 If you are using emigration/immigration records to find the name of your ancestors' town in Ireland, see [[Ireland Finding Town of Origin|'''Ireland Finding Town of Origin''']] for additional research strategies.
-== Where Did My Ancestors Come From?  ==
-Are you looking for an ancestor who came from Ireland? Do you know a specific place, or only a county?  Many people have information that one or more of their ancestors came from Ireland but they don't know where. Start with step 1. Click on a locality to learn more.
-=== Step 1: Search records in the country where your ancestors settled  ===
-Here are reasons why you should search records in the country where your ancestors settled:
-*There are 32 counties and more than a thousand parishes in Ireland. It is possible to find dozens of people by the same name and in the same time period as your ancestor. Which one will you choose?
-*Country-wide vital records of the population of Ireland were not kept for the whole population until 1864. If you are looking for an ancestor before then, you may need to use surname distribution tools to narrow your search down to a specific county and parish. An online surname county distribution tool is available at John Grenham's [https://www.johngrenham.com/ Irish Ancestors]
-Records in the country to where your ancestors immigrated can provide clues about where they lived in Ireland. To learn about these records, click on a country where they settled.

-=== Step 2: Search the records in Ireland  ===
-== '''Post-1864''' ==
-A good place to start searching in Ireland when&nbsp;your immigrant ancestor was born or married after 1864 is to search the index to Ireland's [[Ireland Civil Registration|civil registration records]]&nbsp;for births, marriages and deaths. The index is found at [https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1408347?collectionNameFilter=false FamilySearch].
-In 1864, Ireland began statutory&nbsp;registration of births, marriages and deaths throughout the whole country. Important data content of these civil records can be critical for proving genealogical connections in Ireland--when surnames are less unique or uncommon. Parents names (including mother's&nbsp;maiden), place of event, witnesses, informant name and relationship, age or date of event, signature, address&nbsp;at time of event, and occupations are usually given. For example, searching for an ancestor with a unique surname in the deaths index for those born prior to 1864, may provide you with possible clues to the next-generation&nbsp;name[s] of parent[s].
-For those ancestors&nbsp;with common surnames, it still will require diligent searches, usually in&nbsp;the records of the country of settlement to help you determine a precise place or, at least the county of your&nbsp;immigrant's Ireland origins.
-For those whose ancestors were not Roman Catholic, Protestant marriages began in the year 1845. All Civil Registration continues up to&nbsp;the present.
-*Republic of Ireland availability: 1845 (marriages); [https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ 1864 (births and deaths) to present]
-*Northern Ireland availability:&nbsp;[http://www.nidirect.gov.uk/index/do-it-online/government-citizens-and-rights-online/order-a-birth-adoption-death-marriage-or-civil-partnership-certificate.htm 1922&nbsp; to present]
-Sometimes it is possible to guess where an immigrant originated through [[Surname Distribution Maps|surname distribution maps]].
-== '''Pre-1864''' ==
-Before 1864, few Irish records index the entire population. Here are some records that are indexed. <br>

-== Immigration into Ireland  ==
-Immigrants to Ireland came primarily from '''elsewhere within the British Isles''' or from '''continental Europe by way of England'''. Specific groups of immigrants included refugees from '''various wars (such as the French Revolution), Huguenots, Germans, and Jews'''. Ireland kept no official immigration records, so you must rely primarily on (1) English records of immigrants who passed through England on their way to Ireland and (2) emigration records of the country from which your ancestor moved.
-No consistent records of arrivals into the United Kingdom were kept until 1836. Beginning in 1836, certificates of entering aliens were kept. These are arranged by port. They provide name, nationality, profession, date of arrival, country last visited, and the signature of the alien. The Public Records Office, Kew has an alphabetical index to these certificates.
-Beginning in 1878, passenger lists were kept of those entering the United Kingdom (see "British Records of Irish Emigration" in this section). Passenger lists no longer exist for the years between 1878 and 1883. Records surviving from 1883 to 1891 are for the Irish ports of Cork (Queenstown), Londonderry, and Belfast. After 1891 the records are more complete. However, passengers from Europe or the Mediterranean are rarely listed. These passenger lists are arranged by port and are kept at the Public Record Office, Kew.
-One good, though limited, source of information on British immigrants, especially for before 1836, is naturalization and denization records. Other sources of information on people entering Ireland include court records, state papers, and plantation and settlement records.
