Please contact us at archives@kildarecoco.ie for advice and assistance with your family history research. The main genealogical sources available to those tracing their Co. Kildare ancestry includes church records of various denominations, civil records of birth, deaths and marriages, property valuation records, the 1901 and 1911 household census returns, as well as ancillary sources such as maps, gravestone inscriptions, cemetery records, newspapers, trade directories, local histories and publications.
We have computerised many of these sources including church records of baptisms, marriage and burials, gravestone inscriptions, Griffith’s Valuation and 1901 census returns. These can be searched via our subscription based self-service at RootsIreland.ie
