Each record includes both a transcript and an image of the original document. The amount and type of information will vary depending on the date and nature of the document. Images offer additional information, particularly about the land being assessed. Some book types, such as tenure books, include notations about the property as well as notes on the cost of rent and any additional observations. House books also often include descriptions of a property and its various components, such as notations of office, barn and piggery. Quarto books include observations about the tenement.

Ireland, Catholic Qualification & Convert Rolls 1701-1845
Explore lists of over 50,000 Irish Catholics who swore loyalty to the crown or converted to Protestantism.

Each record contains a transcript and an image of the original entry. The amount of information may vary as there are different kinds of records included in the collection. Most records will reveal your ancestor's address, occupation, date of conversion or qualification, date of enrollment or court hearing and the location of the court.
