Other Genealogy Resources

AVAILABLE IRISH INFORMATION-
Census and Census Substitutes:

Other censuses covering small parts of the country

Birth, Marriage and Death records:

Probate- most of the wills were destroyed in the 1922 fire, but the calendars from 1858 are in existence which give limited but helpful information. Most records before 1858 were burned. Some indexes and abstracts for wills filed before 1858 are in existence, and are worth exploring.

Cemetery- most of the cemetery tombstones have been recorded and are usually located in Irish county heritage centers or county libraries.

Registry of Deeds- don't start accessing this source until you know exactly where your ancestor lived and who they leased from (Griffith's or Tithe Census Subtitutes). It was established to prevent the transfer of property to Catholics, but it serves today as the best body of available Irish Genealogical information which survived the fire of 1922.

http://www.ancientfaces.com/  AncientFaces adds a visual element to lists of names and dates to help genealogical research. Visitors can add their old photos instantaneously on AncientFaces for free to share with family, known and unknown.
