-There are many types of indexed records that cover parts, even large parts of Ireland. Searching those indexes by name only can turn up several entries of the same name. '''Never jump to an immediate conclusion that you have found an entry that matches your ancestor'''. Study the information for other clues that verify the match.
-|}
-*Make sure the person you found in Irish records '''left Ireland'''. Look for them in marriage and death records of the same vicinity. See whether they have children a generation later in the vicinity. These things prove they remained in Ireland and would rule them out as your ancestor.
-*Match '''any other relationships'''.  If you already know the parents' names, spouse's name, and/or siblings' names, make sure they match the parents' names, spouse's name, and/or siblings' names of the person you are considering in the Irish records. The parents and grandparents will usually be listed in birth records found in [[Ireland Church Records|'''church records''']] or [[Ireland Civil Registration|'''civil records''']]. Search for siblings' birth records and any marriage before leaving Ireland in the same index.
-*Study '''all available entries for that name born at the same approximate time''', not just the first possible match you see.
-*Consider the '''coverage of the database''' you are using. Does it cover all of Ireland? Or could there be many other records not covered that could hold your ancestor's record. For example, if the database is for just one province, there are 110 other provinces which could have your ancestor's record.
-*Make sure the details you have learned about the person after they immigrate have '''no discrepancies''' with the person you found in Irish records.
-===Ireland Records Databases to Try===
-*[https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/GuidedResearch:Ireland '''Ireland Guided Research''']
-*[[Ireland Civil Registration|'''Ireland Civil Registration''']], government birth, marriage, and death records are available online for many provinces from the early 1800s to the early or mid-1900s. These records can name grandparents in addition to parents, and towns for residence and/or birth for both.
-*There are several [[Ireland Church Records|'''Ireland Church Records''']] online.
-*See [[Ireland Emigration and Immigration|'''Ireland Emigration and Immigration''']] for records of Irishs immigrating, including some online digitized records and indexes.
-*See [[Ireland Online Genealogy Records|'''Ireland Online Genealogy Records''']] for other databases that might hold clues.
