\"ireland\" Irish Genealogy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Irish genealogy can be a little tricky depending on the time period.\u00a0 Hopefully some of these resources will help you out, as they have for me.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Irish Genealogy Toolkit<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 A great reference for Irish research.\u00a0 If you want to get your bearings in Irish genealogy, I recommend you start here.\u00a0 Provides useful information regarding various records types, if and where they are available, and how to use them.\u00a0 Also includes a handful of Ireland maps, as well as genealogy forms and charts.<\/p>\n

Census of Ireland 1901 & 1911<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Digital images of the 1901 and 1911 censuses are available through the National Archives of Ireland website for free.\u00a0 Note:\u00a0 There are multiple pages of the census including a household form, two building forms, and the enumerator’s abstract of a street or townland.<\/p>\n

Ask About Ireland<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Tons of resources including digitized books (they refer to them as eBooks) and informational articles.\u00a0 Visit the Reading Room<\/em> for these resources.<\/p>\n

IreAtlas Townland Database<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 Gives you the county, barony, civil parish, poor law union, and province for each townland.\u00a0 Knowing this information is necessary in order to figure out where to look for a particular record.\u00a0 If for some reason your search for a townland name doesn\u2019t reveal any matches, run a search on only the county and it will pull up a list for every town in the county.\u00a0 Sometimes the search is just wonky, other times the town may be listed as a variant of how you thought it was spelled or presented (one word versus two words).<\/p>\n

Ireland Genealogy Projects Archives<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 Various abstracts and transcriptions of records including cemetery, directories, newspapers, and vital records.<\/p>\n

Centre for Irish Genealogical and Historical Studies<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 Various resources for Irish research, including a guide for both researching in the National Archives of Ireland and the General Register Office of Ireland.<\/p>\n

Irish Archives Resource<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 “This web site contains information about archival collections open for public research in Ireland. Its purpose is to aid researchers in finding collections relevant to their studies.”<\/p>\n

Visit Irish Genealogy<\/a> for the entire list of Irish resources, or visit my library<\/a> to see my entire collection and other lists.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m always updating these resources, so be sure to check back regularly. To receive updates to the Irish Genealogy list, you can subscribe via RSS<\/a>. You can also subscribe to my entire collection<\/a> at for updates to all of my lists.<\/p>\n
