The Down Survey or Civil Survey of Ireland, conducted by Sir William Petty (1623-1687) was the first British imperial survey of an entire conquered nation and the first survey of land on a national scale anywhere in the world.

Is now available as a series of maps at https://downsurvey.tchpc.tcd.ie/history.html

Under the GIS sources tab, https://downsurvey.tchpc.tcd.ie/gis-sources.html

The geographic information system (GIS) has been created by merging the OSI and OSNI townland databases to make one all-Ireland dataset. The Down Survey has been geo-referenced in its entirety to find the modern equivalent of every townland recorded in the survey. We can now determine the exact location of each of the place names mentioned in 17th-Century sources.

I visited Ireland in 2022 and the area of Galway where my 3xGGF lived. I find these maps fascinating

Would the annual journal of the Irish Genealogical Research Society, “The Irish Genealogist,” be considered a reliable source? It seems like it would be equivalent to The American Genealogist periodical. The tables of content for the journals are freely available online, and the individual journals are available for purchase. https://www.irishancestors.ie/irish-genealogist-contents

Thanks Katrina, I've added it.

Is this the place to put Family Genealogies? I have used the book 'Upton Family Records: Being Genealogical Collections for an Upton Family History' by WH Upton, printed 1893. It deals with Uptons from England, Ireland and the USA. I find it lines up very well with my own research of the publicly available records. I wouldn't like people to think it's not reliable because it's not on this page.

Hi Richard, I notice you have some of the Burke's peerage publications in your sources 1500-1700 section but on the England https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England_Project_Reliable_Sources and the EuroAristo https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:EuroAristo_Project_Reliable_Sources reliable sources pages, these publications are specifically deemed not reliable.

I'm just thinking it is going to be confusing for people who might be working on profiles from all 3 projects if there are differences in assessment of the value of these sources.

When people query why they shouldn't be used, I usually link to this analysis from Britannica https://www.britannica.com/topic/Burkes-Peerage
