| == Using Indexes ==
| | [[Image:Mother and child at home pg. 80.jpg|thumb|right|312x240px]] |
| | | * |
| Indexes provide the information necessary to locate the actual registration record the year or quarter of the year when the event was registered, the registration district, volume number and page number.
| |
| | |
| The Civil Registration birth records to 1881 and marriage and death records to 1870, as well as the index references to 1958, have been extracted and can be found in the Historical Records database on [http://www.familysearch.org www.familysearch.org]. Extracted records do not cover all areas and do not contain all of the information on the actual registration record, but they should contain enough information that you can determine if you have located the event for the correct person.
| |
| | |
| '''Note: '''The index information for the records at the General Records Office of the Republic of Ireland ([http://www.groireland.ie/ GRO]) differs from the index information at the General Records Office of Northern Ireland ([http://www.groni.gov.uk/ GRONI]). FamilySearch has digitized the indexes. The digital images, available at {{CID|1408347|familysearch.org}} are based on the GRO index for 1845 to 1921. After 1921, they are based on the GRO index for the Republic of Ireland and the GRONI index for Northern Ireland. You must have the corresponding index information for the source you chose to obtain the complete registration information.

| | |
| Civil registration records are also indexed online at [http://www.ancestry.com www.ancestry.com], [http://www.findmypast.ie www.findmypast.ie] and [http://www.rootsireland.ie www.rootsireland.ie]. These are either pay-as-you-go or subscription websites.
