Irish
(and a few international) Genealogy Links
- Until 1922 the entire island of Ireland was one administrative
unit. Both Dublin and Belfast repositories have at least copies of
the pre-1922 records, with those in Belfast largely, but not
completely, confined to the nine historic counties of Ulster. It is
only after 1922 that the records are different. The Public Record
Office in Dublin was destroyed during the Irish Civil War in 1922,
along with virtually all its holdings. From the point of view of
genealogy, the most significant losses were the 19th-century census
returns, the Church of Ireland parish registers and the testamentary
collections. Anything not in the PRO has survived, including
non-Church of Ireland parish records, civil records of births,
marriages and deaths, property records and later censuses. For much
of the material that was lost, there are abstracts, transcripts and
fragments of the originals.
