| The [http://www.nli.ie National Library of Ireland] digitized their microfilm collection of Roman Catholic parish registers and released them online in July 2015. The starting date of the registers vary by parish, but the cutoff date for the microfilms was usually 1880-1881. These images are free and can be accessed through their website, [http://registers.nli.ie/ '''Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI'''], however they are not indexed on that site. [http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=61039 Ancestry.com] has created an index to this collection, [http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=61039 '''Ireland, Catholic Parish Registers, 1655-1915'''], linked to the original images. See [http://www.familysearch.org FamilySearch], [http://rootsireland.ie RootsIreland.ie] and [https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ IrishGenealogy] for other, sometimes partial, online indexes. For help with Catholic parish names and dates and availability of extant records visit John Grenham's website [http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/counties/rcmaps/index.htm Irish Ancestors].
