In 1873, the Local Government Board in Ireland set about to ascertain the number and names of owners of land of one acre and upwards in Ireland. Clerks of the various Poor Law Unions were called upon to draw up lists of such persons from the property valuation and rate books in their custody. The lists were returned to the Local Government Board by the end of 1875, arranged into counties, alphabetized, and finally published in 1876 under the title
Return of Owners of Land of One Acre and Upwards, in the Several Counties, Counties of Cities, and Counties of Towns in Ireland
. Since the returns include the names of small landowners as well as large-owners of modest acres as well as great estates-they stand as a census of a significant proportion of the population of Ireland in 1876 and no doubt contain the names of many people who were related to emigrants of an earlier period. (There were 32,614 owners of land of one acre and 36,144 owners of less than one acre, this latter group not named, of course.)
The returns are organized by provinces (Leinster, Munster, Ulster, and Connaught), then by counties, and thereunder alphabetically by the name of the landowner, giving his address, the extent of his property (acreage), and its valuation. The work constitutes an official inventory of land ownership and is in effect an 1870s-style
Domesday Book
for Ireland.

Applications For Enrollment of Choctaw Newborn Act of 1905
Volume VI
Softbound volume totaling
342
pages. In excellent condition. Description per the publisher;
This is the third series of transcriptions by Mr. Bowen devoted to the enrollment of "Newborn" members of the Five Civilized Tribes under the Dawes Act. Previous series have covered Cherokee and Seminole Newborn.
The
Applications for Enrollment of Choctaw Newborn, Act of 1905
, National Archive film M-1301, Rolls 50-57, are found under the heading of Applications for Enrollment of the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes. These applications contain considerably more information than stated on the census cards found in series M-1186. Series M-1301 possesses its own numerical sequence, separate from M-1186. To find each party's roll number researchers must reference M-1186.
The governing 1905 statute (H.R. 17474) defined Choctaw Newborn as "infant children born prior to September twenty-fifth, nineteen hundred and two, and who were living on said date, to citizens by blood of the Choctaw . . . ." It also authorized the Department of the Interior to enroll and make allotments to such children based on applications received on their behalf no later than May 2, 1905.
The Choctaw--as well as the Chickasaw allotments--were likely some of the most sought after properties in Indian Territory. There was supposed to be a 25-year restriction on the sale or lease of any Indian lands so as to ensure that the owners wouldn't be swindled; however, the presence of huge asphalt and coal deposits in both the Choctaw and Chickasaw Districts elicited pressure from private interests to purchase the lands. On April 26, 1906, President Roosevelt signed the Five Tribes Bill removing some of the restrictions from the sale of all inherited land but continuing to prohibit full-bloods from selling their land for 25 years.
Mr. Bowen's faithful transcriptions of the Choctaw applications provide the names of the applicants and their relatives, as well as the identities of doctors, lawyers, midwives, and others.
