Many catholic parish records, some as far back as the 1790's, as well as records of other churches, and census records, are being indexed by county Heritage Centers. Heritage Centers are part of a country-wide system, the Ireland Family History Foundation, which has begun to digitize millions of the records. The digitized records are currently available for on-line research at [http://www.rootsireland.ie/ http://www.rootsireland.ie/]. You can do a search of the records for free, but if you find an entry of interest, you must register on the web site and pay a 5 Euro fee to see a transcript of the full record, which may contain much additional helpful information. | Many catholic parish records, some as far back as the 1790's, as well as records of other churches, and census records, are being indexed by county Heritage Centers.
