A good place to start | A good place to start searching in Ireland when your immigrant ancestor was born or married after 1864 is to search the index to Ireland's [[Ireland Civil Registration|civil registration records]] for births, marriages and deaths. The index is found at [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/show#uri=http://www.familysearch.org/searchapi/search/collection/1408347 FamilySearch]. | ||
After 1864, Ireland began statutory registration of births, marriages and deaths throughout the whole country. Important data content of these civil records can be critical for proving genealogical connections in Ireland--when surnames are less unique or uncommon. Parents names (including mother's maiden), place of event, witnesses, informant name and relationship, age or date of event, signature, address at time of event, and occupations are usually given. For example, searching for an ancestor with a unique surname in the deaths index for those born prior to 1864, may provide you with possible clues to the next-generation name[s] of parent[s]. | After 1864, Ireland began statutory registration of births, marriages and deaths throughout the whole country.
