The National Archives of Ireland
The main object of the site is to explain what the archives contain and help you plan a visit. However, more material is now available online than in the past. This is found under the Research tab rather than the genealogy one and is listed as Online finding aid databases.
SPECIAL FEATURES
About Us Start your exploration by clicking here, and then select About the National Archives: Some Facts. Next, clicking on Archives Held by the National Archives explains what does still exist, given that at the beginning of the Civil War in 1922 almost all the archives held by the Public Record Office of Ireland were destroyed by fire.
Genealogy leads to a page with further links to the various areas of the archival holdings. Census Returns, Tithe Applotment and Primary (Griffith) Valuation, Wills and Testamentory Records and Births, Marriages and Deaths are just some of the headings.
Other links include Genealogy Centres Listed by County andGenealogical and Historical Researchers.
From this list, Genealogy Links will be among the most useful, offering a list of further organisations which may be of help, including the IreAtlas Townland Database, an Irish Emigrants site, Records of the Irish Constabulary and of The Valuation Office of Ireland, and many others. Another link goes to the Irish Family History Foundation at www.irishroots.net, where a county-by-county database of records can be consulted.
January 2003 saw the introduction of a New Genealogy Service, though this refers to what is available if you visit in person, not what can be accessed online.
