Indexes provide the index information (the year or quarter of the year when the event was registered, the registration district, volume number and page number) necessary to locate the actual registration record. For early births and marriages, extracted information from the Civil Registration records can be found in the International Genealogical Index (IGI). Extracted records do not contain all of the information on the actual registration record, however extracted records contain all or a portion of the index information as well as other information that will make it is easier to determine if you have located the event for the correct person. | Indexes provide the index information (the year or quarter of the year when the event was registered, the registration district, volume number and page number) necessary to locate the actual registration record.

Note: The index information for the records at the General Records Office of the Republic of Ireland (GRO) differs from the index information at the General Records Office of Northern Ireland (GRONI). For the IGI, Family History Library and Center and familysearch.org indexes are based on the GRO index information for 1845 to 1921. After 1921, they are based on the GRO index for the Republic of Ireland and the GRONI index information for Northern Ireland. You must have the corresponding index information for the source you chose to obtain the complete registration information. | '''Note: '''The index information for the records at the General Records Office of the Republic of Ireland (GRO) differs from the index information at the General Records Office of Northern Ireland (GRONI).
