Church Registers on line

The NLI ( National Library of Ireland) has now made available birth and marriage records for much of Ireland. Typically the records start in the early 1800s or the late 1700s. what you get is a photo image of each page … but most of the early years are in Latin.

First look at the map of Ireland in the website, select a dioceses or parish and you will see what is available. Some ink is faded, some pages are grubby, but you have a fascinating search on your hands.

Anyway there is a Toolkit to help you with the Latin.Screen Shot 2015-09-20 at 18.54.35
