<br> Look for indexes to records with broad coverage for Ireland or for indexes to records for the specific county where your ancestor lived.

Every time you find new information in a record, cite your source. When you cite a source, you document the information taken from that source. If you need to look at the source again, your documentation will help you find it. If others should consult your research, they will also be able to find the source. Cite your sources on a research log, and include a library call number when applicable. If it is an original source, make note of where you found it. Your research log will serve as a guide to your research. If possible, make photocopies of your sources, and cite the sources on the copies.<br> | Every time you find new information in a record, cite your source.
