For a list of which parish registers exist and how to find them: [https://www.ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/registers/ParishRegisters/PARISHREGISTERS.pdf '''<u>Parish Registers</u>''']. | |||
The Public Records Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) has an extensive collection of microfilmed church records. See [https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/sites/default/files/publications/Guide_to_church_records.pdf '''A Guide to Church Records'''] for their holdings and years covered. These records are only available onsite. | |||
Many Church of Ireland registers were destroyed in the fire at the Public Record Office in Dublin in 1922. To protect against further loss or deterioration, most existing records have been filmed or photocopied and the originals or copies deposited in national repositories in Ireland. Some of the deposited church records are closed to the general public. To search these records, you must obtain written permission from the minister of the parish or the bishop of the diocese over that parish. | Many Church of Ireland registers were destroyed in the fire at the Public Record Office in Dublin in 1922.
