Archives[edit | edit source]

Northern Ireland is divided into 11 districts for local government purposes. In Northern Ireland, local councils do not carry out the same range of functions as those in the rest of the United Kingdom. Their functions include planning, waste and recycling services, leisure and community services, building control and local economic and cultural development. Therefore, these districts do not manage archives and libraries.[1]

Civil Registration Offices[edit | edit source]

  • How duplicate certificates are obtained has changed. These can no longer be issued from district registration offices.
  • All birth records from 1864 to 100 years ago have been digitized and are free to view and download at IrelandGenealogy.ie. Some of the later marriage and death records can also be downloaded from this site.
  • An index of Ireland Civil Registration -including births, 1864-1958, marriages, 1845-1958, and deaths, 1864-1958 - is available online at FamilySearch's Ireland Civil Registration Indexes, 1845-1958 (An index of Ireland civil registration including 1864-1958 births, 1845-1958 marriages, and 1864-1958 deaths, but excluding index records for Northern Ireland after its creation in 1922.)
  • The General Register Office, Northern Ireland (GRONI) provides an online service for searching and ordering civil registration records. To search the records online, you must register for an account.
