*'''Online Index.''' [http://irishdeedsindex.net/index.html Registry of Deeds Index Project Ireland] has indexed over 200,000 deeds or memorials in the registry. While this index is not complete, it continues to grow. The advantage of this index is it is the only index where you can search for any person mentioned in a deed; no matter what a person’s role is in a memorial. Each index record gives the names of each person mentioned in the deed as well as any relationships that are stated. It also mentions the type of memorial, i.e. lease, marriage settlement, mortgage, etc. The only drawback is that the index is not complete, but it continues to grow. It is a good place to begin a search of the deeds. | *'''Online Index.'''
