==Counties==
The Ireland counties listed below are based on historic boundaries pre-1974. The records dating before 1974 are located within the information found in the historic counties. This practice is best for genealogy, since most research is from before this date. Modern countries, especially in Northern Ireland, are different. In the Republic, administrative changes made to the counties were mostly reverted in 2014.

Prior to 1922 the island of Ireland was one country. The language most widely spoken is English.[1] In the Republic of Ireland, the Irish Gaelic language has official status; in Northern Ireland it has some official recognition along with Ulster Scots.
