Deep roots – Clare Genealogy


In addition to its rich resources of books, Clare music videos, historical documents and such, the Clare County Library offers an extraordinary tool for researching family history using their historical maps of County Clare.

Their new system enables the library to represent surname distribution from the 1820s Tithes, 1855 Griffiiths and 1901 Census datasets as interactive heatmaps linked to the extensive data on our website. The maps are also linked to the thousands of pages on this website dealing with the archaeology, history and administrative divisions of County Clare.

Here is a guide to using the map service.
