Find your ancestors in Dublin Registers & Records

There are eight Irish titles, comprised of PDF images, included in this collection. They contain parish records (baptisms, marriages, and burials) from the Church of Ireland, which will often include a combination of the following, depending on which type of record you are viewing:

• Name
• Event date
• Parents’ names
• Husband’s name

Occasionally, other details are recorded, such as father’s occupation or how a couple was married (by banns or by licence).

If searching by a full name does not yield the desired result, try searching by just the last name. You can also search the index in the back of these titles to help pinpoint where in the publication your ancestor is located. Additionally, by using the previous/next buttons, you can flip through the registers in their entirety to see all the names listed.

If you wish to read a publication from the beginning, search by the title name and sort by image number. The first page, image number 1, will be the start of the publication. Then use the previous and next buttons to read the entire publication. By starting at the beginning of a title, you can read the preface, which often includes additional insights into the publication and its organization, as well as what it can offer you in your family history research.
