There has been a great deal of destruction of the major Irish genealogical record sources. A fire in the Public Record Office in Dublin in 1922 destroyed many records. Additional records were destroyed by the government.
The following records have been destroyed:
- Two-thirds of The Church of Ireland original Ireland Church Records parish registers.
- Most pre-1900 Ireland Probate Records.
- Marriage bonds and allegation.
- Ireland Census|census returns for 1813, 1821, 1831/4, 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, and 1891.
- Coupled with government oppression of the Roman Catholic Church record keeping practices, this loss has resulted in only one in seven, 14%, pre-1800 churches still having parish registers available.
Substitute Records[edit | edit source]
Although many records were lost in the 1922 fire, other records can be used to supplement the information lost.
- Betham Genealogical Abstracts - abstracts of genealogical records collected by Sir William Betham. Useful substitute to records lost in the 1922 Public Record Office fire in Dublin.
- Crossle Genealogical Abstracts - abstracts of genealogical records collected by Dr. Francis Crossle
- Thrift Genealogical Abstracts - abstracts of genealogical records collected by Gertrude Thrift. Records include wills, parish registers, freeman lists, and pedigree charts. Records date as far back as the 16th century.
