-#Under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement, people from Northern Ireland can hold dual citizenship with the Republic of Ireland, if they opt to do so.
-#Northern Irish records tend to be distinctive in that Irish is not used in an official capacity. The crown also appears on some of them.
-#Pre-1921 records can be accessed from both Belfast and Dublin. Post-1921 Northern Irish records are not available in Dublin, unless that person has become an Irish citizen.
