The Common Room / Connolly landed estates in Ireland
« on: Friday 01 May 15 19:46 BST (UK) »
This started after the Williamite War (1689-91) when William Connolly, a lawyer, traded in the lands that were confiscated afterwards. He became extremely wealthy and owned a huge amount of land throughout Ireland. His family held these lands for more than 200 years.
Can anyone recommend a good book on this subject? ....even better if it focused on lands held in County Donegal.
Also, I will be in Dublin in two weeks, will visit the National Library, as well as the National Archives. I would love to find any of the estate papers that apply to where my grandfather lived, in Teelin, Co. Donegal. I'd appreciate any suggestions that would help my research.

thank you! appreciate that.
I will be at the National Archives in Dublin in a couple of weeks. Can you think of any line of inquiry that help explain this further?

The records don't have the tithe applotment books for the Parish of Glencolumbkille (Co. Donegal).
Were they destroyed?
