for the townland in which the person is placed.

Standardisation of Surnames
When the Tithe Applotment Books were transcribed for this project, all personal and townland names were transcribed as they appeared in the original books - see Tithe Applotment Books: Parish Index - except for the “O” surnames, where an apostrophy was added after the “O”. For example, “O Donoghue” is given as “O’Donoghue”.

For this surname index we have also standardised the “Mac/Mc” and “Fitz” surnames as follows:

All Mac/Mc surnames have been changed to “Mc”, with no space between this and the next element in the surname, e.g. “MacMahon”, “Mac Mahon” and “Mc Mahon” are given as “McMahon”.

All “Fitz” surnames are given without any space and without an internal capital letter, e.g. Fitz Gerald and FitzGerald are given as Fitzgerald.

These changes were made to avoid the separation of similar names within the index.

Clare County Library wishes to thank Rainer Kosbi
for his assistance in creating this surname index.
