__NOTOC__=== Introduction === | |||
'''Northern Ireland''' is one of the four constituent countries of the [[United Kingdom]] (together with [[England]], [[Scotland]] and [[Wales]]). | |||
Northern Ireland was created in 1921, when the island of [[Ireland]] was partitioned between Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland. Until then the whole island of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. Southern Ireland, later became the Irish Free State in 1922, and in 1949, the Republic of Ireland. | |||

=== Getting started with Northern Ireland research === | |||
Researching in Northern Ireland is NOT the same as researching in the [[Ireland|Republic of Ireland]] for the following reasons: | |||
#Although originally Catholic, over time what now constitutes Northern Ireland became predominately a Protestant country. | |||
#The majority of records are based on English law since it became a part of the [[United Kingdom|United Kingdom]]. | |||
#Many of the original records have been destroyed in the various conflicts that culminated in the 1921 "troubles", but copies of some records do exist | |||
#Therefore a knowledge of history of this area and the potential records that could be found is essential | |||
